Higgins and Miggins go on a Diet

The problem with feeding them snacks such as ham and cheese is that the cats get fat, especially during winter when the weight starts to pile up. My neighbour carefully monitors their weight and will put them on a diet from time to time. It’s the same as designing a human diet: she stops feeding them ham and cheese and cuts down on the cat food she gives them. It doesn’t take long before they are back to being in the healthy weight range. And what is a healthy weight for a cat? According to Dusty Rainbolt, author of Kittens for Dummies, a cat should look like an hourglass when viewed from above. Good tip. That always makes me think of my friend’s Tonkinese cats, as they have a lean build and definitely have that hourglass shape when I look down at them.

Mine doesn't look like an hour glass... perhaps it's time to put her on a diet too!
