She is absolutely gorgeous by the way. Zombii used to be super chonky too, but she lost quite a bit of weight. She is 15 now, and more playful than ever
My part maine coon absolute unit is finally accepting their diet. He was 22 pounds, down to about 19 right now. He can almost reach everywhere for grooming again and he's so much more active
That was a good day. I had to learn how to shave and wipe her bum (when I got her she just had dingle berries!?). Now she can get there all by herself. Your boy will get there!
I've never successfully shaved mine so I take him in periodically to have a professional do it. The wiping though is important he gets a bit messy 😕 One day, I'm hopeful in a month or two
Any advice? I'm trying to slim mine down lol. I've got her on some royal canin (or whatever it is) weight loss food (1/4th cup 2x daily), but is there anything else that can help?
I did the same with the food ("diet" kibble, same measurements). The biggest thing was getting her to move. I had to dedicate time after work to play with her until she was a little winded. I did minimum of 4 days a week. And it took some time. I adopted her in 2021, so it took a good 3 years to get her down. The smaller they get, the easier it gets because they start doing extra stuff on their own. Like, once she got energy, she would do "zoomies." First just here and there, and soon she was doing laps at night just cause she could. When she lost enough to get to that point (I want to say that was around 18 or 17), she started to lose more. The first year I got her to the 18/17 range, but the by the second year, she was one pound from her goal.
