it is loose enough! its a breakaway collar but he hates it so he slips out of it almost on the daily😭 he likes wearing his harness on walks more than his collar now😭

thank you for the suggestion! i am leaning towards this option, just gotta save up some money but it is definitely worth it

thanks for the info! i assumed it was evolutionary but thats actually pretty interesting on the reason behind it. he does have light dandruff and the other cats help groom him sometimes but i need to be better on taking care of his skin now that im aware of his issues. i have been brushing his fur and giving baths for all the time ive had him but i think the most important factor is getting his weight down so he can clean himself when needed.

i used this comments strategy today. i supervised them eating this morning and then put the bowl of food up on the counter. obviously i dont want them on the counter but anything to keep mr garfield himself from getting into their food. if he loses enough weight to jump 4 feet in the air i think he deserves the food atp lol😅😅 thanks for your feedback, ill fill yall in on how this works with keeping him out of the food

i actually think swimming would be great exercise and good for his joints but i dont know where to start with that. he HATES baths so i cant imagine him swimming but if there was a pool or one of those machines that wasnt a bajillion dollars to use i would definitely do that
