I've learned a lot since putting my cats on a diet. First off, I now know just how easy it is to get an animal to diet (provided you don't mind their 3 a.m. renewed bursts of energy). But I'm also finding out there's a lot of great info out there. Between my own searches and e-mails from friends who've been following the saga, I've got a whole little library going.
