We have the cats on a diet. Or rather, 3 diets. The Dense One is on an obesity diet to help her lose weight, the Tense One is on a selected diet as she’s allergic to everything, and the Immense One is eating the rest of our food stores since neither of the others can help him eat them now. All 3 are overweight but the second two have other problems.
Today however has been so far fairly effective in controlling their feed intake. A senile black Labrador wandered past the house and stood in the exhaust of Dad’s car as he was trying to pull out. So I took the chap in and stuck a note on our window – “Have you lost a dog?”. The two girl cats flew upstairs and hid and the boy cat got a fright later on when he came to the backdoor and was greeted by a huge black dog. Nice dog, but cat didn’t know that. About 2 hours later the owner knocked on the door – she’d seen the sign. Very grateful owner. It’s now 3 hours since the dog left and the cats are still in hiding – thus no one is eating! Fantastic.
Maybe I could market this as an amazing weight loss scheme… The Over-Friendly Senile Labrador Plan…
