The Starbucks "Cat Claw Cup" has been very popular recently. The cute cat paw scratches the hearts of cat lovers, making the girly girls exclaim, "This cup is so pretty!" As a fashion guru and cat lover in the circle of friends, how could I be willing to be a weakling? Isn’t it just a cat claw cup? Who doesn’t have one? For those of us who have cats, claws and cups, we don’t have to queue up all night to buy them. We just need to take a "photo" with our owners and easily cosplay a "real cat claw cup".

My cat’s claw

My master is so mellow and cute, how could the "Cat Paw Cup" he photographed not be adorable? He can send hair ties, post photos, and ask for likes all at once. but! Comparing it with other people’s “Cat Claw Cup”, it becomes “Cat Claw Cup Plus”! (Awkward!)

There have been more than one embarrassing things that happened because my master was too fat: every time I came home and walked in, he would hug my thighs and give me a hug, and ask me how I felt? I can't hold it at all! He is also very enthusiastic and must be hugged! That piece of flesh is put on the pants, and the pants are taken off immediately; in winter, it has to be pressed on the belly to sleep. If it wakes up earlier than me, it will enthusiastically wake me up and step on my chest and belly with a weight of 16 pounds. , that sour feeling, especially when half asleep and half awake, is like "ghost pressing on the bed"!

To be honest, the master is very cute when he is chubby, but he also has hidden worries. I often play with it for a while and then start to huff and puff. Although I laugh and scold it, "Are you a pig?", I am still worried that being too fat will affect its health, so it is imperative to lose weight! Although it is a bit difficult to reduce a "pig cat" to a cat, I firmly believe that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing.

The obesity war begins: The first step is to take the cat out for a walk and make it walk more and climb stairs. I said this was a really good idea. After all, walking a pet can not only exercise the pet, but also exercise the body of the pet owner. It would be great to get the best of both worlds. But the master also has countermeasures. If the "enemy" doesn't move, I won't move. If the "enemy" moves, I won't move. Every time I encounter such a situation, I have to carry it home. The more times I do it, the more my "muscle arms" have developed.

The second move was to send out the cat-catching stick and laser light. However, the master just wanted to be quiet and gave me a look of contempt.

After many efforts, little success was achieved, and the master did not lose weight. What should I do? Keep pampering me. Until recently, when I went to the pet hospital for a routine physical examination, the doctor said with disgust: It’s time to lose weight! I asked the doctor if I should switch to the royal diet food hanging at the door. After hearing the doctor say, "Oh, no need for that, ordinary food will do." I was relieved, which meant that my fat boy was very close to high blood pressure. Blood lipids still have some way to go!

Following the doctor's principle of eating more often and eating less, I changed the food distribution rules in the restaurant, from free access to food at regular intervals, to regular and rationed meals. No matter how dissatisfied the master is, I must strictly implement it to the end! Naturally, all the dried fish, snacks, and happy house water that the master loves are collected at home. When the master behaves well, he can just reward them.

The British Shorthair is really fat. I think about whether he will become bigger if he is neutered in the future. I didn’t pay attention to the royal breed food before. I thought that cat food can be generalized and does not need to be divided so finely. In order to prevent the cat from becoming squeamish after eating it, I bought him a lot of cat food with seafood and game-based formulas, but it turns out that you still have to listen to the doctor’s advice! For example, Royal has specially developed a cat food containing L-carnitine based on the physiological characteristics of British shorthairs that are prone to obesity, which helps maintain cats' normal weight and British shorthairs' ideal posture. don't wantDon’t believe in low-calorie cat food. There is no such thing in the animal world. If you are not careful, you may suffer from malnutrition and functional atrophy. This is very scary. If you want to buy other brands, you can also ask your doctor for recommendations. Don’t just go for it. I feel defensive when I hear it is recommended, but you should listen to what the doctor says!

The palatability of Royal Cat Food is still very good. There is no obstacle to changing food at all. I eat it up every time. I have already begun to imagine the way the jade tree looks like when the master loses weight.

Every time I think back to the doctor’s words, “I’m too fat, it’s already affecting my normal physical health.” It really breaks my heart! It turns out that cats are just like people. If they are overweight, even if all indicators are normal now, they will be more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart and liver disease, etc. than other cats, increasing the risk of harming their health and life span.

My fat boy is still in his prime now, but when he becomes an old cat, once he develops this eating habit, it will be harder to lose weight. And as he gets older, obesity will overburden the old cat’s waist and foot joints. There are many sequelae. Royal is very good about this. Their adult cat food can be eaten from adulthood to old age. It especially contains certain key nutrients for bone and joint health. When cats are old, they can also withstand all kinds of old cats. sick. The 16 pounds of meat that Fatty carries on his body contains my property and his health risks. I only represent Fatty’s 16 pounds of fat and my profound lessons as a poor man to warn all cat lovers. If you don’t understand, just ask. As a doctor, you don’t want the most expensive product, but you want the right one! I also wish cat friends that they will avoid detours when finding the right cat food, and that good cats will have a safe life!
