the day...

Carly came out of her bedroom at 10.29am... Asking for food, no surprise there. She is being switched to the low fat Eagle brand kitty food.

She has gained weight, it's our fault as we tend to give her human food sometimes. It's really hard to say no to her but the vet has told her not to give her any human food. As it's not good for them.

I tend to give her cheetos which she loves and when I told the vet. She sorta laughed and then turned to me a bit seriously and said if you wish your cat to be obessed then keep feeding her empty calories. You are doing more harm then good to her.

Now the consequences are showing on poor Carly. She looks a bit fat and now that she has gotten shaved her skin is like hanging! Kind of like a Shar-Pei. We tend to laugh at her and well she sorta is shy around us now. She seems a bit upset at us.

Her attitude of when she got her first shave is way different. She was so assertive and came to us and kept meowing. It was like someone else had taken possession of our kitty. We loved it.

Now she is not doing that? I wonder. Is it because she has gained weight and we have sorta laughed at her? The groomer told us not to laugh or say mean things about her being shaved and all that. As cats tend to feel the emotions that you are giving out, like a 6th sense that they have. Maybe she's feeling those vibes? Poor baby!

We are trying to stop giving out those emotions and keep encouraging her and giving her compliments as to not get her depressed or anything like that. But B-G, sometimes laughs at her and I try to encourage him not to! He's like 'she knows we love her! It's just that she looks so wrinkly, its funny, tell me its not funny, cuz I know you know that it is!'

Ok so it is but still...
