You know, people always talk about having to portion control their cat's food, but for some reason with my cats I just try to always keep the bowls full anytime I notice they're getting low (sometimes I forget and they're empty through the night or suck), and my cats all just more or less maintain the same weight

Wouldn't mind Giorgio and Tara both gaining some weight, but like Bart forever stays at the same size no matter how much food he's offered

#vet looked at his weight on the chart and thought it was a bit high; but it's like... not all breeds are shaped the same #I've had fat cats in the past; I know what a fat cat looks like; I know what fat on a cat is like #Bart is just a dense breed of cat; like for real; I don't know my breed names so well; but these cats are always dense #and like I feel him when I'm petting him all over and he's the right shape for him #like if Giorgio weighed the same amount he'd be very fat because that breed is pretty lean #(hell; I've had a cat of that breed who was fat before)#just like... we understand there's big dogs and small dogs; and I get that cats have a bit less variance but still #and for the record I like my vet it's just...#you know; when I was doing emt training my instructor said “treat the patient; not the chart” and that's stuck with me #and I feel like that was a real treating the chart moment #cause you look at Bart himself and he's sitting right around his ideal weight honestly; I'd worry if he started losing weight #and the thing is he's thankfully maintained more or less this weight for some time; so you find any picture I've posted of him #that's still more or less how he looks; they all more or less look the same as they always have #(except Tara no longer has that mass on her face; which I'd had it explained earlier so I could have gotten it removed sooner)#(everyone else said don't worry; but this vet said “I can't remove that; I lack the skill; talk to these people instead”; and I did)#(which is part of why I like this vet)#anyway... just some thoughts
