So, I would just like to start of by saying, I am 16 years old, but mature for my age. We have a fat cat, so fat she is unable to clean her backside, so we have to clean it for her. However, because this is added work and everyone in my family would rather not deal with it, im very unsure what to do! They would rather just euthanize her than to deal with it, and I think that's just wrong because, there's really nothing wrong her her other than being overweight.
So, I started her on wet food about 2 days ago, and i'm very unsure of myself with it. When I put it down, she seems excited but she eats very,very little! I'm worried after reading Mikey's, Bennies and Molly's journey that she might loose weight too fast causing more problems. My mom said she might not like the food, but she seems like she's enjoying it. So, i'm really worried she's not eating enough, but is it possible she just really needs that low amount of calories because she barely moves?
I just want the best for my cat. I definitely do not want to see her be put down for a silly reason like that, but I am a student and find it very difficult to monitor her along with all my other work. So, Im just curious to see what you think-once I get her down to a proper weight, should I put her up for adoption? Mainly because once she gets down to a proper weight, would it not still be a hassle to maintain her weight, or would it?
Im mainly just looking for guidance here, someone thats on my side. Thanks a ton, any opinion/tip is extremely appreciated!
