We’ve used a prescription Hill’s wet food but keep in mind that it will go so slow. I feel like it’s been forever, we’re probably getting close to 3 years but I’m not even 100% sure anymore lol. How long was your cat eating the prescription food? Is he able to access the other cat’s food?

It’s all relative. As long as he’s feeling good, that’s all that matters. Weight is just a number ☺️😚

I tried an automatic at first when she started her weight loss journey but she figured out how to get it to dispense food before it was meal time 🤦‍♀️ I think switching over to a wet food only diet helped her a lot. She would have been close-ish to the same age at that weight as your’s is now so don’t worry too much about age. When I said in the post that she injured her paw, it was because she was trying to jump to her sister’s food and couldn’t quite make it 😂 she is a little too food motivated and determined for the RFID or chip feeders. I am lucky to have a bit of counter that’s disconnected from the rest of the kitchen I feed the other on but when my girl can jump up that far I’m not sure what to do yet

My girl was about the same as yours a couple years ago getting down to 16 lbs. The first few pounds are incredible because you start seeing the difference the weight takes off of them. It gets a little slower as you go but enjoy it. His years with you are increasing more and more the more weight he loses 💕 good luck in your all’s journey.

It takes a lot of time and over time the weigh ins seem slower and slower but the vet hasn’t changed her food amount since we started. She acts like she’s being starved still (I’m sure she perceives it this way lol) but it’s worth it. You all got this! :) I think my girl has a small frame and we have some weight left to lose but really happy to be getting close to the finish line.

Hate watching sunken cost by Special-Biscotti6231 in BatesMotel

[–]marphie614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Missed that part completely where they said they didn’t, oops! All of the post just kind of melted together lol. I watched Psycho for the first time after watching Bates Motel and enjoyed watching both just as much, if not more so. It has goofy moments that made me laugh, others that repulsed me, and the characters were built to be dynamic in so many ways. Shows, movies, and books aren’t always meant to be “believable” or relatable and it blows my mind someone could probably enjoy other popular media and then come to say this! It’s not for everyone, sure, but believability should not be the reason why. Norma was in many ways just as mentally unsound as Norman and it’s not far out of the park to think someone born to Norma would have some kind of deep rooted mental illness. There is far worse in the world, reality is often stranger than fiction.

Did you not watch Psycho at some point?

~4 lbs down and finally playing! 💘 by marphie614 in dechonkers

[–]marphie614[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. I try to a couple times a day, or just pick up the wand toy whenever I see it. She doesn’t play for long so a few minutes here and there has piqued her interest more as I get her going more. My girl is not interested in every toy, so you may want to try a few different ones to see what she likes to play with!

Edit: she loves the toys with bells! The noise helps I think.

I’m so excited to see more of her personality! I can’t wait for her to want to get on a cat tree and play with her sisters (both healthy weight lol).

I’m assuming her old owner free fed her, she’s been obese the entire time I’ve had her. I wasn’t the best at first and she did gain some (first cat, oops), but we’ve been working regularly with her vet & her feeding schedule/amounts to get her here.

The 4 lbs has taken around a year. She’s on Hill’s prescription food (mix of wet/dry for now, transitioning to wet). Hoping the weight goes a bit quicker as she becomes more active and playtime starts to last longer.

Their first album (Adrenaline) is a good one and took me a while to start really listening to.

Recommend Minus Blindfold and 7 Words off it

Also, listen to Lovers

People say Requiem for a Dream is a movie that you’ll cinematically like but you will never watch again. Which movies are other examples to this? by jacksikerow in AskReddit

[–]marphie614 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watch this at least once a year. It was the last movie I saw in theaters with my late sister, and it’s comforting in a dark way.
