I have a very sad cat [View all]

We have a 13-year-old cat named Lolli who’s been with his mother for his entire life. She died of cancer this spring. Lolli is a big boy—about 17 pounds—and he consoles himself by eating. He’s been whining about food a lot and I’ve been feeling sorry for him and providing all the snacks and treats he asks for. I know this has to stop because he’s getting fatter, but for now he gets his snacks.

Maybe you could try a lick mat for his treats. It might slow him down a bit. japple Jul 2023 #10
