I think this is only true of outdoor cats because they're getting plenty of exercise. Indoor cats will most definitely get fat.

Depends on the cat and the environment. Plenty of indoor cats won't get fat plenty of outdoor cats will get lazy and fat.

Also depends on the food. If you give your cat fresh tuna or something they'll eat as much of that as they can.

I know you think Gizmo is fat, but he maintains a 17lb weight eating as much as he wants and the vet said that's a good weight for him. If he had no self control he'd keep growing.

My cat's pretty good about self regulating too. I'd say I've known more that aren't than are though. And Gizmo's still a young'un.
