I have four cats in various states of obesity, and I have found that cutting
down on food for all of them tends to make the ones with small appetites
VERY hungry, resulting in weight loss for the fat one. The rations must be
kept at a level where the skinny cats eat all of their food immediately or
this will not work. Then you can also feed the fat one slightly less, knowing
that the others will not give him (her) a chance at their leftovers.

Another obvious solution is to cut down on the number of cats, but I have
been extremely unsuccessful in that.
