Monthly update on Philly’s diet

This past month was impressive. The vet told us that his weight loss would be slow initially and then pick up…man, was she right!!! He started at 24lbs when he came to stay with us and in my last post about his diet he had lost only one pound. We decided that today would be a good “weigh-day”.

He is struggling still with the whole paper issue…ie: the pictures and has figured out how to get the lid off of our cat’s food storage container. We’ve used this same container for the past decade and have NEVER had any cat get the lid off but I guess if one is hungry enough…one will succeed. We now need to store the entire container away in a cupboard.

Notice him licking his lips...

I feel like we need to help him celebrate or something because he is now at 19lbs. Yep..he has lost 5lbs!!! I mean, geesh..that is 20% of his body weight…

I am just glad that the expensive food the vet is having us buy ($50 a bag) is finally paying off. Only 10 more pounds to go, big guy…
