Does Betty like any battery-operated and/or sensor-activated toys? Thinking that while you're working or out, maybe she'd like to work out. I'm not a fan of hard plastic battery-operated toys, but if she needs more exercise...I don’t think it’s a problem yet. But I also don’t know if I would recognize it transitioning into problem area. I kinda prefer a chubby cat after feeling Krista waste away under my hands. Betty is starting to zoom again at night. Things can’t be all too uncomfortable for her yet. Despite those zoom yowls. And if I helicopter in , I get a “what’s the big fuss, Dad?” chirp. “I’m just playing.” I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to zoom yowls. Over a hundred vocalizations and I have to hear that one when she’s happy playing in the middle of the night.
On the other paw, she sleeps entirely too much during the day. And the night. I shouldn’t be discouraging any activity no matter what the hour if I want the pork train to start pumping the brakes.
I like a well-padded cat as well. Not unhealthy. Just cuddly. Baby Su is "cat slats" at 17 1/2 and I encourage her to eat, eat, eat!!! Elvis is just right, to me -- a little bit prosPURRous. I know cats in their natural habitat and pursuing their own natural prey tend to be quite lean. But "house" cats can be a little bit round IMHO. Betty looks absolutely perfect to me. Do you have a standing-over-Betty pic to share?
