Problem with cat on a diet
Just been talking a friend in our street. She has an elderly cat who is overweight and has been put on a diet by the vet, since he is in danger of becoming diabetic. The special food she has to buy is jolly expensive and has to be weighed out in strict portions.
This has not led to weight loss because the next-door neighbour keeps feeding the cat. My friend has explained the situation to her 3 times and asked her pointedly to stop feeding him. The neighbour just keeps saying, "but he won't come to see me if I stop feeding him." The only solution is to keep the cat indoors, which is impossible, since he's been an outdoor cat all his life and tears the place apart if he can't get out.
I'm afraid I'd have had a major row with the neighbour in her place! How stupid, and how very selfish!
