Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Pearl's big day at TED
Went for the annual check up. Actually, it's been about 1.5 years since she was there. Ummmmm. Well, Pearl's gained a little weight. We weighed her and my vet's eyes popped open and she looked at me and said, "Life is very VERY good at Karen's house." Then I got a lecture. Pearl used to weight 9.7 lbs. Now she weighs 12.5 lbs. I knew she had gained but not THAT much!! She goes and cleans up what ever is left on the other plates. So, I guess I will just have to pick up dishes when the others get done. Sugar and Grant NEVER go back for snackies so it's not as if they will care. I have been a naughty meowmie. On the behaviour end, my goodness, Pearl can swear like a sailor. She did not enjoy the trip at all. Especially did not like being palpitated. She growled, hissed and swore the whole time with ears flat. Though my vet says she sees much worse, it seems like very bad behaviour compared to Grant and Sugar who just sit quietly wide eyed and tucked in. At least she does not need anals checked (no one expresses more easily than my girl Pearl). She was very happy to go home. Poor Pearl and meowmie! Hope you both are recovering from the vet visit!

Nikki knows some Big Bad words for such a small cat, too. Luckily, they only come out at TED's. I hope everything was OK with her, except for the weight. She won't be happy about having to lose that.

It's so easy for it to get out of hand, and you know that it is something you need to change. Heck, I can't get weight off of Bonnie because she'll only eat dry food. Sounds like she had a good checkup. I'm glad her leg is still doing well! SignatureCheryl >> Went for the annual check up. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > get weight off of Bonnie because she'll only eat dry food. Sounds like she > had a good checkup. I'm glad her leg is still doing well! She's already begun pulling the "oh..allright. I'll just chew on this really old wet food." And then she finishes her portion exageratedly chewing (literally) her food. Opies food (a dadism: OP stands for Other Peoples) tastes better. Congratulations! 12.5 doesn't sound too bad, is she small-framed? Flattening her ears and swearing! Too funny. I don't blame her.

I imagine I'll be getting the same lecture next time LB goes in. Problem is that she just "loves" Sammy's new diet, and is getting fluffier all the time, while Sammy keeps her lean figure. I've been mulling over where I could put the food bowl where Sammy can reach it, but LB can't. >On the behaviour end, my goodness, Pearl can swear like a sailor. She did >not enjoy the trip at all.

I'm betting that we'll get the same lecture the next time we have to take Tallulah to the vet. She remembers being hungry, and eats herself silly at every meal. We've started calling her Lula the Hut. ------ Krista >> Went for the annual check up. Actually, it's been about 1.5 years since she >> was there. Ummmmm. Well, Pearl's gained a little weight.

I would dearly like to boop the Hube but will refrain, as he gets lots. I'm a sucker for spotty tummies, Boyfriend has one. Talking of which, he is growing into a beautiful cat. A friend of mine described him as "rangy" a few months ago. Pffff, that was just a teenage growing into his body thing. He is thickening out and has the most lovely Cheshire Cat fat smiley face. Big round cheeks. I guess that's because he was a boy for perhaps a little too long, eh? That makes them have big faces? I'm sure I read that somewhere. Oh, btw, visited Tess the Pointer's mum & dad tonight and passed on all your prayers and purrs. They were very touched. The house seemed empty without her, even though the other two dogs were there. They are still feeling her loss very much. As they said "we saw her born" as they bred her. Tweed > Lula is beautiful and does not look one whit overweight. Heh. She is indeed beautiful, and her long fur camoflages a lot, but it's hard to hide your weight from the ones who pick you up for hugs every day. And when she lies down, she is starting to cover a *very* broad area. ;-) ------ Krista
