Let's Try This Again

It's really challenging to lose weight. It's even more challenging to get someone else to do it - especially someone with fur.

Jake is a twenty-something pound cat. He's large and intimidating, doesn't like men, bites and insists on sitting in your lap. A few months back, he and I had a discussion about our weight. We made a pact to do it together. I took him to the vet for a check up. He passed with flying colors and we were on our way home with a big bag of "diet" food.

The new food was a hit and there were no litter box issues. A few weeks passed and Jake started to look a bit slimmer. Then the holidays hit...and Jake, like the rest of us overindulged in carbs and goodies. The photo above is Jake after he'd had just a wee bit too much holiday!

So we will start again in January...to eat a little less and move a little more!
