Looks like my Miss PurrdyThat's okay. Like I said, I've done the same, and I managed to embarrass myself and offend others multiple times before I figured it out. Think of it this way: A warning is more likely to be taken seriously when it is given in a polite, compassionate way that makes it clear you want to help the cat--not shame the owner.
Many good owners just have their cat's weight sneak up on them. They free-feed a cat with a tendency to overeat, or they don't realize the importance of high-quality food, or they're the kind of person who expresses love by giving treats. It happens slowly. They aren't malicious. They might need a heads-up--that overweight is a sign that the cat's diet or lifestyle are not ideal. But they do usually love their cat. Think of how it happens to humans; we just have the extra dinner roll or the extra scoop of mashed potatoes, and years later we're carrying around fifty extra pounds. That's the way it is for cats, too.
The people I really would want to shame are the ones who have skinny, flea-ridden, obviously uncared-for cats. Those are the really malicious or uncaring people, and they're the ones you can store up your anger for, because they're the ones who deserve it.
Being that it's a girl, & a tabby, "How about Tabatha?!"This little girl needs a name! I am having trouble coming up with a suitable name for her. Any suggestions are greatly appreciatedthanks!
I was thinking the same. That would be a good one for the "Show me your eyes" thread!
