Fat Cat

Yes, it is!

Hitler site is funny - We had our own, a kitten we called Adolf...

Don`t blame her for not liking Lactulose, it`s YUKKY!!

thanks phoenix, i will try it, it cant taste anymore unpleasant than having your food covered in sugary medicine! she,s still unwell today, its looking like another expensive trip to the vets.

How about a few drops of cod liver oil in her food?

help cat lovers, my rescue cat " pudding " eats very little but suffers from constipation! we have done adding bran to food, and paying exorbinant vets prices for " lactolose" to add to food. these methods have stopped being affective and poor pudding hasnt eaten for two days, she needs to bring it up , so to speak! anyone got any other tips!

Hmmm, all these problem cats are male, whereas my beautiful lady cat is purrfect. She is a Master cat who runs rings round the dopey tom next door...possibly then should be a misress. She is a bit wimpy though I'll admit, any suggestion of damp on her paws and she will not leave the house. She watches her weight and is sleek and toned. Wish the same could be said for me

Aw, Digby`s lovely, what gorgeous cats you have Phoenix. Hummingbird, will look forward to pics of George. Our Mia will allow herself to be picked up, but as soon as we loosen our grip, she`s off! Definitely not a cuddle cat, but lovely just the same..............as long as you leave her belly and tail alone!!

I bet he's lovely of an evening when he's curled up warm and cozy on your lap. Who needs a hot water bottle with that fantastic furry feline.

Hands off MiceElf ! He is such a lovely chap, a bit dim, a bit clumsy, but lovely just the same! He came from Cats Protection a few months ago.

By the way, that picture is what passes as an action shot where Digby is concerned. The qualifying criteria is that he is actually awake. I might have a go at putting another one up.

Digby's is gorgeous. I might catnap him.

Your Digby looks like my cat from years ago, phoenix....and his name was Spider!

My George is also a big boy - he weighed 6k at his last check up! He's a terrible grump, who will only tolerate petting as long as you don't stray further down his body than the back of his neck. You meddle with him at your peril, and the vet still has the scars to prove it! I love him, though - I'll try to post his picture - not sure if my skills are up to that, though!

Jodi there should now be a picture on my profile page of Digby after his successful battle against the spider in the bath.

phoenix, I just looked at the cats which look like Hitler. Not a great look, but funny!

phoenix - now there's a subject for a children's book!

A friend of mine had this with a cat, She was getting nagged by the vet regularly as the cat went on getting fatter. The friend eventually discovered that the cat was helping itself to the large sacks of cat food stored in the shed after tearing open the packaging.

I often wonder if cats have their own names, if you know what I mean? Sort of "Hello, my people call me Fluffy, but I am Voltirio, slayer of a thousand voles"

He's called Stalin because he's a dictator, gets his own way and has left a trail of dead rats and mice in his wake. He's a handsome boy though.

Stalin ? I know there is a whole website devoted to cats that look like Hitler, but...................

Maybe, but.....my neighbour has six cats who are supposed to stay in their own territory. She feeds them on a fancy vet biscuit. We have a cat flap with a magnet. Every so often I was puzzled as to why my pussy's bones and meat had gone AWOL. Until I crept down one morning and found Stalin stuffing himself with pussy's dinner and my puss crying helplessly. The old devil had us all fooled and worked out how to master the magnets.

I'm certain that Digby isn't eating anywhere else, we live in a cul de sac of 7 houses, with more cats than people, and I would have been told if he was dining out! Our Maurice used to bring his friend Fluff Gordon from next door round for a quick snack. Dear old Fluff is dead now, Maurice tries to persuade Toffee to come in, but Toffee is having none of it!

Yes, and being such a charmer, he gets dinner at every house too. When he was finally outed and his diet restricted he got thinner, but I felt so sorry that his fun was spoilt.

Ah, is that the one about a cat who "lives" at multiple houses, and ends up being taken to the vets by all and sundry?

Phoenix, I think the answer to Digby's weight might be found in a wonderful book called Six Dinner Sid. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a wonderful story about a puss with a similar problem.

I took some photos of him in the bath, must ask Mr P if he can help me upload them.

Jodi , I'm a cat and a dog person! Just don't have a dog at present.

Digby takes himself for walks, chases leaves, plays chasing games with the other cats etc, so other than trying to restrict his biscuit rations, not sure what I can do.
