Hi! My cat is shaped like a Maine Coon, pretty heavy and big. He would like to be shaped more like a Siamese, small and dainty.
Any foods he can eat to do that, exercises he could do?
I know you can't shape change, but is there something you can do to change his shape? Pills maybe? A cleanse?

    Sorry, but this is genetic. Perhaps you should try to get your kitty to look more like a Siberian?

    Unfortunately, like a human's, cats skeletal structures have a lot do with shape. It's unlikely your cat will become the Kate Moss of catdom. But if you aim for health and vitality for your kitty, you'll find they will be liberated from the scale! Ditch those stereotypical, Fancy Feast Hollywood beauty ideals - ALL CATS are beautiful and cuddly no matter what size!

    I heard catisthenics can do wonders.

    Exactly!

    No body shaming!! Love yourself (and your cat)!

    Weight loss surgery. It's the only tool that actually changes body shape. But remember, it's just a tool.

    Noooooo do not do raspberry ketones - it's well known that the sudden and terrific weight shed causes hair loss. Look what happened to my friend's cat after 2 weeks of raspberry ketones! :noway:

    I think this is the best way to go for my cat she's gain 3lbs and keeps doing the same destructive behaviors. I feel so much shame I hate being seen with her. It's disgusting the way her tummy moves from side to side now.

    That's clearly just a case of excess skin from losing weight too quickly. The problem is that raspberry cattones are TOO effective.

    It would look better shaped like a Brazilian.

    Ugh. Everyone knows that dogs and cats have different processes for losing weight.

    I mean, comparing dogs and cats would be like saying that men and women are similar.......

    If you want to kill your cat, go ahead and try to change him into a Siamese. Lol. He's looking adorable as is. You might check out Royal Canin cat food. It's high grade and nutritious without added sugars and carbs. Some of the cheap cat foods that you get in grocery stores are not really that great for your pet.

    Why would your cat want to look like a Siamese? Real cats look like Maine Coons.

    Low carb, cut all gluten out it makes you puffy. Also, make sure you are weighing your cat, not measuring.

    A waist trainer for the cat is the next best thing to change its shape. Wear for 23 hours a day.

    Old age worked for our cat. He shrunk from a big healthy fluffy 20 pounder of beautiful cat to a wizened creeping scrawny lay in the sun and idly bat at passing mice guy before he died at age 22.

    So probably just wait.

    Your cat should stop looking at air brushed pictures of celebrity cats and start doing what is healthy for them. Real cats come in all shapes and sizes. Your cat should try lifting weights instead of dieting.

    The only thing would be non oily tuna and a low activity dry catfood CICO. Also, play with the cat, get some cute cat toys and get his heart rate up two x perday. Get some scissors, trim that coon hair down and bleach it blonde, except around the mouth, ears, tail and paws. Viola! Siamesie.

    ^ Trim and dye. Basically makeup contouring for cats. No need to diet!
