On Her Way to Chubby

Post vet visit nap, in the Sweetie Spa
Very thankful today, that Sweetie gained a wee bit of weight since her last vet visit:

May: 7.00 lbs
August: 6.88 lbs
Early September: 6.72 lbs
Late September: 7.60 lbs
October: 7.75 lbs
November: 7.88 lbs
December: 7.92 lbs!
⭐🌟⭐

So very pleased, after her weight drop off earlier this year, that she's doing well.

The vet said that the most important thing is for her to eat; taking her meds is secondary.

We've tried this and tried that over time, never with 100% success.

I found small portioned cat food, and break open one of these multiple times a day.

Fresh food seems to attract her, and am tweaking the amounts so we have as little waste as possible.

And, conversely, we don't want her swelling up like a balloon either!

  2. Getting kitties to eat can be challenging. If you find things she likes and do it in small doses, hopefully she will keep eating and putting on a bit of weight. Mom went through that years ago with one of her cats.

  5. Dearest Eastside cats,
    Sounds positive for Sweetie and you are facing the same issue that we faced with our Angel Dido boy. He ate very small portions of food, several times a day. In general, all our senior kitties are eating less.
    Hugs,

  7. I love that Sweetie is gaining a little weight. I don't think you ever need worry about her ballooning up. She is not the type.
