my fat cat..

[sara3]

oh Colin, he is so lovely!

he's a Norwegian Forest cat, so is quite huge but he also is rather... rotund! he's about 5 now (he came from a rescue centre) and I just found a photo of when we got him 3 years ago. blimey.. he's fat now!

he really doesn't seem to eat much, quantity-wise, and he can only eat dried food (Iams) because wet food upsets his (fat) tummy.

he's also a lazy so and so, and sleeps belly up for most of the day.

any ideas to shift his fat belly?

Sara, put Colin on the Atkins diet, only feed him meat and fish.

I always thought that there was no fat cats, then I got a cat.

Frankie has been on steroids for his asthma and this makes him eat more. I picked him up last week to put him in his cat carrier (trip to the vet) and he was solid - all belly.

Maybe Colin has actually just got fluffier (like my Princess Merlin) and under all the hair lurks a slim and healthy cat.

It is sometimes a shock to realise that these animals with such huge personalities actually have rather small bodies - and big appetites.

Tie him to your whirly washing line and make him go round and round.

Good luck.

wolf, Colin is very very fluffy, but he is fat. I'll give the washing line thing a go, thanks ;o)
