DeeDee & Tino the cats funny picture

Laura Gilbert

Wherein I try to get my pets to a healthy cat weight. Catch up on past posts here.

The cats have been dieting for over a month, which is a quite a milestone for them. They celebrated this week with another milestone: Tino (I'm assuming) caught his first mouse. He alerted me to this by placing his prize in the doorway to my bedroom, which I suppose is better than if he'd brought it to me in bed.

I have several theories about the timing of this. Let me know what you think:

1. My previously spoiled pets were so starving on their new canned-food diet that they were forced to turn to the wild to eat. Sad stuff.

2. The somewhat skinnified cats now have the energy to play and pounce on things that they otherwise would have let walk all over them. DeeDee's shed approximately 0.4 pounds, while Tino is down a whole pound -- the equivalent of almost nine human pounds!

3. The unfortunate rodent was woozy and disoriented on its own and wandered into my room, where DeeDee unwittingly laid down on top of it.

I can't wait to see what other firsts these guys achieve on their way to becoming slim kitties.

Week 5
DeeDee: 18.8 pounds
Tino: 17.4 pounds

I can't believe how well this is going. Yay DeeDee and Tino! I think the mouse sacrifice was due to new found energy. I mean, why bother kicking a ball around if you're super full on potato chips? But if you're munching on carrots and nuts, you're much more apt to go out and do some cardio. Give DeeDee and Tino a high-paw for me!
