Fat (Cat) Farm

Thought I'd give you an update on how Hunter is doing on his new diet.  It's been one week now and he weighed in on Monday at 17.2 pounds.  He was 19 pounds when we began the Science Diet RD.  So he's already lost almost 2 pounds!  What's interesting is I measure out his daily allotment and feed it to him in the morning and evening and he rarely finishes what I give him.  I think after all those years of grazing, he really doesn't understand to stay and eat what he's given.  The complaining has stopped so I think we are getting a good routine down.  This special food is supposed to help him "feel full" so he doesn't seem too upset about the changes now that he's getting used to the food not always being there.  Here's a photo of Hunter.  This was when he was merely fluffy and not fat so this is his goal!

  

So many of our shows are wrapping up.  Sunday night was the finale of Survivor and Kim, the bridal shop owner, was a very deserving winner.  I was really surprised by Kat who gave a mature and intelligent speech about forgiveness at the final tribal council.  I predicted that there would be a Survivor where they would bring back previous players who had to leave the game unexpectedly and that's what they are doing in the next one:  Survivor Philippines.  I knew they would want to get Colton, who departed early due to appendicitis, back into the game.  He was just too much of a lightning rod to not try and get him back on the show.  I still need to see the 2 hour series finale of Desperate Housewives and it's getting close to the finales of Dancing with the Stars and American Idol!
