Diets Are For The Birds...

All this time I just thought I was a "big-boned" cat and come to find out I am overweight! I had my yearly physical today and to my shock my vet placed me on a diet. Imagine??? A DIET!!! I had a panic attack when my vet broke the news that I will need to cut my meal portions to a third of what I normally eat. I kept thinking to myself, "This can't be happening...I must be dreaming or something!" I bit myself to see if I could wake up from this catmare, but to my dismay I realized I was fully awake...

I got home and was doing really well about the whole diet thing for about an hour when my stomach started demanding nourishment. I was dizzy with hunger and ready to climb the walls. There were only a few morsels of kibble in my bowl, so I did what any starved cat would do, I broke into the fridge! Desperate times call for desperate measures!!! I searched and I searched and all I could come up with were lousy nutritious veggies, YUCK! There wasn't even one morsel of leftover chicken or fish...I can tell I have a rough road ahead with this whole "diet" mumbo jumbo...

Cat-Safe Asbestos Hazard Advisory

I would like to share with all my feline friends and their owners a Cat-Safe Asbestos Hazard Advisory that was recently brought to my attention. Asbestos fibers pose a significant health threat to both cats and their owners. Asbestos is found in thousands of homes and buildings built between 1930 and 1980. Asbestos was a commonly used building material that when damaged over time can become airborne resulting in the fatal mesothelioma cancer. Both direct and second hand exposure has been proven to cause mesothelioma. Please take proper steps to protect your cats and families. Consult a certified asbestos abatement consultant when executing any home renovations that may involve asbestos. For more information visit: www.mesothelioma.com.

Insomnicat

These last few days I have been an absolute insomnicat! For the life of me I cannot seem to catnap no matter what I do, which is really beginning to ruffle my fur! I've tried everything to tire myself out- I've chased my girl Lily around the house, played with my catnip toys, scratched the couch, climbed up the curtains, and I even drank some milk, but nothing is doing the trick. Then to top it all off the lack of sleep is making me clumsy! Do you know how embarrassing it is to be a cat and not land on your paws after jumping down from a table? HELP I'm desperate to get some sleep! Any suggestions???
