A fat cat looses weight

First of all, I'm glad that you take the responsibility of stray and dumped off cats. I think that it is good that the cat has given you inspiration to get your girlish figure back! You'll have to reward her with some tuna fish or something!

Hm, losing weight catching mice. I might have to try it.

yeah for kitty! What an inspiration for sure! It is a great time of year for us to focus on lightening our load. Loosing a few pounds and getting in better shape. I personally, have been on a diet since one week before Christmas :0 It wasn't a resolution, just happened that way. I have lost weight too. I used the formula of: Your current weight (taken first thing in the morning as soon as you wake) multiply by 10 and minus 500. The sum is the amount of calories to intake per day to loose one pound a week. Of course calorie intake along with exercise as well is the optimum way to shed unwanted pounds. I think it is horrendous when people acquire animals, bu choice and then just dump them. how inhumane. Heartbreaking and almost hard to fathom how human beings can be so .. selfish? I realize that sometimes circumstance are beyond ones control and changes are necessary. It is troublesome to see that often the pets are the ones taking the brunt of such situations. Good on you to capture the cats to neuter so to help control the population. I just wish more people would think twice before getting animals and have enough common sense to fix their pets with who then do not intend to breed. Not just for population control but for the health benefits of the pet. Well, good luck to you, with the cats and the weight. I am starting more cardio so to boost my metabolism so to burn more calories a bit easier.

Just as long as you do not feel compelled to go out and hunt rats and other rodentiae in order to achieve that girlish figure, we will be alright. I can imagine you scampering through the fields.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one taking care of cats. I would love to find a nice barn for the 3 feral kittens - well, they are now almost a year old - but they are fixed and have 3 yr rabies shots

Its good that your cat is doing well and has lost some weight. Having a heavy cat isn't good for the animal. However if the problem starts to re-present itself might I suggest you try to play with her more and encourage her to be active. It will help you both feel a lot better because playing with her would reduce your stress level.

I guess it is like with us Humans really, if you have someone else to do it for you why do it yourself lol so that is what she must have thought but of course now there is no one to do it for her It will be good for her though to loose the Weight

Hi Sweets I wish you were closer.... I have 2 strays that hunt well that would fit farm life nicely. My son is rescue crazy.... Had a number of cats he took in... 4 were pregnant...has kitties...had everyone nuetered/spayed and many found new homes.. We have 6 living inside and 2 out in the barns/sheds because the inside cats just ndon't like them... They did accept 2 cats but not the other 2... Just like people they decide who they like and who they don't. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi, Pat! What a very kind person you are. I wonder if those cats know how blessed they are?

Hey pat! That's really great that the cat is losing weight! I unfortunately had two obese cats and I swore that my cats that I have now (all were indoor cats) would never be allowed to get fat again! I am doing much better with these two guys! They are very active and the Vet said they are at a good weight of 13 1/2 pounds! That is half the weight of my last two poor boys! As for me, I am a yo-yo! I don't diet because I am so not good at it, but I have now decided to start walking again with my girlfriend even though it is still really cold out! I am going to try at least to get myself out and walking when it isn't too cold out! I am much more active in the Spring and Summer, but I have really bad Osteoarthritis which keeps me from doing my walking in the Winter! I am going to try to do some walking tomorrow to the grocery store! It is quite a hike from where we live, but I am going to try!

That's good that the cat is losing weight.I adopted a fat cat and only had her for about a week.She got liver disease from being overweight and she had to be put to sleep over it.It's unhealthy for a cat to be fat.I hope your barn cat gets back in shape.
