Over-what??


So, The Rube just got her second rabies and distemper shots. She hated it. She especially hated the thermometer up her cornhole, but who wouldn't, really? Anyway, her last vet appointment she was only about 4 months old... now she is over a year, and shall we say, significantly matured. Matured so much, in fact, that she has doubled her body weight from 6 pounds to almost 12. After getting weighed, the vet was like, "Don't gain any more weight, RUBY."

Well, she obvs meant this as a warning to me, like I am a bad mother stuffing my babylovecat with cake and ice cream. I take offense to that!! I mean, I do give her two "treaty-treats" so I can escape out the door every morning, but Smeds does the same with Buddha and HE'S fine!

And my apt is too small to give her a real workout. What should I do??

buddha is also a bob cat and twice the size of rubes.

It's not your fault, cats typically gain weight after they've been "fixed". Researchers are working on trying to figure out why that's the case.

Ew, he is actually a Maine Coon mix, missy!

And he is 12 pounds. Ruby is fine. The lady cats gain weight after they get fixed.
