Prince Chunk the fat cat…will be saved!
I read of lot of news feeds that have been tagged with “weight loss” or “exercise”. And I’ve read a lot of related studies as well, but I also like to see how those studies are turned around and changed.
This post, however, is not about studies.
Left and right I have seen report after report about a particular fat cat, aptly named Prince Chunk (see below).
You can read the full news story here.
Okay, now I love the kitties, so this isn’t hate to the kitties. And to the fat cat I am very happy for you, but what about the starved cats that I see everyday?
This report below was released today and I just had to die from laughing.
The big cat doesn’t have a thyroid condition, after all. The vet also has prescribed a high-protein diet for the tubby tabby, who is within three pounds of the heaviest on record.
It looks like the veterinarians get it better than our regular doctors. And from experience, I can tell you Pet Insurance is WAY better than human insurance.
So next time a client asks for a referral I am sending them to Southwoods Animal Hospital.
Oh, there is a second part to this post, so this is only the beginning…

Wow! And we thought our 19 lb cat was fat! (Though the vet told us last week that he’s really just a large cat…hmmm not so sure I’m buying that!) Maybe I should put him on FLTS! lol

I had to laugh! I’ve got two cats on calorie restriction and then one who is leaner than lean and you can feel every bone. And she likes being that way apparently. She eats small meals often. Really small meals. Sometimes only 4-5 kibbles at a time. Really often. And she wants a “royal boost” to the fireplace mantel and her bowl every time. I suppose I get some calorie burn out of it, LOL!
I will say this… both our overweight cats are VERY strong and muscular. Tablet would be a kitty bodybuilder or powerlifter if he could. He does a kind of extreme kneading that looks like he is trying to do squats. We hope Luna is not secretly on steroids. She has aggression and anger management issues, LOL!
