Boika's diet going to plan

 
"I lost 400 grams in 1 month on the Jonny and Flo diet plan" said Boika yesterday evening.

After last month's visit to the vet, we've been pretty ruthless with Boika's diet, only letting her eat her special "obesity" biscuits. She seems to be getting used to the new regime, which involves letting Boris eat his normal biscuits first before letting Boika into the kitchen to eat her special diet.

Initially, she used to get a bit upset as we threw her out of the kitchen at feed times; she'd run upstairs and sulk for half an hour before finally coming downstairs to eat. But now she doesn't seem to mind and just needs to be asked to leave the kitchen... she trots out of the kitchen and upstairs for 5 minutes, before coming back down for her food.

What a very civilised kitty she is! And as a result she's lost about 10% of her original body weight, which means she's about half way to our goal... we think she should be about 3.6 kg, which is about how much she weighed when we lived in Dubai.

Once she's down at this weight, we're hoping that the new house will help maintain this weight, since she'll be able to run around in the back garden, appreciating urban nature.
