Oscar Weight Loss Challenge

If anyone hasn't figured out yet that we are obsessed with our cats..now you know. They are our children. We love them to death.. so they are a little spoiled. But they are just so freakin cute!!

Anyways, our baby, Oscar is a little over weight. Well ok more like 4.5 lbs over weight. The vet is not happy or amused. She gave me the biggest lecture when he was in for his one year check up. I told her we have been trying to get him to lose weight, he's just big boned. And hey lady we have a really skinny cat too so we aren't terrible people. The Evil Vet didn't care. Don't worry Oscar was a big hit in the vet's office- everyone LOVED him just not the E.V (evil vet).

After the vet visit I went straight to the organic pet food store and spent an hour finding "healthy" cat food and a food ball that is suppose to promote exercise with the reward of food. I even signed up to get discounts thinking I would be back to buy more organic pet food. Wrong.

The cats HATE the organic cat food and Oscar gained weight. The pet ball is a terror in itself. The stupid thing gets your entire house messy with scraps of cat food all over the floor. And Stella ended up playing with it, not Oscar. Fail.  UGH.

We thought maybe he would lose weight in Florida because he was running around so much. Nope. So now that he has gained even more weight, it's time to get serious.

Oscar weight loss challenge begins... This week we are switching to wet food- more protein less carbs. And I am going to try to get him to play with toys. I'll keep you posted.
