Share your tips, techniques, success, challenges and just general progress at getting your kitty friends into top shape.

I have a special challenge in that I have 4 cats with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) -- http://www.vetinfo.com/cencyclopedia/cecerhypo.html -- and they can't always get around obstacles or jump up to get to their food. And my worst affected boy uses so many calories to get around that I'm not sure he'll ever have a weight problem.
