Diet Time




Goro and Niko often fight while I prepare their meal.


Kids! Dinner is ready. Stop fighting!

A peaceful time...
*They do seem to have sides. Most of the time when 
they eat, Goro is on the left and Niko is on the right.


Goro always takes over Niko's bowl.


Goro, aren't you eating too much lately?


That's true. It makes sense for active boy like Goro
to eat a lot. (As you can see, he flies all the time.)


However, at his last check-up a couple of month ago,
Vet told Goro not to get heavier.

Weight was "satisfactory" but "heavy side of normal."

Goro, I have to cut back on your snack.


It is not terribly hard. I simply give him less amount.
Also when it comes to snack (= chicken) time...

*Again, Goro is on the left and Niko is on the right.

Niko always takes over Goro's plate :-)


P.S. Thank you for your good wishes for Niko's Vet
visit from my previous post. His blood work showed
a bit worrisome numbers. We will go back to the Vet
for recheck in March. I hope my baby boy is okay.

  2. Dearest Tamago,
    Oh, our Spooky boy (the indoor cat since early December) is also a bit on the heavy of normal. One of the girls, Spicy is way too heavy but she gets the same food as the rest. She has short legs and is very fluffy but as sweet as can be. So what could we do? One of the five siblings, sister of Spooky is always so hyper and on the light side; there are as many differences in cat weight as there are in human weights.
    Hope your baby boy will be fine; don't we worry about them like a human child? Which is great, it shows FULL responsibility and so many people are lacking that.
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette

  5. Goro, don't feel bad. The vet told me that I was a little too heavy too and told my mom to feed me a little less. I hate dieting!!

    We are purring for Niko and hope he is okay.

  6. Sammy and Moosey have to eat in separate rooms, because otherwise they eat each others food. :)

    We are purring and praying for Niko's vet appointment, and hope he will be okay.

    Hugs, dear friends.

  7. Dearest Tamago-san,

    こんにちは、タマゴさん;お元気でしたか。体調を崩されていないか心配していました(*^_^*) 
    久しぶりに投稿を読めてゴロちゃん、ニコちゃんにも会えました♪♪♪ ニコちゃんは単に検診を受ける予定なのかと思っていました。少し心配ですね、血液の方落ち着きますように!!!
    Haha, ゴロちゃんの方はダイエットですね。我が家の旦那様は退職後どんどん体重増加ですが、私のアドバイスは全く聞いて貰えません(^^;) ゴロちゃんは得意のflyingがずっと出来ますように☆☆☆ 素敵なjump(^_^)v

    PS>お忙しいのに素敵なコメント有難う御座います。日本の感覚からのコメントがいつもたのしみです♡♡♡
    I always appreciate your sweet lovely comment, my young Japanese friend.

    Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

  11. The airborne shot is fabulous. LOL.

    Fingers and paws crossed for Niko's test results in March, we hope all will be just fine.

    BTW, we're a bit...plump...these days, though we like to think it's just our winter coats.

  12. All of us have our *spots* when it comes to meal times too!
    We love that picture of you flying, Goro! We hope Niko's next vet checkup shows better numbers.

  13. Good wishes to you Niko, the vet can be so scary for moms and pets as well. You dont look to chubby to us but mom says its best to catch these things early.

  16. "Heavy of normal" I WISH that was Salem's problem...that gal is FAT! Goro looks just right to me.

    Purrs for Niko's follow up to be good news.

  17. Goro, we don't see how your folks will resist your "what? No!" face, but alas, it is for the best :) we will keep Niko in our purrs for a good follow up vet visit.

  18. It's very rare that Tinker and I ever eat at the same time, even tho there are two plates. I'm always eating out of the left dish and he's on the right. We both eat out of Anastasia's dish any old time we feel like it.

    Love seeing you in flight, Goro! Sweet Niko, we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers that those vet numbers turn around for you.

  19. Dearest Tamago,
    Since your comment is a noreply-comment I will paste my reply here:

    Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedder has left a new comment on your post "{How is YOUR Blog's TRUE Presence on the WEB?}":

    Dearest Tamago,
    The point actually is that many followers do not represent what it 'looks like'. Quality above quantity; as always in life! Comments can at times look almost mechanized; one-size-fits-all. Often my husband and I have laughed at certain comments because it became so obvious that they had not read the contents of my post.
    It is always great to be in touch with you; one day we should meet...
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette

  20. Bah! The Human is trying to cut down a bit on my favorite crunchies! At least there is no pesky brother to steal them.

    We will purr and purrayer for Niko to get a good report next time! XOXOXO

  21. Heavy of Normal? Oh sweetie. Didn't you tell that vet that you really do fly? It'll be tough to cut back but just think of how much farther you'll soar when you weigh just a teensy bit less. Purring for Niko's next visit to go well!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That's funny because Harley and I like to whap each other, but when it comes to dinner we can peacefully eat side by side, too!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Goro, Oh no, the treats have been cut back. That is not good news. We need to sneak you some.
    Sorry to hear that Niko's blood work showed some worrisome numbers. He isn't very old, is he?? We sure send purrs that it is all alright.
