After the vet recommended that my cat should go on a diet, i have stopped feeding him twice a day (once before i go to work and once after i reach home at night) to just feeding him once in the morning. I don't think he is taking to that very well because he kept meowing at me the whole night and looking at his empty bowl so piteously yesterday. It seemed that he was not just taking 2 meals a day but even three because my maid would feed him sometimes in the afternoon when she noticed that his bowl is empty (or perhaps she too suffered from his "i'm-so-pitiful" look). So you can imagine what a big difference it made when suddenly he could only get a bowl of food a day. In the end, i relented a little and gave him a few bits just to calm him down. I guess it would have to be a gradual cold turkey for him or else it may seriously dement the poor fellow.

Well, as much as it pains me to "starve" the poor thing, i guess it is for his own good. Hopefully he will get used to it soon.
