Re: Hmm the diet food aint working...


Well, I am out of my house from 8 to 5.30ish, so I gave him breakfast, tea and supper, and tried not to leave any food down during the day (unless it was his breakfast that he hadn't finished)

Re: Hmm the diet food aint working...


I have a "fluffy tail" toy on a stick that my cats love pouncing on if you wiggle it on the floor. Chloe races around after it when she gets really excited and has been known to do backflips and somersaults to get it at great height!!! I know she is only one and still very playful, but if you start with a little bit of playtime and gradually build it up as he is losing weight I think this would burn a few calories!!

I agree Donna. Couldn't think of a name/description but 'fluffy tail' suits it fine. Or there's the fish or bug on a piece of string on the end of a stick (like a fishing rod) - those movements seen to be very attractive and will even tempt my old girls sometimes!

I have a similar toy, but have to say it didn't go down that well (one of the fosters just licked it!!). I had a different toy that went down so well it was ripped to shreds, but can't find a replacement - went to the pet shop I got it from and they didn't have any in.

Re: Hmm the diet food aint working...


How much does Whiskas (or any other wet food) cost in Denmark Jeanette?
I pay 46p for Whiskas (sorry can't convert that into your currency! )....

Re: Hmm the diet food aint working...


Whiskas is expenssive here. But that's not the only problem.. I dont like Whiskas.. My first cat got the runs from whiskas and all the other canned catfood products.. There's way too much water in it.. Or there were back then (11 years ago)...

Re: Hmm the diet food aint working...


Do you have supermarkets own make food over there? They are usually quite a bit cheaper and tend to be a bit drier........

Re: Hmm the diet food aint working...


We do. But I've been told, that when cats are neutered, you need to feed something specific to avoid urine infections..
