I am helping Mommy water the plants, that coupled with my diet cat food should help me get my girlish figure back.
I wants to assure you that Mommy LOVES me no matter how I look, but I needs to lose weight to be healthy and happy. I had gained so much weight I was getting clumsy and was unable to jump and climb like I used to and (this is embarrassing) I was having trouble grooming myself.
First we tried Hills Science Diet because my vet sells it. The only problem is I wouldn't eat it. Socks and Arty enjoyed it though. But then they don't need to lose weight.
Next we tried Iams® ProActive Health™ Adult Indoor™ Weight & Hairball Care, and guess what I actually like it.
Mommy loves the fact that I am more active then I have been in a long time. I also seem happier and spend more time with my family instead of sleeping in the Master Bedroom. Mommy says it looks as if I have lost weight but we won't know for sure until I go to the vet and get weighed, paws crossed the scales have shown some weight loss. Cats should not lose more than 1% to 1.5% of initial weight per week., so losing all the weight I need to will be a slow process. We don't want to risk other health problems by restricting my diet too much.
Mommy has never had an overweight cat before so this is a learning experience for us. We suspect that part of the problem is genetic in that I probably have the genes to be a large cat and that I got depressed after Charybdis died and was less active then usual. The pounds just gradually added up and I went from being a slightly overweight cat to being an obese cat that spent most of her time sleeping in the Master Bedroom. Mommy is so happy I am playing more and coming out of the bedroom to spend time wherever the parents are. Arty's disappearance created a setback as Socks will not play with me and I do not like to play by myself.
Socks was the week 5 feline winner of Iams Play Young Stay Young Contest so he will be eating Iams too. He is going to be eating Iams® ProActive Health™ Senior Plus.
And we were very happy to discover that our local PetSmart is now carrying Eukanuba. Fenris is getting to enjoy it as we had a coupon for a free bag. Eukanuba is kinda out of our price range, but Fenris really enjoyed it when he took the Eukanuba 28-Day Challenge.so Mommy was happy she could get him another bag.

Some of you know the dreadful word OBESE was applied to me. Large fat deposits over the chest, back, tail base and hindquarters. The abdomen sags prominently and there is no waist when viewed from above. Yep, that was me. Now I am pleased to announce...

Fenris and Tuiren found a Goose Feather when they were walking with Mommy and asked her to bring it in for me to play with. I enjoy having some of the things I used to enjoy finding brought to me. Mommy kinda had to doctor this photo as it was over...

I LOVES this box. Not only is it a good box to lay in but do you know what was in it? Canned catfood. Mommy has had trouble finding my diet canned catfood at the grocery store and she didn't feel like driving to Petsmart so she ordered it online....

Some of you have asked how I am doing on my diet. I thinks I am doing well. Mommy choose to get me diet cat food rather then restrict my portions. For one thing I screams when I wants food till the humans gives it to me and for another when they restricted...

Easily digested Iams ProActive Weight & Hairball Care is formulated to meet the unique needs of indoor cats. It's made with 10% less fat than Original formulas. Fewer calories in combination with fat-burning L-Carnitine, and a special blend of carbohydrates that keep pets feeling full, enables heavy cats to gradually return to a healthier weight. Whole grains, beets and rice support a healthy digestive system, and help reduce hairballs and litter-box odors.
