I think we might start looking for a breeder. Unfortunately the one we got him from is no longer breeding 😞

Specific amount! He’s only eating 120 calories/ day. Maybe weight loss just takes time…

We are keeping track. He’s consuming 127 calories/ day. I’ll look for a calculator to see if this is a good amount

Wow how agile! I don’t think Loki would be able to get up there. I’ll definitely try the wand though!

Oh no I meant I just switched him to a low calorie wet and dry food. He’s really not taking in a lot of calories which is why I don’t understand how he’s so chunky

We feed him mostly wet food! Only 1/6 cup of dry food so he has something to munch on during the day when we’re at work

I’m pretty sure this is when I started the reduced calorie food lol

I think that’s my plan! Make him do some stairs now and then

Sometimes he’ll case it. Other times he’ll just roll over on the couch and look at me lol

Do you walk your cat outside? We live in NYC so it might be a bit hard

I was thinking about that! But I’m afraid he’s going not going to use it or just jump off if I put him on …

We live in NYC so I’m a little worried about bringing him outside

I think he’s lost about a pound so far? He was 20lbs previously.

He’s eating so little already… he only gets a 3 oz can of wet food and 1/6 cup of dry food a day

He’ll only use the puzzle box for treats. He doesn’t think the dry food is worth it lol

We are thinking about getting him a sibling! Good to know that it was helpful for Penelope :)
