My Ulysses got to 18lbs VERY quickly. I imagine if he had a lazy owner they may not have cared that he was gaining so much weight. Poor Mickey. He's got to feel better. I have never been overweight but people I know always say how much better they feel when they drop 10-15 lbs - I can only imagine it's the same for the kitties. If only they could talk.... A video of this would be fantastic :-)
Hi!
z). That's 4 oz down since last week. I would have liked to see 5 oz like the previous 3 weeks but I won't complain about 4 oz.
Uh - hopefully there was some kind of cover on the dish? :cross:
he can groom his shoulders now! :bigthumb: That's just great - he must be feeling wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
z) on Saturday. That's only 2 oz down from last week. That's after losing only 4 oz the week before. His rate of loss has really slowed!
Looking forward to the video!
No. not much change. I would guess every 2 lbs lost might bring real change as far as behavior goes. Well, he is moving better. It used to be that it was easy for me to keep in front of him when I am taking food to his room. Now he stays right on my heels!
He's still losing but if he keeps losing only 2 oz a week it's going to take *forever* for him to get to a healthy weight.
It helps a lot that Mickey is so laid back. In fact the reason I didn't take him at first (he was with another foster for 2 months) was because I knew he was going to be a long term project and so wanted him integrated with my clan and not stuck in a room by himself for months and at first we didn't know what his disposition was. I've been fostering long enough now that I how each of mine will react to just about every personality type a strange cat might have. So I knew the laid back personality his first foster said Mickey has would work well with mine with minimal effort on my part. I just had to make sure that my scaredy cat, Coco, could get away from him until she learned he was no threat.
I was told it was because her cats wouldn't stop hissing at him. I don't know if that means he was causing too much disruption in the household or what.
He's definitely better off where he is now :-)I was told it was because her cats wouldn't stop hissing at him. I don't know if that means he was causing too much disruption in the household or what.
It's just as well. He was confined to a laundry room there and didn't lose any weight at all during the 2 months he was there. I'm sure he's a lot happier here.
z) tonight. 3 oz down from last week. Sigh. I *really* want him to lose at least 4 oz a week. I know it's good that he is still losing but still...
Has Laurie said how Billy's weight in went this week? I haven't seen anything.
