Pollycakes takes over!

I'm baaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!

Since this lazy human only has time to feed me, just barely, I figured it's time to get some work done! 

Have you made some New Year's resolutions? I have. EAT MORE! 

I'm still working out how I want to accomplish this goal. I do know it's going to take some help cause darn these useless thumbs. Do you know how hard it is to open a bag with no thumbs? Try it sometime.  In order to help with this cause I have recruited a couple members not of my species. 

THIS ONE! She's a good one. 

And her too! 

All I have to do is meow for about 15 to 20 minutes non stop and I'm rewarded. It's this little thing I've learned about called training. Here's how it works, I meow, and then I'm rewarded. Sometimes I have to meow a little louder and a little bit longer, but I'm usually rewarded for my amazing vocal talents. 

I sometimes like to recruit other four legged friends to help me distract humans. 

This is Summit, she's cool. Unless she gets in my face then it's WHACK! 

And last but not least, it's really important to remind everyone….

I AM THE QUEEN!

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.

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.
