See the state I am in because of what THEY make me do? I’m suffering! I’m practically a STICK now!
So, usually, mama and papa can figure out what it is I need, or want, more to the point, but lately they have NOT been that sharp in the area relating to food consumption, or rather, NON-consumption.
Well, I must say, papa has been pretty savvy, in that he has read all the info online of several brands of kibble plus wet food and has come to the conclusion that I need…get this: kibble for SENIORS!
Are they out of their cotton-pickin’ minds???
I am no more a Senior than one of those donkeys is a CLYDESDALE!
If ANYONE is a Senior around here, well…I will draw a veil on that one, whatever that means, but maybe, just maybe, the OTHER inhabitants of this dwelling should take a look in the MIRROR one day and see just what SENIORS look like! I’ve had MY grey spot in my fur since I was BORN. But have THEY??? No way, Jose…
And as for the other TINY amount of grey that might be creeping into my fur, randomly, here and there, I would call it silver threads among the jet, NOT SENIOR FUR!
There will be a full disclosure after this radically different regimen I am on, and I can tell you one thing that any nu-nu knows: Burn off more than you munch. Simple as pie. Uh, oh, wish I hadn’t said “pie”…
Oh, merci, mama and papa. A bit of water to go with my crust of bread…
I swear we are related, Loulou as I too am suffering the ravages of this hunger games that Mrs H is playing with me. If it weren’t bad enough that they have cut me back to three wet meals a day and four dry, my cream rights have been removed completely!!
I heard tell of such places as ‘Fat Camps’ me thinks we should both book in and get ourselves well and truly fat and charge it to your peeps account!

FAT CAMPS WHERE ANTHROS GO TO GET FAT????? Wow, that’s a new one. And four times a day!!! I’m 6.7 kilos and I’m only getting 185 g per day plus 12 g of kibble!!! It’s the calories they are counting for me. And I do look a bit slimmer, I have to admit. Can barely walk, haha. We ARE related, there is no question.
Oh, how I feel your PAIN, Loulou. My papa discovered Kibble LITE! And now he mixes it with raw chopped zucchini for the lunch meal. Soon they’ll be calling us Twiggy, ya think? Mama laughed out loud at the clydesdale-donk reference. I guess they want me to look like a whippett with a full body wig. Oh, the torture. But their hearts are in the right place – even if our tummys aren’t!!
Oh, Mya, LITE makes FRIGHT! Or BLIGHT! And zucchine? ARGGGGGH. This is putting bad ideas into mama’s head. The next thing you know I’ll be rummanging through the spaghetti squash, looking for a morsel of reality!!!
Loulou, recently neighbors have started to say that Charly, my lovely-adorable-sweet poodle, is taking the shape of a sausage.
Can you imagine ?
Sadly, I had to agree with the bloody neighbors: my Apricot baby was putting on weight.
Although I would not describe Charly as a sausage but rather un petit tonneau.
So, guess what the counter-attack is? D.I.E.T. of course. And more exercise, bien entendu.
Loulou, Summer will see both Charly and you with slender bodies.
You might consider a career in modelling?
Oh, Charly, you little roly-poly poodle! I wish you would put a photo on the internet so that we could sympathize with one another. But I did play this morn, first time in months.
I am trying but it doesn’t seem to work.
It worked perfectly! Twice.
Let me try
Oh, you darling little pink sausage…..just kidding. That doggy looks really skinny to me! Don’t listen to anyone.
You poor starved kitty.
Oh, don’t cry for me, Ellen-tina….
Oh No LouLou!!! Senior cat feed should never be fed. Kitties no matter the age must have meat protein. The furst thing those senior diets do is cut the protein. Not that it’s actually good anyways. But, they cut the protein that leads older cats to start muscle wasting. We’re sendin’ hugs and purrayers.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
I think they just changed their minds, Dezi, thanks to you! Papa made a mistake in his research, he told me this morning. I’m getting Light kibble, that’s the only cut back, because my wet food is lots of protein.
Poor Loulou. To think that you’ve been referred to as a “senior” pussycat when you are the definition of youthful beauty. But don’t you worry, many of us pussycats have been labeled “seniors.” It is just the humans’ trying to define us with their own vocabulary that doesn’t make a lick of sense. They are the ones that loose their hair, shrink down, have odd smells, and get flabby skin and wrinkles.
Oh I hope they hold off on that for a little while for my sake!
