Tubby Tummy Thursday

When I first caught Meow-Me, she was very pregnant with Coco and Felix.  Fast forward 11 months later, she STILL looks as pregnant as when I first caught her!  BTW, she's spayed so there is NO way she is pregnant in anyway.

Meow-Me is a a rather small framed cat but look at the size of that tummy! She was 3.5kg the last time we weighed her.  Coco is the same frame size as her and only weighs 2.9kg

I can barely reach my ears.....stop nagging and come help me scratch, will ya?

Meow-Me, the poster girl for "pear shaped"

And here she is, on the stairway to tubbiness....notice how her tummy hangs down?

Being "locked up" while her children finish their food

I am NOT fat!

I had cut down her meals for some weeks now and couldn't understand why she was still so tubby.  Then I found that she would take over Coco's kibbles after finishing her own, then move on to finish Felix's.  And this meant she was eating meals for the equivalent of almost 3 adult cats per day (Coco and Felix eat kitten portions so it's twice the adult meal size and they usually would have eaten half of it when Meow-Me takes over).

So now Coco and Felix get adult portions (since they can't finish the kitten portions) and as soon as Meow-Me finishes HER meal, I take her out until her everyone's done eating. Let's hope this will help her trim down (I've brought her to the vet to make sure there's nothing wrong with her and he checked and said she was just fat).

Boomer wants to thank everyone for their purrs and well wishes.  His wounds have healed nicely.  He still isn't allowed outside as the monsoon season is here. Rain, rain and more rain!
