Emily - fat or something wrong?

[sirrahbed]

We are back from the vet It did not cost anything, doctor put her on a diet (Hill's W/D) and even sent us home with a big free bag. She was 5 pounds in August and 10 pounds today. So, her "mass" is pure flub I am SO relieved! Nobody laughed at me, either - at least not while I was there. Thanks everyone!

Emily is officially PLUSH He did ask about her exercise routine....ahem...well like her brother Dylan, she does love to bat her paw at things, does THAT count? I think the only exercise she gets is when she plops down to have her belly rubbed, even though we DO play with her often!! I guess WE do all the work! So, I am going to put both Emily and Dylan on the diet. Hard to believe she is only supposed to have 1/2 cup a day of this!! Good grief - I KNOW she eats far more than this! I figure Dylan should have about 3/4 to 1 cup. Now the trick will be feeding them only once daily and in different rooms i guess? I have always kept dry food out at all times, with the understanding that cats will not overeat The food is expensive, but if i use the quantites it says, I think it will be OK - sure will keep them healthier I am sure. Maybe *I* will diet along with them and make this a family event eh?
