Polly Cakes, Polly Cakes, Polly all the waaaaaaayyyy!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS from P-Cakes!

The year is winding down…we can't believe it. It always does that. It just tends to sneak up on you, right? 

Pollycakes has been such a wonderful store cat. She's been making lots of friends and has tons of fans rooting for her to drop some pounds. 

As of today she is 12.9lbs! She is actually sitting right behind me counting and meowing down the time until it's dinner. But of course, first some exercise.

What is her favorite toy in the whole store? A piece of string. Silly cats. It started off as the Da Bird, but that got shredded and this string has been her friend ever since. It's the toy that really gets her moving. 

Her second friend is her treat dispensing ball. 

Another good way to help her move about and still get to eat. Plus, it exercises her brain which is also important for kitties. 

Every day we're in the store she makes us laugh. We recently got in a shipment of catnip toys from From The Field. To say the least, she REALLY enjoyed that box.

Look at those eyes, I was considering adding some sparkle to those eyes in photoshop, but really, it wasn't neccesary. 

Take care and have a wonderful holiday season, and try your best to stay warm! We hear snuggling with your animal is a good way.

13.1 - Racing down!

13.1 pounds!!!!!

We are so incredibly proud of her. She's down 4 ounces since we started this endeavor. I know 4 ounces doesn't sound like a lot, but let's put it this way, that would be the equivalent of a 200 pound person losing 7 pounds. Now THAT sounds pretty good. So our little Pollycakes has lost a good chunk so far.

How do we do it?

First, we are taking it slow. We want the weight to come off easily and with minimal stress on her body. She's still getting enough food, enough vitamins, nutrients, protein to keep her a well energized and happy. She is still loving her Primal food and her Weruva BFF canned food. 

Second, EXERCISE!!! We run this cat up and down cat trees, make her chase us around with Da Bird, around displays. Make her do some cat sit ups. 

Here she is after running up the cat tree and catching her prize, The Cat Charmer. The Cat Charmers are awesome because they only cost about $5 bucks and are super strong, and boy can Pollycakes yank on this poor defenseless toy. 

I know it's silly, but that's what we call sit-ups. It actually works though, she is moving, and using those abdominal muscles, and she's breathing hard after doing some. 

We've noticed a lot more energy from her; she is actually RUNNING! That video will come much later. 

 If you have any questions feel free to ask! Thanks for following.

Polly Wanna Cracker?

How's Polly doing? How is she getting along on her adventure? Has she turned on every employee in the store and started eating their lunches? 

A picture speaks a thousand words. 

She is actually doing great! She's not constantly meowing for food or following us around the store pointing out our flaws. She's being extra cute and playing a lot. 

Toys: Currently, she is loving the Cat Charmer as pictured above. She also likes the Da Bird, the Mouse Catcher, and of course laser pointers. 

This is Polly's good angle. She also loves this feathery toy as well. 

The good news! She's lost weight. She is now at 13.3 pounds. It is only a slight drop from the 13.4. But it is right on track for what we want to achieve; the diet and exercise are working!

Why Raw? Here are a few reasons:

- Smaller, less stinky stools

- Super soft and shiny skin and coat

- Clean bright teeth

- Clear Eyes

- Strong Digestive Tract

- Strong Urinary Tract
- Strong Immune system

Besides those points, it is also a super healthy way of keeping a cat or dog at their optimal weight. When feeding raw, you feed just enough with no extra carbs, no fillers, and generally no hormones or antibiotics in the meats. 

We're glad that Polly likes her Primal!
