Giving the cat a run for his money (no pun intended)

[Qscout]

Having weighed our three cats in the new year and found to our amazement that the one who constantly eats has lost 0.3kg a challenge formed. My wife thought this wasnt much weight loss but after taking account of his weight we determined this was around 5% of his body weight.

The equivalent of 7 pounds for me, so the challenge was born. Can I lose 5% of my body weight by the end of February. So consistent running, cutting snacking, and healthy lunches here we come.

Bring it on.

Sounds like a good challenge, go you!

Maybe the cat needs a checkup?

Cat will get his annual check soon. He is a big boy, his weight loss is welcome news. We have reduced his food but he didn't seem to be losing weight.

That sounds good too Our older cat has been getting a bit chubby, we're working on her - it's tricky isn't it!

We think our boy is visiting all the neighbours and getting his meals upgraded!

Gotta love cats 😄

Yup. At least one of ours does the same. Oddly, the one we know goes elsewhere is the smaller; Fatso must surely have another source of food, but not the immediate neighbours.

And yes, I'm aware of the hypocrisy of me calling him names!
