Pumpkin's Story:
Pumpkin was always an active cat. He used to love chasing and catching mice, taking walks around the block with Dan and visiting friends in his Utah neighborhood. That all changed five years ago when someone shot him in the eye with a BB gun. Just as he finally recovered from this horrible hate crime, his owners forced him to move across the country to Somerville, Massachusetts. He traded his lofty 3-story house for a 400-square-foot studio. Since then, he has stopped exercising and has enjoyed an all-you-can-eat buffet of tuna and dry food. Now, he's ready to reclaim his life!
The Weight Loss Plan:
Pumpkin plans on losing the weight by eating 1/3 cup of food a day. He might be surprised one of these days to find that his regular food has been replaced by maintenance cat weight-control food. In addition, he will be drinking often from his Brita water pitcher and eating at Subway. Pumpkin will be weighing in once a week and hopes to use his new found knowledge about healthy eating to motivate his parents.

hahahahaha
sounds like a very motivated cat. Most of them aren't.
He's pleasantly plump! No need to torture him like this, let him live a lazy, happy and perpetually full life!
hahah! This is great. Poor Pumpkin. I hope he doesn't get voted off before he reaches his goal!
If he starts craving the good stuff, I've found that chewing Extra Sugar Free Gum really helps keep those cravings at bay. It comes in great flavors like salmon, tuna and my favorite, catnip. So he won't miss those afternoon treats he's become so used to!
From reading Marci's Blog, I'm hoping this diet doesn't lead to Pumpkin developing a self-image problem. Be sure to remind him to be more mindful of his eating and use all his senses to enjoy his food. Then he can acknowledge his food preferences without judgment and focus on health, not thinness.
did i mention that he had fatty liver disease? this is an epidemic, people!
