Okay, that's unfair to the cat -

But I have to cave and admit to some schaudenfreude at my cat's expense.

The one that cost us $70 at the vet last pay period only to be told she was too fat to clean her own butt. (We hadn't actually seen this in practice, just noticed she had a stinky, messy behind.)

Well, we saw it last night.

Damn cat rolled around like a roly-poly Weeble, maybe hitting the mark a few times. Not for lack of trying, y'understand!

Poor thing was so confused.

They are SO not getting any more gushy food for the forseeable. I can see I'm going to be measuring progress by how much bottom she can reach.

Forgot to add, our cats eat dry food only. Wet food not only adds to the weight issue, but does really bad things to their teeth. I've had no fewer than 3 vets recommend staying away from wet food. Also, since Oliver has had a history of being blocked, we have to stay off the wet stuff.

We've stopped buying the wet stuff entirely - I may keep a can of sardines on hand for special occasions (pills, probably), but that's it. IT.
