hiya all - I rarely have been posting around lately I know so I hope you all remember us!
there has been quite a few questions asked about how my new silver kitty, locke is doing so here's an update about him...okay, whew, it is a bit overwhelming and I'll try to keep it short.
I'm really worried about him. since I got out of hospital for two weeks today, I couldn't believe how so much more skinny he is now.
this all started way in back of the summer while we were roadtripping.. losing just a little time to time. I assumed it was the all stress he dealt with.. but then I didn't had the chance to work out the meal amount for him while recuperating from my surgery.
the pictures you last saw of him from his breeder, (if you didn't, search "locke") were very much bigger than when I got him. THAT bothered me but he was eating, playing and purring fine and ate as much as others.
so when we arrived back here from california, I decided to increase amount in his food to see if it had helped ease the stress, it really didn't. and he began to chew through my blankets. or any farbics that has a SPOCKLE of food, food grease or whatever on it...especially my pajamas.I then washed everything and he began to get better at it. I've also watched out for his colorful logs - thankfully they seem all had came out.
then only for him within the last two weeks he was with me, I thrice amounted his meal daily - he never can finish his meals I hand out several times during the day and he ate as much as he wanted to. sometimes when I am home, I'd leave him in bathroom with his foodbowl. always a little over half left; not sure whether if that means half empty or half full.
and now my friend who have been watching my cats for two last weeks has been giving them double than what my catsitters usually give (because I never felt it was enough and a lot less work for them) and has been free-feeding locke..
behaves & potties okay but extremely skinny? today is sunday; tomorrow I'm going to phone a vet and see for an opinion. meanwhile, please keep him in your thoughts that there's no serious obstruction - we don't, DON'T need any more troubles..
maybe I am a little over worried, I'll try to get some before/after pictures up tomorrow. even though he's my problem child but I can't love him more and want the best for him.. he's such a sweetheart to go through this.
