I thought this was a particularely nice pic. of Kermitte. She's lost a LOT of weight, and she looks a lot happier these days. She's mellowed a lot too!
I know! She seems to be constantly hungry, and has even started bullying Elmo out of his dish... before she's finished hers! She NEVER used to do that. It used to be the other way around. I've discovered a very easy way to keep the cats amused, active, and full. I get my little container of kibble, and toss one piece down the stairs (Kermitte usually goes bouncing down after that one), and one down the hall. Elmo goes after that one. By then, Kermitte's come back up, and I send her chasing after another cookie. I can keep them both quite happy for 10 minutes with that game. And I toss a treat for the dog every once in a while too, otherwise she just stands there and drools.Originally posted by blondiecat
Well she is a pretty girl that is for sureCongrats on the weight loss. I know how you feel about that, right now The Sammycat is on a diet and has lost some weight. He was not a happy camper for a little while and there is nothing worse than a cat that wants his kitty cookies........Now!
Humm... Good question. I'd say at least a good 5-6 months... We didn't really notice the weight loss as it happened. It sort of just dawned on us one day that she was a lot thinner than she was. We're feeding her a prescription diet, because she's has problems with Cystitis (sp?) and/or a reocurring UTI. Weight loss will vary with every cat. It depends on how overweight they are, how old they are, how healthy they are, etc... As for how much she's lost, probably about 4-5 lbs. I'd like to weigh her, but she's fast asleep right now.Originally posted by cla517
Great pictures! How much weight has she lost? How long did it take? My two fatties are on a diet right now and they are not happy about it! I was wondering how long it takes to get a cat to lose weight? I know they certainly gain it fast!
