My cat (female) is fat and not easy to pick up. She can eat whenever she feels like it. What should I do in order to help her lose weight?

I would start giving Sedona meals at specific times, once in the morning and once in the evening. Read the instructions on her bag of food on how much to feed her daily, and divide it into two equal portions. This should help her lose weight.
