Between the pair of us, The Mother and I have managed to overfeed Mr Lewis, which was pointed out at his last veterinary appointment, rather tactfully I thought. So Lou is back on his diet again!
Somehow, the ten grams of cat biscuits I’d been weighing out for Lou to have as treats over the course of the week became ten grams of biscuits he was getting everyday before bed! No wonder he was expanding! So, over the following days I began to reduce the biscuits until Lou was having a gram per day. This didn’t seem to be making much difference and it wasn’t until I discovered The Mother’s stash of cat biscuits that I realized she was still giving him extra! Needless to say we had `words’ about this with me pointing out how being overweight could lead to more urinary problems for Lou and large vet bills for me! I think we’re both on the same page now.
Mr Lewis is not happy about the cut in his rations being very `hangry’ at not having his stomach clock satisfied. We are working on this but in the meantime, despite the recent warm weather, we continue to wear shoes and long trousers in order to protect our feet and legs when Mr Lewis turns into Mr Bitey!
