Poor kitty

[Taz_Zoee]

That cat didn't appear to be THAT much over weight. We have a cat at the shelter that was about 45 pounds when he first came. A volunteer got him down to just under 40 and now I think he is around 35. He was adopted then brought back (that's another LONG story).
My Taz weighed in at 21.5 lbs at his heaviest and he could still jump up on counters and in the windows.

But yes, it is very sad when the owners do not realize what is going on. They just want to make their pet happy and feeding them is one way to do that. Oh wait.........that's my problem too with myself!

That cat didn't appear to be THAT much over weight.

He doesn't to me, either, which makes me wonder if he's arthritic... in which case keeping the weight off is even more important!

Sherpa used to carry about an extra 2lbs, but his asthma was getting really bad, and our vet said getting the extra weight off would help. It has! Poor Sherpa was free-fed before I moved in and he thinks I'm the kitty torturer, starving him. But he's fit and perfect now!

I don't think that cat is really that fat either. Could lose a bit of weight. As for jumping up on something, my Missy has never been much of a jumper. Once in a while she surprises me and jumps on something I never thought she could!
