Tabby Tuesday: Vets and Dieting

Brian's Home, adopt cats, we deserve it!Brian's Home, adopt cats, we deserve it!Yep, you guessed it, I got stuffed in the PTU and hauled of to the Vet AGAIN!  Boy did I complain about it the whole way too.  Not to worry, I’m fine, I just had to get stuck for my annual vaccinations.  That part was not nearly as bad as the car ride and the advice from the Vet.  Once again the Vet mentioned that I’m a little over weight, by about 2 pounds. Big deal I say!

But since I’m not the only one here that could stand to lose a little we are all on a diet.

Brian's Home, adopt cats, we deserve it!Sister Precious went to the Vet last week, and she checked out just fine.  But the Vet said she is just a teeny little bit overweight, but just by a couple of ounces.

Brian's Home, adopt cats, we deserve it!Sister Gracie had put on some weight due to the steroids in her asthma medications and although her asthma hasn’t been bad at all, she is just having a difficult time dropping that unwanted weight.

So, we’re all dieting.  The good news is that we really seem to like our weight management food.  The bad news is that is seems to bother Sister Zoe and her food allergies.  So Dad has been having the challenge of trying to get 5 of us to eat one thing and Sister Zoe to eat the before-diet food.  Hey, I told Dad I could do both if that would help!

Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!  Purrrrr! Zip! Later!

We think 2 pounds over “perfect” is just about right. The Bein actuarial tables say so!

Oh Precious, we are so glad you checked out all right. We scream in the carrier too. Our poor doggie roommate has to go to the vet today.
We know all about different cats getting different food. We all offer to eat each kind too. It is hard to lose that extra weight but we know all of you can do it.
Have a really fun day and stay cool.

Well at least I am not dieting alone. ~Scylla

Mommy has never had any success feeding one of us something different. We are always convinced whatever the other cat is getting is better.

It sounds like you are all very well cared for. 2ls ?? I say “no big deal” 🙂

Good luck with the diet! I think that was very nice of you to offer to eat both foods to help out….. You are a good sport!

Brian, I am amazed at how casually you were able to lie on the counter at the Vet’s!

Maybe it is just the angle of the picture, but Gracie does look a little chubby there!

Oh, we know about diets here! Samson’s steroid treatments for his allergies have also made it difficult for him to lose the weight so we’re ALL on the diet. Good luck with the new feeding arrangements, I hope you can find something that works for all of you.

Oh my stars ~ 2 lbs and a few ounces over weight??? My goodness, you all look perfect to Banjo and I. It never hurts having a little more to love we always say. 😉

Good luck to Dad in getting everyone fed their own food. Ha!

Hannah wishes you hadn’t posted this today – we have been told she must see the vet before she can have any more tablets (steroids)!! Mum thought she was getting a bit heavier due to eating my leftovers but she’s suddenly thought oops steroids – which she is on for her asthma!! Now I’ll get nagged at too for leaving food for her to eat for me!!

I didn’t think that 2 pounds is much at all… but 2 ounces…. how do you measure 2 ounces… whew… that’s splitting hairs. Good luck with the diets pals….

Mom tried cutting back without changing food for us. Everyone lost weight but the chubby girl that was SUPPOSED to lose weight. Mom has surrendered….. MOL

We’re glad you’ve all checked out fine! Weight schmeight. We think the vet is ridiculous for even mentioning *ounces*. Sheesh.

The mom says good luck getting one food you all can eat. Even with just the two of us, we need different things (Nicki needs fibre, Derry doesn’t, one likes this, one likes that).

You all look nice and healthy to us! Better to be a few ounces over than underweight.
I hear ya, Bailey wimpers when he has to go to the Vet too, but they all love him and
give him his favorite peanut butter treats, so he forgets why he was scared.

Happy Tuesday to all furry and human friends.

Brian, you look like you are just being so casual at the vet!! The kitties here would be up on the ceiling!! Everyone here is a few pounds overweight and Holly is always on a diet! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly

Glad that everything went well at the vet, but I’m sorry to hear about the diet!

cate

Uh oh diets – I think you all look pretty good, but then I keep saying that about Milly and Poppet. They need to lose a few pounds, but I find it hard with two kitties eating out of the same bowls – they share each others, so who knows what each has eaten. Any tips on how you do it will be greatly appreciated. Glad everything else was fine :))

Cathy

You are looking mighty relax at the vets, Brian. I think more encounters with Da Bird will help you lose those 2lbs easily. And a whole lot more fun too!

Good luck on your diets!!!!!!!!!!

Bailey

Awww, it doesn’t sound like a few ounces is a lot. It must be really hard to keep everyone away from the before-diet food, though!

Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday! 🙂

Woofs & hugs,

Oh boy, I feel bad for all you guys! I know how this drill goes. So do my Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Irvin. Thing is, they never lose the weight, so they’re on a perpetual diet!

You so handsome, Brian. Your sisters sooooo pretty. We think maybe that v-e-t’s scales are messed up. Ooooorrrrr, they gots dollar money invester in the diet foods.

Since my human starves us to death is very careful about portions, our weights check out fine at the vet’s. In fact, I am underweight, and my human’s task is figuring out ways to get me to eat more!

Junior & Orion
12 years ago

We feel your pain. I, Junior, like most foods…..a little too much.

I, Orion, like most foods too, but I don’t eat as much as my brofur. Plus Meowm still has not figured out if I have food allergies or if it is something else that causes me sometimes have really stinky poo and pull out my furs.

Diets——-a never ending battle.

Cindy Dodd

Not a diet!! You all look perfect to me.

Cathy Keisha

OMC! It’s Precious! Tell your peeps a little extra weight is good for cats. If you haven’t heard about the cat who was almost abducted by a hawk, but was saved because he was a fat cat and the the hawk couldn’t carry him, let me know and I’ll send you the link.

Oh, Brian we think eating both foods would be what we would volunteer to do too. We wish you all the best luck on the diet although we don’t think you are so much over weight. You all look very beautiful to us. Hugs and nose kisses

Ah yes Brian, I complain all the way to the Vet too. So glad you are O.K. but don’t know about dieting though. Cleo needs to, but I seem to be loosing weight without the diet. It’s always great to like the food you are eating diet or not. Mom got some new hairball stuff but don’t know if I like it yet or not.

Brian maybe we need to have a cat weight lost club since all of our V-E-T’s suggest diets. This way a little fun could be added to the program of losing weight.

Sweet Purrfections and Angel Praline

Going on a diet is good for you, even if it’s hard. Glad you like the new food.

I’m back blogging again. I’ve set up a new blog for my future furchildren. Please come by and visit me at https://sweetpurrfections.blogspot.com

Well, I myself am very svelte, but the Human? A WHOLE other story. Maybe your vet could prescribe some food for HER, heh heh.

You are such a big-hearted big brother to volunteer to make Zoe feel comfortable at mealtime! Can’t you do kitty kalestenics or play more turbo-track batting instead of dieting…you know, exercise kinds of stuff…maybe 15 minutes of strenuous zoomies?

Glad to hear the vert visit went well for both you and Precious.

We want to be sure and thank you for leaving kind words upon Jack’s passing over the Rainbow Bridge. Our cat and cat-loving friends are helping us immensely in recovering from the loss. Baby has deeply grieved, but is doing much better with right attention and love.

Happy news! She’s a real cutie.
I just asked my wife if she had ever run across your name while cross posting on FB. She said she hadn’t, but was amazed at how many mutual friends you two have. Also, tons of mutual friends with your friends.
