Buy him a t-shirt with Grumpy Cat on it. He'll love it

i was talking about my friend, who leads a generally healthy lifestyle. As for this person, I just thought since he is stuck and not losing weight, maybe he needs to see a doc.

I am new to this, cuz I am now obsessed with trying to understand food after watching scary documentaries like Food Inc. I swear to you that I do NOT have a calorie deficit. I eat more than 2000 a day. In fact, I eat about 2200 calories a day. How can you explain that? I never even counted calories until now, when I…

Yes, you're right. But so many things are regulated these days, like GMOs. Regulations don't mean quality. Here's an article that sums up what I have been reading about in the past. I have also reviewed many individual stories about cat food, and the major complaint has been kidney problems.…

Oh my dog! What a beautiful dog you have. I'll pray tonight for her health. I REALLLLLLYYYYY appreciate your help. I decided to only feed my cat natural foods, and after a visit to a specialist on cat nutrition, we will see if the cat needs supplements, or even better if I can get him the vitamins he needs from natural…

That is mission impossible. I myself want to stay alive, and I can't afford to hire Tom Cruise.

Hi! thanks for all your replies. How do I measure his height? Or do I measure his length (with or without tail)? How do I measure calories out? The cat does not do much all day long. Theoretically, how many calories does a cat burn during the day if he is mainly resting? thanks in advance p.s. love your avatar btw. Boogie…

Hi! Many thanks for a meaningful answer. I will consider adding raw food to his diet (if you can call it that). However, I read about cat food that they put god only knows what crap in it. Some pet food even contains real excrement. I read many stories where people talk about cat food, and how it has affected their cats. I…

I feel it could be too small for Boogie - he might just ignore it. On the other hand, he may confuse a large treadmill for a conveyor belt sushi.

Yea, I understand what you mean. But my friend was trying to lose weight since she was a kid, and she is convinced that eating healthy foods is the only way. So, she seemed to be stuck on 200 pounds for ages. I just think he should see a doctor, just to make sure everything's fine. Honestly, I cannot understand how a…

thanks. I will actually ask my coach if he can let my cat use his treadmill. But I don't think it will work - still it might be fun to watch. If it works, I will consider buying it, though i don't yet know where to put it. Wish they had smaller treadmills designed specifically for cats. The problem with Boogie is that he…

That's exactly what's been happening here. Anyway, I am concerned and will take him to this vet-nutritionist guy who will test the cat for vitamins, minerals and whatnot

Only if it's a meat ball. Boogie only does exercises for his jaw muscles. His jaws lock like those of a pitbull - scary to watch.

WOW!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will do this tonight. Words can't express my gratitude - maybe I will have a relatively peaceful night's sleep. IMPORTANT UPDATE: After talking to my mother on the phone, it was decided that Boogie gets to go to…

I hear you. But I cannot feed him fat free diet, cuz that would mean no meat. But sometimes when he eats fruit, it looks like he really needs it, the way he tries to take it from me. I am also afraid that if I support his choices, he would be like one of those overweight cats that look like giant hamsters and can hardly…

put Boogie in the water. Please, I am too young to die...

Trust me, if Boogie could make his own posts, he wouldn't even be here on MFP. Instead he would be checking out how to unlock the fridge. yes, he already knows how to open it, so now there is just this annoying safety fridge lock left to be dealt with.

Sounds interesting, but I can't find anything on em. Google doesn't know anything about these catnip ketones. But the word catnip makes me nervous - Boogie never had it. If he becomes addicted to it the way he is addicted to food.... I fear he might follow in the footsteps of Amy Winehouse.

Nope. Too much exercise for him.

Hm, he would def like me to think so. But he is 7 kg, and for a moggie that is not little. His fur does not fall out, and the vet found him perfectly healthy, although a little bit overweight. But, it's like Boogie just heard you (could he be a psychic?) - he is yelling again. Time for a snack. Dunno whether to give it to…

WHoa... Boogie was checked for hormones and thyroid. He is fine. I am tracking treats, but he wouldn't catch moths, trust me. And Boogie is far from innocent - ask the Rottweiler next door. Seriously, that dog is afraid of Boogie.

IT IS SERIOUS!!!! No one is giving me answers.... :cry:

I know this sounds like a good idea. But if I refuse to help him sabotage his health, he will sabotage mine.

I know,right? Oh, my dog....:huh:

Yep, I finally decided to deal with this problem. After 3 years of tolerating continuous humiliation I finally found some time to sit and at least laugh about it, even if I don't find a solution.

Encourage him to eat 15 grams of food every 15 minutes. NO BIG DEAL!

I don't give him dairy. LOLZ hula hoop. That fat *kitten* won't be able to - he don't have a waist

I know, it is so upsetting that everyone is joking about it, while Boogie just managed to get me to give him some ham. And I really don't know how to stop this, because if I don't give him food, he will not let me sleep. Someone here suggested not to feed after 7 pm. That is mission impossible! I would really like to know…

LOVE the pics. But the only exercise Boogie agrees to is to chase a chicken leg as I hold it in my hand. Unfortunately, the chase ends swiftly in my injury, and Boogie's extra calorie intake :(

HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa!!!! My cat is at risk of entering a starvation mode? BUAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never. He will simply steal like he always does. Or he'll just devour that Rottweiler next door, who is already afraid of Boogie for some reason. Aggression towards food, maybe.
