A little kitten to make a home
Spirit has been home for about 2 weeks now. I brought her home with me on the plane from Nova Scotia. At first she seemed decidedly less than thrilled with the fact that she was in yet another unfamiliar environment, but Spirit has always been wonderfully adaptable. By the end of the day, she'd discovered the incredibly thick and soft sofa back and has made it her home inside home. 'Having her here definitely makes this place feel more like home. I always look forward to coming home from work and being told off by her from the top of the stairs for being gone all day. : )We're a little concerned about her weight, though. She hasn't been to the vet yet this year, so I don't know her official weight, but she's definitely beginning to show it. I can't set up limited feeding times like you're supposed to with cats, because she has a tendency to stuff her face all at once and then throw up when the dry food expands inside her stomach. I have, however, severely limited the amount that I give her each morning and I don't feed her any more during the day. We're also trying to get her to exercise more, which is a real effort on our parts because she's an indoor cat. Luckily, she got lots of cat toys for Christmas from my family, including a laser pointer, so hopefully she'll start to get trimmer in the upcoming months. If anyone has any advice on how to get a cat who's at least 12 lbs (but probably more like 13) down to a healthier weight, feel free to post a comment.
