MJ's little flock

[ManueB]

My current experiment is to spoon out a portion for each of the two being bullied and then half that amount on three separate plates. While the bully works her way from plate to plate the others can eat in peace.
Hope it works!

Sounds exactly like what I do for the chicken when I add eggs, pasta or rice to their mash.
The youngest have a bonus though because they are faster both eating and running

Both the cats who have slimmed down are really fast. The chubby girl, not so much. So I hope that will help.
I don't know why they let her bully them. They are both much bigger cats. I mean now not so much from a weight perspective, but taller, longer etc. She was a litter runt and is pint-sized, but now very roly poly!

getting them translated into the mother tongue of your target market may also pay dividends. It's the ones that would struggle to read the voucher in English who most need the help

They seem to use OCR translator apps for that purpose these days. I think that's why they think they can get through. Use the translator app for everything. But that doesn't help in a verbal Q&A assessment, which we need to be doing these days with AI furnishing so much written work.

I've often wondered why Mary tolerates Peggy picking on her when she's twice Peggy's size and has huge spurs. Seriously, Mary would win if push came to shove, but she lets Peggy take advantage every time.

That’s like when Penguin, who was about 1kg, took the alpha spot from Tegan, who was 3kg.

It's not your age, it's your mobile phone! For all personal purposes I completely condone dumb phones, but all the kids are using smart phones to cut any corner they can spot.

Yes! It doesn't add up. But it works anyway.

Me, and I've been in hot water because of it all day. She had her senior cat day stay at the vet today. Turns out she has a problem with her molars, but more urgently she has the beginnings of hyperthyriodism. I've been reading up and making calls, and I think she's going to have radiotherapy, which is a 'one and done' cure for 98% of cats. She'll have to be in the isolation ward for a week, which will be a big change for her, but hopefully she will adjust.

Gosh I hope it works for Blossom. so glad you caught it early.

It will. There are other treatment options if she ends up in 2% of cats radiotherapy doesn't work for.

We knew she was heading in that direction from the tests that are part of her annual senior cat day stay appointment. Early detection of things going wrong is all part of her care plan.

I'm surprised her teeth are a problem. Usually she rakes in compliments on the condition of her teeth, with people suggesting she must be younger. I only know what I was told when I adopted her, which was 11 years old. So she's now 14-15.
