"OTTAWA, Ontario (CTV News) - A Canadian cat has become a TikTok star as he works to slim down from weighing 43 pounds.
When Kristine Seguin, the director of the Ferdinand and Friends Animal Rescue Network, rescued a cat named Axel Biggie Smalls, she put him on a diet and exercise plan.
“He was 43 pounds when we took him in, so he was four times the size of the average cat,” Seguin said."

“I’ve fostered hundreds of cats, and he’s just like a toddler. He’s one of mine now, so he’s part of our family,” Seguin said.
The hope is for Axel to lose another 10 to 15 pounds over the next year.

Actually I’m going to keep all of them. I saved momma from the desert and she trusted me enough to deliver her first right in my lap. I’d feel like I betrayed momma and her kids if I gave them away and broke up their family. This is their home.She ^^^ Is Def a "KEEPER"...
More of the “Wild Bunch”…
What are Their names...?!?
Don’t have names yet. They go to the vet soon…then they’ll get names.
You can still Name Them, the vet won't do a sex change on Them...!!!
Sometimes it takes a bit of time to give a name to a cat/kitty
It took me a little while to do
I did give them (my cats) individual name by ..
their *character...the *color ..the way they were acting
*personality*

How many Males vs Females? How about (according to the 'sex split'..) Ginger, Mary Ann, Gilligan and Skipper! (and 'Mom' can be Lovey..) If ya need More Male names, well... ya've still got P'fesser and Thurston, either of which, I submit, would make Fine rascally male-cat Names.
Conversely, if ya need More Female names, well.. I suppose 'Lovey' could get opted by one of the Grrls... and then Mom could be 'Skipper' (I mean, hey - it's 2024, no one will Question / Crit that..

I know Sweetie, I'm just pulling on His Chain, those Kitties are B U T Full and I would have named Them by their 3rd or 4th week... Post #253 will give ideas for names tho...!!
When BushieBooBoo had her 3 it was easy to name Them... The Girl was Her Mini-me and I called Her "Sassy" as She would hiss at the other 2 while She was by My feet... The small Black one was "Crash" as he would go running and slide on the tile floor into anything in His way and the Big Black one I called "Scraps" as He was always at the food when the others were finished...
I had to give Them Up as the Landlord said no more cats, that Hurt more than just about anything at the time, I Loved Them and couldn't keep'em...! I called the loco ASPCA in North Miami and the Girl there assured Me that all 3 were Adopted the same afternoon that I dropped Them Off... They were Great Little ones... I have pics on the Hard Drive that I can't get into...

Curly, Larry n Moe and the Calico Girl : Patches...?!?More of the “Wild Bunch”…
The last flea infestation we dealt with , we used Revolution for cats. Expensive, especially with many cats, but it works. The dog Teddy is on a monthly flea/tick/heartworm etc pill since he is the only one that goes outside.Curly, Larry n Moe and the Calico Girl : Patches...?!?
For ALL of You that use those red laser pointers :
^^^ "I get really frustrated because I can’t catch it, and I live for the hunt. So if you’re going to use a pointer, please sub in an actual toy at the end so I have something to catch and kill. It makes the game worth it. Otherwise, get your laughs from a cartoon cat in the comics."

There’s no question that if you keep me inside and don’t let me wander the neighborhood…
…whether I’m a dog or a cat, I’ll have a better chance of living a longer life. I won’t get hit by a car, stolen, or just plain lost. But once I’ve been allowed to roam free, it’ll be hard to change me."
