Fat Cat Camp Pics - Day 1

So, we got the vet's opinion the other day as I said in my last post.  Today, mom started the diet.  Since she had a bunch of running around to do she didn't exactly follow it the way the vet laid out for her. I think she had errands, tea with a buddy, and work but I lose track.  All I know is that she was in and out all day.  So what did she do?  Well, she didn't listen to the 20 kibble rule (hopefully she forgot that part but I'm not holding my breath, she tends to remember the stupidest things).  Last night, she gave Epa and I a total of 1/3 cup of our dry food.  In the late morning/early afternoon today, she fed us both one 5.5 ounce can of wet food.  Unfortunately, it was the one that I'm not a big fan of but I ate some anyways.  At around 2:30, she fed us another 1/3 cup dry food (which some is still in our bowl now, I just checked).  Then, at around 10:30 tonight, she fed us another 5.5 ounce can of wet food, this time, the one I like because it has a lot of liquid in it that I can lick.  I think I heard her say something about the fact that she is going to mix some water in with that type again to fill me up faster and also give me water in a people cup because I always will drink the water immediately.

So, to put it in list form our meals consisted of the following:

• 12am (midnight) - 1/3 cup dry food
• 11:30am-ish - 5.5oz wet food
• 2:30pm - 1/3 cup dry food
• 10:30pm - 5.5oz wet food

So in total between the two of us (Epa and I) we had about 16ozs of food between us or, 2 cups.  But that doesn't count the remainder of the wet food from this afternoon she threw out or the food still left in the bowl right now. I don't think that's too much but unfortunately, that's up to mom.  I eat a little more than Epa which is why I think mom is going to start cutting down.  I think she said instead of 2 of the 1/3cup portions, she is going to change it to 1/4 cup portions.  I don't know though.  I don't even think mom knows to tell the truth, but don't tell her I said that.

Anyways, since mom likes taking pictures so much (seriously! She takes pictures every time she hangs out with friends almost) I had her take a couple of me today to show what I look like now.  Since she's not the boss of me, I didn't pose exactly like she wanted me to.

 The overhead view: mom says when I sit like this, I look like a boat from the front

Me stretching out

I refused to so this one from the side because mom's mom (my grandma) says I look like a cow....meanie

Another one of me chilling

Oh yes, before you start to worry, I AM interviewing Epa in the next few days.  I am gathering my questions together for her....and waiting for a time when she will actually sit still for two seconds.  I should mention that questions are always welcome for me.  Feel free to write a question using the comment section below and I will answer them as soon as I can.  I am also working on setting up an email but I think I may need mom's help with that.
