I had to smile sterretjie..at your last msg...
Male cats are pre-disposed to being larger.... especially after they have been neutered..... Also some cats are bigger than others,
my 2 females are quite small, my friends cats , are huge....
especially the males,they make my 2 look like kittens still.
Our neighbours across the road had a fluffy ginger male cat,
he was enormous(weight wise) he was 17 years old, they had to put him on a special diet, but it made no difference, especially since he used to come and eat all my cats food too ....lol.....
He was a persian so hardly had any legs, his stomach almost reached the ground... I had visions of him getting stuck in my cats flap.... They had no idea why he had put on so much weight...
He was mainly fed dried food and occasionally wet food...
I am sure your cat will be fine and live to a ripe old age....
Just keep tags on his weight and seek dietary advise from the vet. Mine seem to thrive on a combination of both foods , just like you do with your cat.....
