OK -- so we adopt Bunnie (Chunkybutt Cat) and her paperwork says she
is 12#7oz. NOT -- took her to the vet today and she weighs in at
FOURTEEN POUNDS -- that's 14#!!! Talk about a chunkybutt -- LOLOL!
Good thing she is on kitty diet food. Other than be a chunkubutt, all
is well and she doesn't need her shots until late April or early May :-).
Also, this kitty who is supposed to not get along with other cats is
having ho trouble at all. A few hissing matches between her & Cassie
(Baby Cat) and that's about all. I was also told that she loves to be
petted but will try to scratch &/or bite you (gently) if you stop. None
of that is really happening. The first day she did try to put her claws
on me when I was petting her so I put a stop to that and it hasn't
happened again.
Bonnie is a sweetheart and seems to get along famously with IvyJane
(the Stealth Garbanzo Brain Kitty). I caught them sitting together on
the runner in the upstairs landing, even. As soon as IvyJane saw me,
she snuck into my bedroom (she likes to get under our bed) and sat just
inside the door. She allowed me to come within about 5 feet and I bent
over and we just looked at each other while I told her how pretty she is
and how lucky I am to be her Mom. She stood there for a good long while
and then turned around and slowly went under the bed.
All in all, I am quite lucky to have both of these kitties.
IvyJane REALLY needs the time to adjust and come out of her shell in a
safe and loving environment. Bunnie just needs someone to brush her and

Bucket was 30lbs by age three and the vet cautioned it could shorten
his life, while noting that he did have a big frame. Just the same,
he was overweight. I tried dieting him and it obviously bothered him
so I gave in. He always ate the same quantity per day and lived
healthily to the age of 18, I am glad I stopped trying to alter his
weight.
Oddly enough, Hidiyeh who weighs 3lbs wet, eats more per day than
Bucket ate.

I understand about the differences in cats! Mikey (Fat Cat) weighed
in at 12# and the vet said that was a good weight for her because she
was a BIG cat. She ate less than either of the other cats who were both
in the 10# range, smaller than Mikey (length, height, etc.) and ate a
lot more! For those two, the vet said they were a bit overweight and to
cut out any treats. We did that and both kitties went down to about 9#
and stayed there.
Bunnie, OTOH, is just plain FAT! She's a long kitty so will likely
be OK at about 10#. When she was spayed back in late April, she weighed
in at 12# so she's gained 2# in 8 months -- a lot for a cat! Of course,
she was a new mom cat and spent most of her time in a cage getting no
exercise! Hopefully now that she has a whole house to run around in
(and she is doing just that), she'll lose some of her "baby fat". I'm
glad that you quit trying to get Bucket to lose some weight and living
to be 18 just showed he was healthy! You were and are a good cat mom
