Freddy

Bags and boxed moonbeam loves trying to straighten the sides of boxes by taking lumps out of them with his teeth he doesn't eat it he just spits it out all around the place

Lovely pic of June spider. My Blackberry makes teeth marks on cardboard boxes.

Yes, Willow would rather make teeth marks on me!

Luckily none of mine have had either habit spider & lotsofcats.

Wait for it, hope that won't be a case of famous last words!!!!

Well I managed to get Freddy some food yesterday - I got him purfect fit senior 7+ wet food .
I had a look at petsathome but there wasn’t really any dry kibble , the problem I have is that he just swallows the kibble straight down and then it swells up in his stomach then he sicks it straight back up .
Go-cat is the only kibble he actually crunches . So I decided to get the perfect fit and then he can still have a few biscuits in a morning which he needs for his teeth.

I’m going to be honest I’m not overly concerned with Freddy’s weight because he has been bigger than what he is at the moment. And he doesn’t particularly look like he has really put on that much weight to me but I will keep my eye on him.

chantel, When Penny had to lose weight we put her on Hills Prescription Diet R/D she did not enjoy the wet it was a pate style food but the dry was fine. They then brought out the Prescription Diet Metabolic which worked better both wet & dried for her. she had to come down from 5Kg (+) to 4Kg.

When Roman did his cruciate ligament in 2016 we got a shock to find he was 6.1Kg & his normal weight was 5.6Kg max but with him we just reduced his food intake especially as he was inactive for the first weeks of his recovery from the op. (Oddly I was looking at the thread on his cruciate last night, when I was searching for the thread on Roman going missing for a day, after reading about Bella, but that must have been on the old forum as I couldn't find any mention). I noted that after 2 weeks from the op Roman had lost 0.2Kg but that I wondered how much the fur that had been shaved away weighed!!!!) Ironic that in 2020-22 I landed up having to feed him 7 pouches of cat food a day to keep his weight over 4.7Kg!!!!

Looking at photos of Freddy I can't believe he's that big a cat, I suppose I've based my image of him from that young photo that scallywag has just used for her painting!
