Yep, I know everyone here thinks I'm a pretty together guy (...silence....) but I mentioned it in another thread that Baby Girl is fat. Baby Girl is raw fed, spoiled, and our Queen Bee lost some weight and we decided to give her a mid-day meal to put weight on her (which has done the trick) and Baby Girl decided SHE needed a lunch too and got fat.
Queen Bee's lunches consisted of fattier cuts of dark meat poultry, egg yolks, and goat milk. Baby Girl apparently is cute and was able to be cute and beg and entire portion out of me (I'm a weak man) and got fat.
Her joint health is not good to begin with (she gets cosequin for cats and fish oil) but she's fat now, and her joints can't take it so her diet now is strict.
I feel bad because the weight crept up and we didn't notice it until she was struggling to jump and not as active. When she trotted over to me one day I noticed she had no waist.
So we've been giving her a lot of leaner proteins and much less fat.
We've been letting her run to her hearts content after toys, laser pointers, etc. (she will chase anything, which is good).
So yeah, if anyone here has a raw fed cat that's struggling with weight issues, I feel for you.
Signed, over indulgent cat owner that can't say "no" to a cute, chubby cat face begging for a snack.
