Well today i took gizmo back to the vet to get weighed again. I didn't get the best news this time. Gizmo is back up to 13 pounds. I was hoping for him to be around 12 pounds, but i guess after the last weigh in he was determined to gain back the weight he lost. I am going to try feeding the kitties separately now. I give them each half a can of cat food in the morning, and they eat their own portion. Then i was giving them some dry cat food over night. Obviously this isn't working. So I'm still going to give them the morning wet food, but i think i may cut down the dry cat food at night and only leave it out for 10 minutes and then let them go the whole night with out food. I hope this works because if it doesn't I'm not sure what I'm going to do to help Gizmo lose weight.
Oh and i also took gadget to the vet with me this morning. He wouldn't get out of the kitty crate so i just took him with me. He also got weighed today. He is around 7 months old and weighs 9.5 pounds. I am afraid that he is going to get chunky too. He looks completely healthy and only has a slight belly. The vet didn't say anything about Gadget's weight so I'm not really too concerned, but i think cutting down his intake of food may be good for him too. I don't want him to be losing weight, but if i could slow down his progression of gaining weight that would be nice. Plus I am pretty sure that Gadget is mixed with a Siamese breed and they are supposed to be thin cats, so keeping him at his weight now will be good. (Oh yeah, and seeing gadget at 9.5 pounds makes me dread what Gizmo is going to look like if he gets down to his 'goal' weight of 10 pounds. I still think that it is just too small for a cat of his build. To me he looks healthy now. I would like to get him down to under 12 pounds, but 10 just seems so skinny.)
Wish me luck, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need it.
