Scales for the cat

The cat has been on a diet for many weeks now. She looks a lot slimmer! And I can tell that she doesn't enjoy her diet at all. She isn't aggressive about it, but I can tell that would really like more food. And I was wondering if I could already give her a bit more. Would she have lost enough?

The way to find out is weigh her. But my own scales don't really care much about 1 kg more or less, so I can't use these. I decided to buy scales especially for her. They go up to 20 kg.

They have arrived! So it was time to try to get on it. She doesn't like being picked up, so I tried to bribe her onto it with dreamies. The problem is a bit that she can generally get to the dreamies without putting all her four paws on the scales.

After a while I managed to get her on it anyway. And she's only lost 200g! She has to lose four times that! So she is not coming off that diet. Sorry little cat! It will be a hungry spring…

Cat not on it
