Hi everyone.:) As most of you know my Ziggy Stardust has been on a diet. When she was at the vet for her annual exam on June 13th, she weighed a whopping 15.9lbs.:eek: My vet told me that she needs to lose at least 2 lbs and to feed her 1/4 of a cup of dry and 1/2 of a can of canned food per day. She also wanted her to go back for a weight check in 1 month.
Today I brought her in for a weight check and she's now down to 14.6lbs.:D I'm so happy that this diet is working. A vet tech weighed her and she later ran into my vet to tell her about Ziggy's weight loss and to make sure that she wasn't losing too much too soon. When I got home I had a message on my anwering machine from the vet tech saying that my vet said that everything is fine and to keep up the good work.:)
I used to feed everyone Innova Evo but I've now switched to Nature's Variety Instinct because it has fewer calories and because I don't trust Proctor and Gamble. P & G has now taken over all of the Natura Pet Products which include Innova and Innova Evo. I feed my cats 4 small meals a day. They get 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. I buy the rabbit and duck dry and the venison,duck,rabbit, and lamb in the canned. Everyone loves it.:)
Pearl is still mainly on a dry food diet because she's a very picky eater and will usually refuse canned food. I have noticed that since the other 3 cats are eating mainly canned food, that there's less stool waste in the litter boxes and it's a lot less stinky too.:) I've heard that cats digest canned food much more easily than dry food so there's less waste. Hopefully Ziggy will be able to lose the rest of the weight that is needed. Thanks for reading.:)
