Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2004Take a look at my kitties!
I just uploaded a bunch of pictures of my cats to yahoo. Any comments on Felix's and Oscar's weight will be appreciated!

Any comments on > Felix's and Oscar's weight will be appreciated! Thanks > Judy F > http://photos.yahoo.com/catstoy28 It's hard to say without seeing the cats in "person", or without some other photos, but I don't think they're overweight from what I'm seeing in those pictures. If they were to gain weight, then perhaps, but as they currently appear, I *definitely* wouldn't call them "enormous", as your vet referenced their weights to be. I think I'd get the opinion of another veterinarian if I were you. Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. I think you're right!

They didn't look huge to me, either. I'd go by how they feel. Can you feel their ribs? You should be able to get a gentle feel for them when you run your fingers down the side of their chests, but not too clearly. How about their vertebrae? Can you feel them but not clearly articulated? Especially with Felix's beautiful long fur, it's hard to tell anything by looking alone. Priscilla Thanks for checking them out! I can feel Oscar (black one) and Jessie (grey one), but not Felix (Long Hair) 's ribs! I'm not too worried yet, but if they keep growing at the rate they're going....

Funny, I was going to say that the white one looked a bit heavy to me, too. :-) Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. Sadly, Kimba (the white cat) died 2 years ago of complications of IBD. We adopted him when he was a year old. His family (the shelter told me the husband was crying when he gave him up...) "had" to get rid of him because they were having a baby or something. When we finally got him he was living in the basement of the shelter with the other "unadoptable" cats. He was always very aggressive to non family members (not to us, except when he slept on my pillow and insisted on having his paw over my head or arm- always on top...). He terrorized anyone who he didn't know( one electrician refused to come back) .... and he ate non-stop. All of this, I think was related to that early abandonment of someone he had a strong bond with. I'm sure the stress and overeating contributed to his death. He had an endoscopy, to confirm the disease, and was being treated, but he just went downhill despite all our efforts, stopped eating and eventually died way too young at only 8 years old. He was a wonderful guy, with more personality than most people. He is greatly missed. And, yes, he weighed about 18 pounds and was really overweight :)! Sorry for the length of this post, but Kimba deserved it!

I hope the shelter refused to adopt to these pigs. And we're supposed to be the "most intellectually evolved" creatures on Earth. <derisive snort> I've never met an animal I didn't like (even my parents' big fat rat bastard snowshoe Siamese basketball who can't decide if he loves me or hates me), but I've met a whole lot of a.shole people.

How sad. The shelter was in a lousy position and did the best thing, IMO. I can't fathom surrendering a pet because it was "too old". Awful.

Sorry for the length of this post, but Kimba > deserved it! My Alex (the one who died in August) was left at the humane society at one year of age because his owners were *moving* and apparently never considered taking him along. I was disgusted, but their loss was my huge, wonderful gain. Alex was friendly as all get out, but he was also an aggressive bastid when the mood struck him, so I know exactly what you mean WRT kitties who strike fear into the hearts of humans. ;-) I even had a vet refuse to examine Alex unless Alex was sedated. I didn't sedate Alex, I didn't let the vet examine Alex, and I never went back to that vet. I believe that once in a while, an animal gets lucky (although it may not seem like luck initially) and is given up by a crappy owner so that s/he gets a better owner instead. Sounds like Kimba was one of those. Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. Thanks for your kind words , I think they go right back at ya! Funny, when you told the story about Alex and the vet who wanted to sedate him I remembered that Kimba was quite a handful at the vet too! Once he refused to come out of the carrier and they actually had to unscrew the top to get at him. The whole exam was done with him under a blanket, yowling as if the vet was killing him. Everyone stared at us when we walked out of the examining room. heheheheh ;) Judy F > circa Mon, 19 Jan 2004 13:54:57 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, > Judy F (xphile01@catlover.com) said, [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > Laura circa Mon, 19 Jan 2004 20:01:56 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Judy F (xphile01@catlover.com) said, > Funny, when > you told the story about Alex and the vet who wanted to sedate him I [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > was killing him.

It's probably the "I'm not fat but other people's eyes are big" club. Or the "Who the hell cares if I'm fat, just give me more food" club. I think Kitty really belongs to the latter. Sometimes I call her "Fatso catso" or "chub chub". She doesn't seem to mind, but she could be harbouring some ill-will towards me and will one day claw me to death and eat my remains.

Not only has her shedding decreased, but her excrements don't smell much at all (she did go through a transition period where her urine was very stinky, though!). She also seems to have a lot more energy now, but that could be due to a slight weight loss (although she seems even more energetic now that she was when she was at an ideal weight).
