It's that time of year again: my cat Jarvis went to the vet today for his annual booster vaccination and check-up. Long-time followers of this blog will recall that it was this time last year when the vet told me that Jarvis was overweight and needed to go on a diet. Progress was initially good, but then his weight levelled out at about 6kg.
The vet said he needed to lose more weight, and despite my assertions that I was sticking rigorously to the program, I could tell they didn't believe me.
Jarvis also found the weigh-ins very stressful. Reluctantly, I stopped taking him to the weigh-ins after just a few weeks.
Anyway, without changing a thing, his weight is now down to a svelte 5.4kg. Ideally, he should be around 5kg, so let's hope that this trend continues!
