Kitty News… unfortunately she has been under the weather again (she has lost her ability to jump) so I made an appointment for her at the vets. With the possible diagnoses looking very gloomy… a tumour, arthritis, and some other weird hip disorder that would mean being referred to an orthopaedic vet (yes really) I did what any loving Cat Mum does and order every available test. Poor Kitty had blood work, an upsetting exam and an x-ray that involved a general anaesthetic.
The verdict, while very reassuring, was one that a causal lay person, such as you or I could have made…she is over weight and has to lose 3lbs.
Poor Kitty, and poor me, how on earth am I going to get her to lose a quarter of her body weight, when she would rather watch toy mice fly over head than chase them, and has been on diet food for the last 2 years with no effect. Hmmm, I am going to start the research process.
