HAS YOUR CAT BEEN PLACED ON A CALORIE RESTRICTED DIET? WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS! Help our group at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Angell Animal Medical Center understand why some cats are better at losing weight after being placed on a diet! We’re looking for volunteers with a pet cat previously placed on a diet by their veterinarian after being diagnosed as overweight or obese (Body Condition Score of 6 or greater on a 9-point scale). Any reduced calorie diet qualies (e.g., a diet prescribed by your veterinarian, a low-calorie diet that was purchased over-the-counter, or your cat was fed the same diet with reduced intake). Cats are eligible whether or not they lost weight after dieting! Additional eligibility criteria include: must be indoor-only, 4 to 11 years of age, have no known gastrointestinal disorders or recent lower gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, and given no antibiotics within the last 6 months. Participant responsibilities include: ▪ Signing a virtual consent form ▪ A one-time stool sample collection from your pet ▪ Returning the sample and a brief questionnaire using a prepaid shipping label that we provide IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORTMATION REGARDING THE STUDY, PLEASE CONTACT OUR TEAM!

Skrunkly (Cat!John) and Martin based on @ultramarinaa's design and @thestrangepoet's fanfic

The smaller I draw him the happier I am ...

#Black and green tea are toxic too.#Herbal teas are ok for your cat but dont steep it too long.#Anything with caffeine and sugar is bad ... anyway #I wonder if anyone will notice the patch on Martins thigh cuz his pants would tend to rip prematurely #I wonder why people keep saying that I can't draw overweight characters #Be disproven scroundrels!!!#tma #tma cats #tma podcast #tma fanart #lon #martin blackwood #skrunkly #cat!john #jonyathan sims #jonathan sims #doodle

Ghost cat

#danny phantom #ghost cat #our cat cloud sat in front of us while we were doodling ghost animals #and she stayed still long enough for us to get the general shape of her down #we're actually surprised at how well we did #you can even see that shes actually kinda overweight 😬 we're working on that we promise

Tumblr, I need help in identifying what kind of cat my cat is.

I think he may be at least part Maine Coon, but I got this boy from a rescue and before that he was a stray for 2 years. So he doesn't have anything official stating his breed (or coat name, I'd also like help in identifying that.)

This is him, he's got a sweet temperament and he's a giant (both figuratively and literally) baby. He's about 17 lbs last I checked, there's comparison photos of him beside my mother's regular sized cat as well for scale. He's very fluffy and soft, and is quite the talker as well.

#also i know he is a little overweight at the moment #i am working towards fixing that #cat #cats #kitty #cat breed #cat identification #his name is mr morgan btw #i hope thats enough images to somewhat figure out what he might be #also hes just a handsome boy and people should get to see this man #he also loves other kitties and is a big sweetheart #though for some reason female cats seem to HATE HIM #which i find #kinda funny #girls hate him #men love him #hes gay

Not "Floppa," not "Sogga"...

Predators, not pets.

Learn more.

#cats #caracals #servals #please click past those “cute” and “funny” videos of growling and hissing caracals and servals trapped in apartments #those cats are usually massively overweight #and fed improper diets #and aren't getting anywhere near enough exercise as WILD ANIMALS should be #they're always growling and hissing because they're stressed and miserable #stop forcing predators to be fancy housecats #don't support the exotic pet trade #please reblog if you see this #important

Spent all day packing my bags rrrr i hate moving <\3

been in japan for the past 2 years its gonna be so fucking jarring to be back in hawaii

my reliable public transportation. my walkable city. gone... *crumples into dust*

#Somewhat winning in that i can feel neither of my bags are overweight nor are they painfully stuffed full #Also ive managed to sell most of my furniture. Though theres a few larger items left #Praying someone takes them so i dont have to fucking carry it to the recycle shop aughghgh #Not exactly thrilled about going back home but i do get to see my son again (cat)

I genuinely do not know if me or my cat is the one playing with the feather toy at this point

She likes the stick more than the feather, and sometimes she'll just kind of??? Hold the stick???

Anyway today i was playing feather toy with her (as all good cat dads do) and she just? Grabbed the stick once we were done, and proceeded to shake it so that the feather moved? She did this until i grabbed it and repeated the action three times before throwing the stick at the ground. (Depicted below)

If she ever does this again i will be taking a video of it but like????

What is this??? Am I the cat? Am I a fool trained to catch a little feather for her? Confused and scared.

Here is the face of the rat bastard causing me this crisis

She is a federal criminal and is performing psychological warfare

#cat #cat shitpost #my cat is weird i think????#she is wild and strange????#also yes i know she is overweight #when i got her she was on the verge of cat diabetes and i am doing my best to help her get to a healthy cat size

Studying animal management taught me a lot

Not least of which was the ability to look at an animal, stare into it's big, round, wet eyes, listen to it's most plaintive and sorrowful begging. And still say NO.

#aquila thinks #it's not cold-hearted #i love my cats SO MUCH #it's knowing that if I give them the ten extra treats they're begging for #the they'll become worryingly overweight at best #or throw it all back up on the carpet at worst #'how can you say no to that face?' because i'm thinking about the carpet stains and their health.
