Tucker is 5 pounds lighter!

Phil says one pound a day is
optimum--eg about the most
you want your cat to lose in a month.

And is considered a good rate of slow weight loss. If you look at SACN
4th edition, the rate of safe weight loss for a cat Tucker's size is
actually higher than a pound a month, which again shows that 1 pound a
month is a nice slow rate of weight loss.

Weight loss has been discussed here many times, including what a safe
rate of weight loss is and there is no excuse for your intentional
ignorance. You posted that for no reason other than to be nasty.

I don't present myself as an expert, you
do.

Then maybe you shouldn't open your big fat uneducated mouth unless you
actually know what you're talking about. Take your own advice: "When you
learn that just saying something does not make it true, you will look
like slightly less of an ass."

It's the only mouth she has.

L,

If you read my description on the web site, you can read what happened
and what I did. I stopped feeding dry (prescription) weight loss food
and switched to Wellness canned. I purchased a digital scale to weigh
him weekly (so he wouldn't lose weight too quickly--very bad). As he
lost weight, I slowly cut back on the amount of food he got.

I learned that Tucker must have a s-l-o-w metabolism. He's eating less
than a cat his size usually would eat. I don't recommend my amounts to
everyone; it should be based on your cat's age, health, activity
levels, and of course, talking to your vet. It will be interesting to
see how he does once I up his intake of food to _maintain_ this weight.

She has admitted to hitting her cat. I criticized her for that when she
first reared her ugly head and that is what set her off to humping my
posts as though her very life depended on it. She'll probably claim she
doesn't abuse her cat now, but considering the nasty behavior and lack
of self-control she exhibits here, I wouldn't believe her for even a
millisecond.

Ok, ok - I just went to the photo gallery.

I will go read, but did you increase his activity lebel at all? I
found using the CatDancer twice daily got my boy more active and seemed
to help with the loss. But he's also 14, so I took it a bit eay on
him!

Either way, he's a handsome cat!

There now, that's better. See, there is no reason to get so
angry, old girl. We're all here to learn, after all. ;o)

It's true. I hang them by their little feetie feets and whip
them mercilessly, all the while berating them.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Ooh big deal. I use endearments like that for my overweight cat all
the time. I'm sure his slimmer sibling calls him a 'big job' as well.
