You could even reduce her daily ration a bit more and feed her individual pieces of T/D as treats - it might make her think she's getting more treats, but it wont' add extra calories. I'm probably not endearing myself to Musetta with this comment... Clea, if I recall correctly from my veterinary days, the T/D diet kibbles are larger than those of most other dry cat food brands.

I've started limiting how much food we give her. She eats - and loves the dental T/D diet - so I don't want to change her food. But I give her a scant scoop a day, and try to limit treats, too.

You're doing an amazing job getting Bailey to loose weight. I love the idea of the bird feeders as an encouragement for Bailey and your other cat to get some exercise!

Since October she has lost 5 lbs. We switched her food to Royal Canin 40 Light awhile back, but we still had to cut back on her portions. She does not free feed. She gets breakfast & dinner. Playtime plays a huge role for Bailey. That has what has helped the most. We have bird feeders placed right in front of a big window, so she & our other cat run back & forth from window to window. They play once in awhile, but I have plenty of wand toys to encourage her to play as well. Bailey was 20 lbs. Since October she has lost 5 lbs.
