Hello!!

I’m sending y’all an update on that lovely ‘plus-sized’ kitty I adopted from you a couple months ago. She is acclimating well to our home. Our other cat, Pookie, was a bit skeptical of her at first and now they don’t seem to mind each other too much. Rocky our German Shepard is very curious about her and also terrified as well. He wants to play with her, especially since she is a very playful little girl, but Kiki (yes, we did rename her, I think she responds better to it) has made it very clear that she will be having none of his playful antics. They are all such a joy to watch. We even went camping with her already.

We took her to the vet on Halloween. She weighed in at 17.05 lbs so she did lose 7.5 ounces since her last weigh in. The vet put her on an all protein diet, so no dry food and changed her wet food to a low carb wet food by the same brand that y’all gave us. BUT the biggest challenge with her is keeping her away from Pookie’s food. My husband built her a cat condo so she could get some exercise going up and down it but she never went higher than the second tier. So that’s where we put Pookie’s food. Then, we saw her jump nonchalantly from the bed to the top tier!! She has very strong motivation when it comes to food. I think that she has also been eating the dog food, so my husband has to build Rocky a table for his food that Kiki cannot reach.

Here are some pictures of her. Enjoy!

Thank you again,
