So a picture of a 39 pound cat has gone viral lately and the whole topic really irritated me. They say a 39lb cat is the equivalent of a 600lb human health wise. The owner said basically that the cat just seemed to put on the weight overnight. Well that's just not true and it's just not right for anyone to let their beloved pet (or child) get so unhealthy. Reggie and I swim/and or walk together everyday weather permitting. Your pets need to stay healthy just as much as you do. You aren't showing them more love by letting them eat themselves to death. Obviously a cat owner won't be able to swim or walk with their pet, minus the exceptional few, so they have to find other ways to keep them purrrfect. Graycie put on some weight when we first moved here, she got up to 14lbs. In response, I stopped using the autofeeder and I started dishing out only the one cup a day but in small portions served throughout the day, kind of like my own six meals diet. I also make sure she has lots of fun toys that get her moving and lots of things to climb on for cardio. I keep her food up high (so Reggie doesn't get into it) and it makes her work for it. Graycie is now 11lbs and real purrty so I know these tips work.
