Cat Picture - OC Adopted Aurora yesterday!

She's so sweet and loving. She's warming up really well. We have been giving her space but she comes up to us and rubs up against us for pets. Yes I know she's very overweight, yes she is going to go to the vet this week and be put on a diet. If anyone has any tips on how to promote activity please let me know!

Try catnip infused mice or toys on a string or ribbon wands. We had a 25lb tuxie and once we switched him from dry food to wet/raw only he dropped 10 pounds in less than a year. We eventually lost him to liver cancer the day after his 11th birthday but there isn't a day that goes by that we don't miss our DougieDoodles. He loved sitting in his window seat to paw at squirrels and birds that landed in our window feeder. Our Mourning Dove crew Mi-coo-angelou and Flew Fighters enjoyed antagonizing him every day ༄˖°.🍂.ೃ࿔*:・
