Polly Speaks in Tongues!

Polly's Weight: 12.9lbs! Hurray! Back under 13. 

If anyone knows how hard it is to diet and lose weight can understand the ups and downs of shedding those unhealthy extra pounds. We are in this for the long run, we want this cutie cat around for a long time. 

We also discovered Polly's secret spot. You know how talkative she can be, well watch this. It sounds like she's possessed. 

Our good friend Ron over at Nature's Variety sent us a bag of food to help in our weight loss regiment. It's kibble, but it also has some freeze dried raw bites in there as well. It's already a really good quality kibble, but that extra boost of freeze dried raw is a treat. 

We've been using the Healthy Weight food as her afternoon snack. We put it in a toy that helps her be active. 

For now, Pollycakes is happy. And so far, we have been able to keep away from eating more dog food. 

The little monkey. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Back to the Future!

Heeeerreeeee's Polly! 

Normally she's super cute. When she's peering at you through a crack in the kitchen door while you're making her food, you do feel a tingle down your spine. 

From our last post you heard about her adventures in thievery. The opened bags, there were multiple. The animal shelters around here are definitely cheering Pollycakes on. 

This was her after being confined for her transgressions. 

She did not take it standing up. It was a nuclear meltdown, there was crying, lashing out, spitting, hissing, clawing. We're kidding of course. She was her talkative self again. She reminded us every hour on the hour that dinner/snack/tea/elevensies/twelvsies time was near. If you weren't making my food, you better be at least thinking about it. 

Otherwise, this is what she does. Sulks. 

But we love her to death. She is a sweet cat. She loves to be held and hugged. She likes to be close by hanging out while working.

Weight wise, she was down to 12.6 at one point, ballooned back up to 13.6 her starting weight, and now is down to 13.1.

We love her, but these photos can't happen.

And no, it's not just a bad angle. 

Until next time!

Sneaky Little Devil

We have been hoodwinked! 

Bamboozled, confuzzeled, made a fool of. 

Pollycakes has GAINED weight. Which is the opposite of what we're trying to do. We thought it might be one of two things. We recently switched to feeding her 3 times a day, much to Polly's delight. We figured we must not be measuring out the correct amount and feeding too many big portions. OR, she's been sneaking food somewhere. 

EXHIBIT A!

EXHIBIT B!

Do you see the smug look on her face? We were starting to wonder why she wasn't her usual talkative self after her play session. Well, because of her indiscretions. She is back to her starting weight. 

DOH! DOUGH! DOUGHBALL!

Sadly for the Cakes, this looks like she's going to have to be confined during night hours. 

But, who can resist this face? Not many. We'll be strong for her, because we want her to be healthy and  happy. Right now, she's really happy. 

Back to the drawing board. Starting weight AGAIN, 13.6 pounds.
