I took Gizmo to the vet today to get weighed. I have been having trouble keeping him on a diet, so i was worried that he had been putting the weight he had lost back on. To keep him on a diet the vet had recommended feeding Gizmo and Gadget separately. Good idea in theory, not so great in real life. Neither Gizmo nor Gadget liked the idea of scheduled feedings ( Which is what i had to do to feed them separately). Gizmo wouldn't eat when he was supposed to-which was okay cause he's supposed to be losing weight anyway- but the problem was that Gadget wouldn't eat when he was supposed to either. I didn't want Gadget to be losing weight, he's still just a kitten and that would be bad for him. So i decided to just leave food out for them but i cut the amount i left out by half. I also have been giving them between 1/2 a can and a whole can of cat food each a day. When i give them the wet stuff they eat it right away, so i know Gizmo is getting some food. Then i leave around 3/4 a cup of dry stuff out for Gadget. Gadget will eat the dry stuff when he gets hungry so most of it is gone before Gizmo can get to it. Yay for my hungry kitten. Since Gadget eats the dry stuff before Gizmo can, Gizmo is only getting the regulated wet cat food and
losing weight!!!

P.S. I tried their Halloween costumes on them last night. They didn't like them but i thought it was GREAT. Here are some pictures.

Gadget in his witch's hat. Or should it be a warlock hat
because he's a boy?
