I have one cat, her name is actually Kitty. My husband and I adopted her a little over a year ago, when she was 6 months old. She easily should have been 6-8 lb, but she was only 2 lb. I was looking on facebook and saw someone trying to find a new home for her. I didn't plan on getting a cat but something told me I needed to go get her. Once I got her home I realized how underweight she was. I asked the man how much he fed her and he only fed her 1/4c of food a day. She was limping a lot so I thought he had injured her, but it turned out her muscles had wasted away so much she couldn't bear weight on the leg. Now she is a very healthy teenage cat who weighs a whopping 18 lb. She is such a loving cat, and regularly cuddles up to our 7 month old baby.

Welcome! I am so glad you rescued this dear girl. How horrible that she was wasting away like that. She is a real beauty and I want to tickle that sweet tummy. Eighteen pounds is a big girl - I have an 18 pound cat, too. More to love.[emoji]128077[/emoji]

You have a great user name. I also love giraffes and have spent long hours at zoos gazing at them in awe.

Thank you! She is a big girl, and we were really surprised at how big she got. The vet told us she would probably be small because she didn't get adequate nutrition.
