Oscar and Cole the day after vet checkup - #1 - 1 more pic of Oscar :-)

[Catty1]

Oscar's report advised "modest weight loss" if possible.

Cole's said simply "overweight".

In the first pic, they are getting ready to exercise by playfighting. (Or, as my mom calls it, Sumo Wrestling! )

Hi, Cole and Oscar! You are so handsome! Merry Christmas!

They're both very handsome. Cole sure reminds me of my RB Pepper who I was told was also overweight. His heaviest was about 16lbs. So how much do they weigh?

[Medusa]

They both look pretty darned good to me!

Hi, KAK - they each are about 14lbs...7 point something kilograms!

They are lively and well - but I want them with me for a long time and a good time, so will try and trim them down (Mom here needs to trim a wee bit also! )

I love my babies so much!

I'm used to having big cats so that doesn't sound like a lot of weight unless they're both only small to medium sized cats.

My Storm is a very large cat and he's perfect at around 14lbs. Right now he's still a bit underweight but I think the pred is helping him gain some of his weight back. He last weighed in at only 12.19lbs. Sky and Ziggy are also fairly large cats at around 12-13lbs but I think that Ziggy may be around 14-15lbs now. She just keeps growing and filling out. Sunny is around 12lbs which is a good weight for him since he's a fine boned cat but he's a very long cat. Pearl is my petite girl at about only 7-8lbs.

My RB Pepper was also a large cat so when he got down to 12lbs from being sick he looked too thin. He probably should have been at around 13-14lbs or so. He was a bit shorter in length than Storm but he had a stockier build to him kind of like my Sky. I sure do miss him.

I have a small cat and a large cat. Mac is about 7 lbs. tops. But he is definitely Alpha Cat in our house. Ming is BIG. That's the only way I can say it, BIG. He is a big-boned cat (odd for a Siamese) and tall. He must weight around 20 lbs., if not more. He is on meds that seem to increase his appetite and his weight. I didn't know that amitriptyline did that, but my vet said it can happen sometimes. It sure did with him. He used to be 14 lbs. Oh well.
