Not when you go and have a yearly check up by a vet. It's embarassing. My vet comes to my house to do all the yearly booster for cats and dogs, every single year, I have got the same told off, your cats or your dogs are fat. But the vet is also my friend, she feeds her with pizzas or any human food now and again and mine are on strict diet. And mine are so chunky. It's just so unfair.

Ditta, Mack is about a month younger than Dice, so I will check his weight tonight and see how much he weight. At least if he weights a lot, I can just blame he is a boy and make be a bit under tall?

I will use any excuses but this excuse sounds good to me since you and Ditta said it now. I bet if I say that to my vet next year when Mack needs to go for the jab, he probably thinks it is a good excuse.

I once told my vet my cat who weights 24 lbs in weight has thick fur and short legs, that's why he looks fat but in fact he should be skinny. My vet put it down in his record...Chubby is beyond help. Owner is in sane.

What's so funny, that was the truth. Honestly you should read some of the notes my vet put in my records. The hospital knows me so well, so they don't mind putting comment down like that. But it's pretty embarassing sometimes. I kinda live at the hospital because they see me that often.

My vet always tells me my pets are too fat or the teeth need cleaning blah blah blah. I told them if it's a matter of live or death, I probably would take action faster. It's very hard to monitor who eats what in the house if you have a mini menageri, even I try my best to give them the best proper diet. As you said, all animals are just like us, they all come in different sizes and I honestly say some of them don't eat much and they are still fat. Some eats lots and they end up being the skinny ones.

With Chubby, I think I named him wrong, so he is very chubby. Only his weight is a bit umm concern, everything is good this year check up. We have done the senior blood test and he passed with flying colours.

Good job I only have Mack, so at least I can still watch him, watch what he eats, but I still have the feeling that he will be understall eventually.
