  1. LMAO Melon's name is 100% accurate……….. he looks like a melon pit! (if he was red he'd look like real melon, or green?) So cute……….. also the meme is #1 or #3 but I wannna go for #1 as it sounded funnier.

  2. I think it's more like a ,"mooooom", like a kid embarrassed over what she just said to the world, Like mom, really?, I can't believe you just called me that

  4. my 2 year old cat Baby has the head size of an 8 month old but her body has gone from sausage shaped to football shaped and now she's kinda… sweet potato shaped. I think being rescued from starvation made it really hard to get rid of food anxiety and now that she's been a kept cat long enough to feel secure, it's boredom. I'm gonna get a really nice puzzle feeder and stop free-feeding soon, so she can keep entertained and not hungry in between those timed meals. plus, i wanna put her on a more appropriate food. the dechonkification is imminent!

    She's my sun moon and stars so I want her to live a good long life!

  5. I thought dry food good for their teeth I feed my cat science diet my cat over weight since I brought him from the shelter .now I don't leave out food all day now

  6. "Human pez dispenser" lol. I've been breaking treats in half and tossing a piece up stairs or across the floor so they get physical and mental stimulation. Will look for meat treats! Do you have any favorite brands? 💜

  7. My chonk is on weight loss food (kibble, let me know if there's any wet food thats NOT twice as much as kibble), he gets the recommended daily amount, but given all at once in the morning. He doesn't eat all at once and is really good about making it last until bedtime. Is that free feeding if its controlled portion sized? Would it change anything at all to break it up and give some in the morning and some at bedtime?

  10. Luckily I don't have an overweight cat problem. Did have a problem though getting my formerly free kibble fed cat (of 10 years by previous owners) onto timed meals. I found she both drove me crazy overnight for food and would have hunger pukes. Finally just started to put freeze-dried raw nibs into a puzzle toy for her to graze on over night. Solved both problems. Hardest problem for me though has been to let go of the worry about how much she's eating when. As long as she's a healthy weight and is in fact eating it's not the end of the world if she only eats half a meal every now and then. It scared me when she went from 8lbs when I got her to 6.25lbs but the vet assures me she's still at a good weight, just more on the lithe side which is better for an older cat. She just felt so skinny it worried me at first because she's my first cat. All tests came back fine though and a year later she's steady at this weight and doing well.

  12. We adopted an 8yr old cat that is overweight. It has been really hard to get him to lose weight even though we are feeding the correct dose of food for months now. We think in large part it is due to him not wanting to play or be active. Our casual attempts at getting him to lose weight haven't worked all that well, so now we need to go for more desperate, serious measures!! We never would have allowed our kitty to get this big if we would have had him the first 8yrs of his life, because as everyone knows, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"!

  13. OMG… My cat wacks me too. If I ignore him he gets louder and more insistent. He even gets mad sometimes.

  14. Even wet cat food has rice and fillers in it. Is there a brand of wet cat food that is all meat?

  15. I have a cat who use to weigh 23lbs. Now he weighs 16lbs and now he has a huge flap of skin where his big belly was.

  17. Love your video's! We fostered a mom cat and her two babies then we adopted them. They have been with us for 7 months and in the past 6 weeks one of the "kittens" has become food obsessed. He will do anything to get food. We have to hide everything because if its outside of a cabinet he's trying to get into it. A loaf of bread doesn't stand a chance! When we open the canned food he continually jumps on the counter while we are trying to dish it out and and won't stop no matter how many times we put him back on the floor. He has been checked by the vet, everything is ok. We feed them only wet food and feed them at 6am and 5 pm in separate rooms. Treats are limited to a few at bed time. He has gone into the trash, jumps into the sink looking for food ,shreds paper and bags. I just bought a "slow down" dish for him and he knocks it over and it doesn't seem to have slowed him down. Other then this he is a total love bug. I'm not sure how to stop this behavior. We feel it started just as we were leaving for a three week trip. We had a friend staying at our house to cat sit. The only thing different was she worked 8-5 and I am retired and was home with them all day. Could this have caused the problem?

  19. My roommate said I was fatphobic to the cat when I said "she's doing her best to lose weight." The cat wants to play and move but can't stand for more than 3secs with out having to lay down with shakey legs and is falling under her weight plus she can't even breath or purr properly. The roommate is a feeder and claimed nothing is wrong and her shape is perfectly fine, such delusion is harmful and neglectful. Roommate has 2 cats the obese and smaller cat but both get sick frequently so something is clearly wrong but claimed is completely regular… No it's not. I myself have an eating disorder bing eating and bulimia, so her comment pissed me the hell off.
