New scent

[Ino]

Apparently Ino got into something when I took him out late last night. He was sniffing on a small palm tree and when we came inside, the kitties kept sniffing him. Initially they hissed a bit so I had to get Ino to stay still until the kitties calmed down (that is what got him attacked by the kitties when he was small). The hissing didn't last long, but the peaked interest lasted a while.

That's cute.

He looks like geez enough sniffing already...

By the way, I am really not being ugly when I say WOW that's a fat cat!! I have a fatty like that, and haven't seen another so I just had to bring it up. When people see her fat butt they always seem to say "You should see so and so's cat, it is fat like that". Yet I never have, except for now.

Hop-a-long is pretty obese (15lbs on his last vet visit) !! He was supposed to be on a canned food diet, but it did not go over too well . They freak out if they do not have kibble available 24/7 (they were abused and neglected when they were young and their early food source was a dumpster in a small apt complex, so meals were not common). He actually eats less than the one with the white on him (Punkin) who used to be skinny until he got prednisone shots.Since Ino has been around, they have chilled with raiding my trash can every night, but they demand food availability. The 2 days the diet lasted, they waited on my kitchen table staring me down everytime I entered the kitchen and when I ate, they worked as a team to bum-rush my plate. When I raised my fork to my mouth, they seemed to know I had one hand left and there was 2 of them, so I could not hold them both off and they won.

Doesn't that always make you wonder what it is that smells so inviting? Cute

That poor dog! What could he have gotten into that CATS would find interesting???

Well, if it is some kind of urine, I'd rather not know!!

My guess is some kind of urine- maybe a cat or dog marked it or some kind of wild animal ??? Bad thought though, cause he jumped in my bed a little after that!!!

Cute!

Have you tried raw for them? If they are that opportunistic of eaters, you might get lucky with the switch, and you may be able to slim them down. It's hard with cats because you can't just back their food off, if they go on hunger strike it could kill them, a few skipped meals is deadly for a cat unfortunately. (fatty liver is what killed my cat Mordred)

I recently ordered their taste of the wild kibble from a lady out of orlando that delivers in my area since nobody around here carries it for cats, and she gave me a sample of Prowl (dehydrated raw). The skinnier of the two ate it, but the chubbier one wouldn't mess with it. I taste tested both with pieces of a raw chicken breast to see if they would go for it (they have always gone nuts for cooked chicken breast, so I tried that first)...again Mr Chubbs wouldn't go for it but Punkin tore it up. I am still trying to figure out the raw thing (before I commit to making the switch)because I am looking into trying it for all of them once I become re-employed. I am similar to apparently a few people here that are not big into cooking, so when they start talking about specific cuts of meat, I'm lost !!!

Hahaha awwww! Poor boy is a very good sport waiting for the kitty inspection.

On a side note: I also have a former fatty, who almost died from hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease). He is VERY picky, won't eat wet food or raw. The only way I've been able to keep his weight down is on TOTW and he can no longer free feed. He gets 1/8 cup 3x/day. He's around 13lbs now, down from almost 17lbs. I'd like him to lose a bit more, but it's hard.
