Yeah, plump is about right. However, the vet told us he should stay at the weight he as at when we took him there the first time, a couple of days after adoption. He was about 12.75lbs. The vet told us that he was at his perfect weight...and that's the first photo. The next time we went he was...

Oops, this should go into Health... mods can you please move the thread?

Sigh... Ferdinand is fat. Wasn't when I got him, but now he is. I feed him Technical "urinary" health food, not cheap stuff but it seems pretty good, his coat is gorgeous. Urinary health due to the fact that I read somewhere that tabbies are prone to UTI. And I want to minimize the chance of...

This whole thing cracks me up, I did not know cats react like that to harness. I think I will steal that "use the harness to cut nails" idea. Yeah, he's a looker. I've posted this one before but here it goes again:

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks guys! So, definitely not uncommon. I will keep trying! And yes, it's the shoulder part he reacts to because the collar does not bug him. And, by the way, how tight should the harness be?

So, Ferdinand is not alone then! I might do the same thing about the nails. The way I do it right now is catch him a bit off guard when he's asleep.

Reaction to the harness that is. I need opinions on couple of things regarding the leash/harness. First, Ferdinand is 2 years old. Might be too late for this but you ever know. We got him from SPCA in August. He's an adorable tomcat but is skiddish by nature. We live in an apartment but I...

Yeah, it's not a cheap food but seems good. This is what the vet recommended as well.

Well, he's not really fat at all(other then big neck and 'pot belly'), he looks rather good. However, I have a feeling that he'd gain weight rapidly if I free-fed him, which I would like to do. But more then free feeding him, I'm wondering how much to feed him. The package suggests one cup of...

LOL Well, this is the first time ever I am having difficulties gauging portions for my cat. I have had cats before(in 2s and 3s) and I free fed dry food and fed wet food twice a day. However, those cats could go outside for a bit every day or couple of days and there was no weight issues...

I know about marking behaviors in cats, but I have never seen them do it on a vertical wall like this. He's pretty territorial then! That's a good advice with feeding... I tried something similar, I put his food out before we go to bed. But he perks up by wee AM hours...

Well, seems like Ferdinand is really good at waking us up about every second night. After his freakout accident with the bed a few weeks back( http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=138451), he's still scared of it...well more uncomfortable then scared, enough for him not to want to...

So, your cat is ok after eating those?

Keep them away from lilies!!! http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=140557
