Rae-Rae's Drama & Cat-tip-for-the-day =^..^= Diet tip

Rae-Rae: "Today was CATASTROPHIC! I was kidnapped from my cubby and forced into a box that smelled funny and then driven to a horrible place where these strange, cold hands poked and squeezed me until I could barely breath. I won't even tell you what he did to my privates. Then back in that box like a prisoner. I'll never recover from this." *holds her paw to her forehead*

Deb: "Rae-Rae went to the Vet today. She hung upside down in her crate and tried to chew her way out but thankfully we are only 5 minutes from the vet's office so she was not successful. Once in the examination room, she was examined very gently and her temperature was taken. By the end of it, she was lying on her back having a tummy rub and purring so loud you could have heard her in the parking-lot. She is completely shameless and is now in love with her vet."

"Now who are you going to believe?"

Cat-tip For The Day - Diet tip.

While at the vet's office I had a chance to speak to the vet about feeding cats who are in need of losing weight. I told him I had just read an article on this subject and it was recommended to feed soft food only, many times throughout the day and eliminate dry food altogether. I waited for the *gasp* when I heard him say, "That's correct. I agree 100%." He said that he owns male cats and he feeds them soft food twice daily and only a tiny bit of dry. He said that the dry food is very high in calories compared to soft and that it is sprayed with oils that contain many calories. I told him I feed mine Performatrin & Eagle Pack brands and he said both were excellent for a strictly soft food diet. So, my tubby tabby will be off dry and be fed more soft for awhile to see if the results are good. I'll keep you posted.
