No, it's not a diet eating the food the Buddha would eat. We've put our cat Buddha on yet another diet. This time he and Vishnu are getting carefully rationed meals twice a day.
But this time it's working!
Buddha's ideal weight is 16 pounds. He is a big cat. Tall and long. His weight when we began this diet was 22.5 pounds. Today, 5 weeks later, he is 21 pounds. Yay! That's about 7% of his body weight. Only 22% more to go. :)
Basically, we've found that Buddha was eating everything we were giving him, but Vishnu was not. And, therefore, Buddha was eating the rest of Vishnu's food. So, now that he's eating only what he's supposed to eat he is sliming down to the weight he's supposed to be.
Yay!
