Olivia is still eating on her own, and usually eating her good wet canned food though she wishes she could eat nothing more than kibble and cheese all day long.
Well, no on the kibble other than 10 kibble bits a day and absolutely no on the cheese which we have discovered causes her not so pleasant bowel problems. Okay, she gets runny poops. And we know milk products aren’t good for most cats. Why Mom was sharing cheese with Olivia is beyond reason. She says it was that sweet, begging face that made her do it. Cleaning up the aftermath has hardened her heart.
See? This is the “please give me cheese” look. Add in a soft, outstretched paw to this and let’s see you not want to give her just a pinch. This cheese-less thing got a whole lot easier when Mom stopped buying cheese last month. Truth be told, Mom doesn’t need cheese either. Don’t listen to her when she proclaims, “Cheese is LIFE!” because it’s not, despite what Olivia says in agreeance.
We’re keeping tabs on Olivia’s weight and Mom was pretty excited to hear Olivia was up to 7 pounds, and by excited we mean skeptical. Sure enough, that 7 pounds quickly turned to 6.4 pounds when weighed again. Someone’s thumb might have been on the scale.
C’mon, Olivia, let’s add another pound or two. You can do it, and you can do it without cheese.

Good luck Olivia! I love strong English Cheddar, the genuine cheddar made in Somerset. I have cut back on that recently and know how hard it is.
Mmmmm, cheese…..! My favourite. Luckily it doesn’t have a bad effect on my tum!
Olivia, we’ve begun to feed Sweetie multiple times a day, to keep her weight up.
Luckily, Da Boyz are not allowed the her suite, otherwise they’d eat it all!
Our Celestial Chuck liked to lick apple cores, and The Hubby coined a term for the aftermath of those events: bubblebutt.
Olivia, please gain some weight. XO
Olivia we send purrayers and Power of the Paw to you to stay strong, eat well, gain weight and survive without cheese !
Those pleading faces are impossible to resist!
You can do it, Olivia. We know cheese is awesome and all, but you don’t need it. Eat up, sweet girl. XO
