Hooray for Ummei
Today was kitty six month checkup day. I'm beginning to think I have the most expensive vet ever ($180 for basic exam, no shots for 2 kitties), but she's really good and that's a topic for another day.
The important thing to come out of today is that Ummei lost ONE WHOLE POUND in the last six months!!! Woohoo!
Now, I realize that sounds ridiculously tiny so let me put this in perspective: Imagine I weighed 203 pounds. Now imagine I lost 10.5 pounds in six months. That's what Ummei did. I'm soooo proud of her. I'm not sure we can keep up that rate, but it's really encouraging to see all the extra work I put in to feeding her a special diet is paying off.
The downside is that Desi has lost almost the entire pound she had gained at the last visit. Soooo... the current plan is to arrange with Sam to use his truck to pick up some wood and make a 4' tall pedestal to keep a permanent food source out for Desi. I figure if Ummei loses enough weight to get to jump that high, it's okay for her to eat it. :)
And now, time to stop avoiding work again.
