Arrival Story: I used to live with some other people in the neighbourhood but they didn't really want me. I was sick of being shut outside all the time, having BILLIONS of kittens and being hungry, so I made it my ambition to find a better home!
Bio: Once I'd set my sights on the new people I wanted to live with, it took me a couple of years to worm my way into their home! I began by 'camping out' in their garden for DAYS on end. It wasn't too bad spending all that time outside, because they have a few bird tables & feeders, so there was always birds and mice to eat when I got really hungry.For some stupid reason they kept taking me back to the old place every time I camped out in their garden for a few days. I didn't want to go back to the old place because they were not taking care of me!! Eventually, it dawned on Blade's mum that all this time she kept taking me back and they NEVER used to come and fetch me, even though they knew where I was hanging out. Blade's mum (now my mum) didn't want me to end up having more kittens, especially not in her garden, so they took me to be spayed, then let me into their house to recover. I never looked back! No one from the old place has EVER come asking after me, even though they knew where I was likely to be. They obviously didn't care that much...but then again, I always knew that!
Now I'm very happy but unfortunately I've put on a little bit too much weight since coming to live here so I'm now on a diet.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Too early for mating or..?
I've just been weighed for the first time this year and I am now down to 5kg, which is exactly 11lbs!! I am really quite stunned with my weight loss as I've been on quite a few successful food stealing missions just recently and I've even been getting treats and everything! I was even thinking my weight might have gone back up but it didn't!
This news has come at a really good time as I know there is some roast chicken on the agenda this weekend and I think..no, I know I deserve some morsels as a reward for reaching 11lbs!
Well, I'm a bit overdue with my diet update but I have continued to lose weight since the last time I was weighed. I've definitely lost more than 2lbs since I started my diet but it's hard to be precise due to the whackness of my mum's scales. If she weighs herself while holding me, she's discovered that she can make the scales vary by at least a pound if she shifts her position on the scales. We have therefore come to the conclusion that we need new scales! I'm not going to continue to take part in this farce any longer if I don't have the necessary equipment! I will try to steal food at every opportunity from now on!
Yes, we can't believe it but I have lost one pound in four weeks due to my weight loss plan (that means eating less!). My food was cut down from 2 1/2 pouches of Chicken Oh So Meaty a day to 2 pouches a day - that's a reduction of 20% which is a safe amount for a chubby cat like me. I've also had to cut out some of the titbits and treats I was enjoying although I do still get some. Now I actually do weigh 12lbs FOR REAL! (I've been fibbing for a while).
I have to say it has been hard at times. At first my mum was bulking up my reduced amount of meat with some veg, cooked green beans or grated courgette, so I wouldn't feel like I was eating less. I was fine for a few days but then I started to reject any food that had veg in it, I would just barf it straight back up! Oliver told me that trying to purge like those Hollywood starlets was not the right way to go about losing weight so mum left out the veg and I went back to keeping by food down :0)
I have my food in 5 'mouse sized' meals of 35g spread out throughout the day at 4 hour intervals (roughly), doing this is meant to help keep my metabolism higher but I suppose that technique would be impossible for a kitty whose staff are out at work all day, unless they had one of those timed food dispenser things. I'm lucky because my grandma lives next door, so if there's no one here to feed me at the right times, grandma can come and do it!
Check back next month to see if my weight loss success has continued!
