    WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! 19 pound (yes, you heard me right) Xavier, soon to be known as Jake will have a permanent home for Christmas.He's about 8 years old and was given a clean bill of health (althought he is overweight). Negative for both leukemia and aids. UTD on his shots and neutered. He's a real marshmallow (as you can see by the video). I'm excited and have decided to make it a Ploss tradition. If I lose another cat, I'll find an oldie but goodie to take home with me.

    Jen,

    Thank you for your generous offer to give him a home. I was so worried about what I'd do if he was positive. You put my mind at ease. oxoxoxox





    He's definitely going on a diet. Good thing he doesn't eat canned food. He's going to fit in GREAT!!!

    This is GREAT news!! I am so excited! And I am also going to do as you are, when I lose one kitty I want to replace them with an older cat. That was my plan when I lost Taz, but decided a kitten was a better option for Paizly. Well, that's not so true either. But I know Jax will be fine with any age. Hopefully that is a LONG way off for me though, since both of mine are still so young.

    19 pounds is a lot of kitty (but I love it!). My Taz weighed in at 21 1/2 at his heaviest. And Pierre at the shelter was over 40 and now he is down to about 35.
    I can't wait to see Jake in his new home and see how he transforms when he starts losing weight.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!


    Cindy (Human) - Taz (RB Tabby) - Zoee (RB Australian Shepherd) - Paizly (Dilute Tortie) - Taggart (Aussie Mix) - Jax (Brown & White Tabby), - Zeplyn (Cattle Dog Mix)

    You may have to remind folks "Jake" is a male, over time. As he loses weight, he may have "spay sway." LOL!

    Nice to hear he will soon have his own home, YIPPEE!

    I'm so glad to hear that Jake is healthy and hopefully you'll be able to get him to lose some of his extra weight. Canned food actually has less calories in it than dry food. My Ziggy girl is quite a large cat for a female and she's mainly on a canned food diet with only a small portion of dry to help her to not gain any more weight. Good luck with this sweet boy.

    I'm picking him up on Friday. This way my pet sitting job will be over and I can be home with him.
