Hi all, my cat Floss has always been an outdoor cat and to be honest he has been more like a tomcat in the way she behaves. Its not so bad where I live and not too many threats where I live for her being an outdoor cat but I prefer all my kitties where I can see them. All the others are loving indoor life and I have managed to persuade floss, she probably goes out twice a day, basically to do her business in the garden then in again. I am happy as she is becoming more friendly and affectionate but the main problem is she is getting really fat, she has put on loads of weight this past month. She doesn't eat a great deal but obviously the lack of excercise is taking its toll. I have bought a Da Bird off ebay, its coming from America, I bought it before xmas so hopefully will be here soon, I am hoping this will help (them all, they are all lazy
). Is there anything else I can do, without changing her diet as I have found a diet tht suits them all, Billy one of my other cats has a very sensitive stomach and it has taken me months to find foods that suit them all and especially Billy. Any cat excercise tips or anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. xx

Be careful with that Da Bird. You could overexert your kitties the first time. They will all exercise when they see it.

Thanks for the tip, is it really that good? I have had poor imitations in the past and they haven't seemed that bothered, I can't wait to get this, I will post pics when I do
I tell you it will take a rocket to get my lot moving. x
