Talking Gemuk is out of fashion, thin is in ...

Thanks, DIMB! Good info because so many forumers keep insisting they like their pets fat and cuddly. Extremely bad for their health and well-being!

That is why I monitor the weight of all my greedy cats and feed them just enough even though they all give me the half-starved look (they had just eaten right in front of my very eyes) and keep licking their lips trying to burn my conscience (a real test of will!). Hahahaaaa!!!

I worry about the pressure of extra weight on their joints, not to mention other obesity related problems. And I believe prevention is better than cure, so I start even from kitten stage.

I have had to put a couple of the very greedy ones (they gobble everything on their own plate in a flash and rush on to eat someone else's ) on the very, very expensive RC Obesity Management formula for a couple of months to get them back in good shape.

Hey friend you know, dog is your buddy and cat is my buddy ... so I am @CIMB!
