Thread: My Cat was Neutered Today

Yes, they castrated the poor fellow. And as I explained in the chat to a few people last night, I had a special request for the people at the Animal Hospital.

But anyhow, Steve is recovering nicely.

I have to ask, did they honor your request. Any strange looks.lol. Watch out, cats tend to get overweight after being nuetered.

Can't you see the picture, wopmanfixit? Heh heh.

Most cat owners leave food out all day for kitty. This not only causes some serious obesity, it's unhealthy in other ways. Because the cat's eating habit is cued by smell, and he's always smelling food, the blood rushes to his stomach to digest what it thinks is coming. This keeps the various glands from working on his coat or antibodies or whatever.

A half cup in the morning and another at night is more than enough for your cat and will help him live a long, happy, tumor free life (can you say vet bills?).

Food for thought (lol)

Sorry, but

BULL

by nature a cat is used to eating small quantities several times a day.
It is the kind of food left behind screwing the cat's health up. But with most cats, you can without a probleem leave dry food there. My cat never had a tumor, or any other real illnesses and has lived for 24 years, with food always readily available.

I don't think you can generalize cats like that. Cats are all different. I have one that only eats until she's full, and that's it. Stays skinny, even with food out all the time. I have another that eats like a pig, gets fat. I have to put her food away to maintain a healthy weight.

Actually not bull. I'm glad you have had healthy cat friends for so many years and that is the only important thing.

My cat (gone to us now ) was always trim and energetic with two feedings per day. When she stayed with my friend for six months who left food out all day, she turned into a little marshmallow. When I returned her to her natural, twice a day diet, she shed her excess weight within a month.

ROFLMAO. I didn't look close enough.

Blade, you should make earrings out of those things!!
