Diets and cats don't go together...


Not fat....just fluffed up... a lot!

There is so much bad press and publicity everywhere these days that unfortunately they can do a lot of damage and they can change a cat's life for the worse and damage their good relationships with their humats....I mean humats sometimes they seem to have far too much time on their hands and as a result they often come up with ideas and even worse solutions which are not for a kitty's best interest...

A good example is their current belief and understanding that us kitties can get really fat and become obese like themselves...I mean who ever heard such a preposterous idea...we DO NOT get fat (I repeat WE DO NOT GET FAT)...we simply just don't eat because food is there or because we are bored...these are silly only humat behaviours not behaviours that us, kitties, will implement under normal circumstances...

Listen once and for all humats, us, kitties, we'll eat only when we are hungry...most of the times little and often and just because some of us are naturally bigger than others (you know we simply are big boned and with a lots of furz) we will as a result look a lot bigger than others...you see our mass doesn't change, only the volume increases (and that volume is mainly fur) and therefore your scales are wrong...heavier doesn't necessarily mean fatter...just heavier bones or....err fur!

So yes fur is heavier than you think and therefore it is not our actually weight (or mass) that appears to increase...just a bit of extra fur...which of course means that as result there is no need for you to cut down on our daily food portions, treats and generally put us on a what you so called diet...diet is a human concept which doesn't apply to us...it's very similar to let's say having a vegetarian cat...he, he good one! Vegetarian cat! Ha, ha...sometimes I can be sooo funny...cat that doesn't eat meat or fish...not purrrsible...

Anyway and to get a bit more serious...so yes, cats don't get fat (of course as always there would be some exceptions to this rule...some kitties who are not well, mentally or physically, will get a bit overweight due mainly to situations and conditions beyond their own control...but these will be very very few cases and you can't draw conclusions from these very few cases that can apply to the general kitty population) therefore there is no need to put us, kitties, on a diet because you think that we overeat or that we are overweight...we are not.

So come on humat time to go back to normal, no need for dieting just normal big portions and treats again for me, a very poor, little and very hungry kitty...meooowww?
