Hemingway, I like having carburetors in my meals.
What on earth are you talking about, Steinbeck?
Well, remember when you had to go to the doctor’s house a little while ago?
Of course I remember. I got a shot!
Yes, but you also got on that thing that tells the doctor how much we weigh.
I had no choice. She made me do it.
Yes, but you’re way too chunky now and Mom said we can’t have that many carburetors in our meals now. Besides, we don’t get our crunchy food now. I like the canned food, but once the gravy is all licked off, I’m left with yuk!
I know what you mean. I like the gravy but I have to be really hungry to eat the rest of that stuff. I want our crunchy stuff back. But Mom’s not making us cut back on carburetors. We’re cutting back on carbs.
Well, if you didn’t weigh 23 1/2 pounds, we could have crunchy stuff with all those carb things!
Oh sure, blame it all on me. Seems the doctor lady said you were a little too chunky for your own good, too.
Do you think the outdoor cat can order some food for us?
He looks like he’s on Mom’s side so he probably won’t do it.
Fine! I’ll just chew on my carrot and pretend it’s crunchy good stuff with carbs.

Oh boys…you both do look a little broad in the beam…just like our Cooper Murphy and a couple of our girls. Wow…23 1/2 pounds is a bit hefty though. Sorry you have to give up your crunchy food. Besides, we know a lot of that weight is your gorgeous long furs. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
Well, Mom thinks I’m part Maine Coon ‘cuz I have a very big body. She thinks Steinbeck is just right but the doc says he could lose a pound. We both agree that lots of the weight comes from all our furs. Thanks!!!

No way do you weigh 23 pounds, the doctor must have leaned on the scale.
That’s what I think, too. Besides, I have big bones. MOL!!!
Chunky purrs………..Hemingway
hahaha…carbs. Let’s call them something else. I wanna keep mine.
Shoko
Right, Shoko! Don’t tell Mom but we’re actually getting to like some of the new wet food. At least she still gives us some crunchy treats at night before we all go to bed.

We are so strictly portion controlled here that we never have to worry about that scale thing!
You’re lucky, Summer.

OMGoodness, kitties! 23.5 pounds?? You weigh the same weight as ME! And I’m a doggy. Mom puts me on treat restriction if I reach 24. Whew. Here’s to many carburetors in your future. ….and many treats in mine…
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Well, Mom always says that the two of us are more like dogs than cats. MOL!!

You boys both look sweet to us ! As your diet goes on the stuff under the gravy will begin to taste better – as Garfield says : “Everything tastes good on a diet !”
Well, Garfield’a pretty smart so I guess we’ll trust him.
Chubby purrs…………Hemingway and Steinbeck
Yeah, we hate that evil D word.
Humans should take it out of their book of words.

That doctor has to be wrong! Pretty soon we won’t be having much carburetors in our food, either. Lexy is a little, umm, chunky.
Oh boy…….eat those carburetors while you can!
Chunky purrs……….Hemingway and Steinbeck
Come over here and get some crunhies! I have Beyond!
Thanks, Quinn! Mom……open the door, we’re going to get some crunchies!
Stereo purrs………Hemingway and Steinbeck
Why is it that all the best stuff is full of carbs? Hey, maybe some tuna!
Funny………Mom asks the same thing! All of us like tuna and Mom does give us “tuna water” when she makes tuna salad.
Stereo purrs……….Hemingway and Steinbeck
Lexi loved tuna water on her food, too.
It’s good stuff!

We do get some crunchy treats before we go to bed and we’re actually starting to like the canned food. Mom gets us all sorts of flavors.
Stereo purrs……….Hemingway and Steinbeck
When I first moved in with my mommy I only would eat dry food. But she tried different kinds of canned food with me. When her two former kitties lived with her they would only eat Friskies chunks or shreds with a little bit of kibble. Me – I only like Pate but still like some kibble. She gives me Friskies Pate with the flavors I like (that week – I change my mind on flavors a lot but it has to be Pate) plus some Abound dry food which is supposed to be grain free.
I am keeping my perfect soft, cuddly weight (but not too cuddly) perfectly. I only eat about 3/4 of a small can per day plus some Abound dry food. It’s working for me but I am only about a year old. The combination of Pate and crunches leaves me with a soft luxurious coat and the perfect weight for my size.

Mom says we are both doing good on the soft food. We get crunch treats so that makes us happy. She said both of us seem to have more energy now.
Stereo purrs……….Hemingway and Steinbeck
gah! No crunchies, that’s a drag. But it’s best to be healthy so you can live a long and strong life! 23 lbs is a pretty big kitty 😀 x Boomdee
In my defense, the vet thinks I have some Maine Coon in me ‘cuz my whole body is very big. Mom thinks I’ve lost some weight eating the wet food ‘cuz I have more energy now and do more jumping.
Skinny purrs…………..Hemingway 🙂
LOL….”skinny purrs”….you’re so fun! I need to lose some fussinest and eat less crunchies too! Good luck to us both, I’ll REALLY need it…MOL ! xo
Mom says she needs to stay away from the crunchies but we don’t see her doing that. MOL!
