At our house, it's day 2 of Junior's diet. He is not at all pleased with us.

Do you put him on a scale? Once upon a time, our 25#+ shop cat started identifying being weighed to being put on a diet and would run like hell whenever we brought the package scale out.

Technically though, 25# wasn't that far overweight for Sisko's breed and length.

He was weighed at the vet. He's always been about 18/19 pounds--he's a big kitty; Maine Coons are broad and tall. But we changed his diet from canned to dry food last winter because he wasn't eating his food. Well, he weighed in at 22 pounds! Yikes. The vet says he should be 18 pounds. She wanted us to get prescription food ($80s a bag!) but as I'm barely working at all, it was WAY too expensive. She found me a much cheaper alternative I can buy retail---so Junior is getting one small can of wet food for breakfast and supper, and a small scoop (less than a 1/4 of cup) of low-carb dry food when we put him in his room for the night. And NO snacks. I'm terrible about letting him have scraps, lick the yogurt lids, etc. No more.

Well, he's a cat, sometimes "not at all pleased with us" seems to be their factory default state...

Good luck with the diet, though. I've had to do the same with cats I've had in the past. Hopefully it works to get him down to where the vet wants him to be.

Had a relative who had a dog that was dumb as a post that did that above, only the loud sound of a BONK could be heard as he smashes his head into the couch but continued under it.

Our bulldogs were repeatedly surprised they didn’t fit under the couch. They were awesome but not the sharpest tools in the shed.

I must admit I felt a little nervous for the puppies!

Sophie has really been warming up to me lately and almost always comes running to me when I come in the door now if she's not sleeping.

She's such a sweet little girl! She always has been but was reluctant to get to know anyone but my housemate.

Meet Minger who belongs to my wife's adoptive grandmother. He's about 6 months old and like many Siamese thinks his shit don't stink

Was originally going to be named Ming (in honour of his predecessor who sadly died in a house fire a few years back) but then it was discovered Ming had a thing hence the name change

Beautiful! Er--handsome!

Ming can be a guy's name, too. Ever heard of Ming the Merciless?

And of course, his shit don't stink!
