you can't have everything, right? So she might get down to 15 lbs
when I cut her back to 1/8 of a cup in the evening.

It does sound like a tiny amount of food -- either that food is
incredibly dense, or Persia has a very slow metabolism (or both?).

Good luck with the new food restriction. I'm sure Persia will lay on
an incredible guilt trip.

The funny thing is, I already gave her 1/4 of a cup this morning and she
hasn't eaten half of it. But she's crying like she wants more! I think she
has a sense that I'll be cutting it back, so she's cutting it back herself
and then making a fuss about it. Yes, the guilt trip is already in force!
