Yes, that is a displeasing thought but boogers aren't that bad.
Yes, maybe she needs more exercise. My cat, Freckles a mackerel tabby, just passed a year ago at 12 years. He was quite hefty but it fit him well. My sister got a kitten so for a few years they were always running around together and he got good exercise. Though, he was still a lazy cat.
With all of my animals I always just filled their bowl and let them eat whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. None of my pets have ever been overweight because of it. My dog was in perfect shape his whole life and never had any health problems. That was until he got a growth on his neck and we had to put him down at 10 years.
Oh my goodness I'm sorry to hear that :( its always tragic when something you love passes on, but hopefully both of your pals are safetly playing in a better place
And the reason I feed them in cups is because jake and nicco both have serious health conditions. Nicco is quite old and can't properly digest his food, so I get special food for elderly cats from the vet, but I can't give him too much each go. So I measure out his amount, which is 1/2 cup every 3 hours
With jake, we unfortunately got him from a bad breeder and he was born with both of his anal glands, non functional. It's pretty sad, I have to take him in for shots and tests every month because they're prone to bursting. So he gets special food too, which isn't filled with harsh chemicals or proteins, he gets 2 cups every 4 hours. And with diamond, I just feed her the reccomended amount of regular kitty chow.. Maybe I'll cut back a bit and see if she loses any weight. Her little belly hangs so low it almost touches the floor when she trots lol
Thank you. My cat passing was definitely hard to accept since he got sick and passed shortly after I moved away from home.
It's nice of you to be able to handle two ill pets like that. I'm sure it is quite the burden. Thankfully all of the pets I ever had throughout my life were completely healthy until about the time they passed.
Poor thing, it must be hard to get around with her tummy like that! Haha.
I hate kids
