Hi everyone! You are probably wondering why this post is titled Tubby Tuesday.
Brody has been getting quite tubby. My hubby calls him Stubby because he does have short legs and a full body. I was going to make him a vet appointment because I know I don’t feed him enough for him to gain that much weight. I was wondering if he had a slow thyroid like me, but then my hubby caught him in action the other morning. I keep Phoebe’s food on a high cupboard in the hallway. I didn’t think anyone would go up there because it is very narrow, but I was wrong. He was up there wolfing down her grain. She likes to eat during the night so I keep it available because if I start opening containers , everyone will come rushing in and expect a snack. I am guessing he has been doing this for a few months which explains his weight gain. I know keep it inside the cabinet.
Oh, poor Brody. He probably still has a fear of being hungry. You take such good care of everyone though. Hugs.❤
Yes, he probably does. I know Sammy and Joanie do too. XO
When it comes to food, some kitties are pretty sneaky… right, Boodie?
(Yep, she’s a food stealer too.)
I wouldn’t have guessed Boodie, I would have thought it was Binga. 🙂
Dat would explain da weight gain.
It sure does 🙂
Boys seem to have a never ending stomach. I know I do!!
They sure do, especially Sammy and Brody. XO
Hahahahaa! Good job, Brody!!!
You could maybe get one of those chip-reading feeders who’ll only open when Phoebe wants to eat? They’re pretty expensive though.
I have seen those and wanted one for Snowball because Sammy always tried to steal her food. I don’t think Phoebe would use it.
Hahaha clever cat ! I can’t control weight with my cats, because when they are hungry and don’t find anything here in the house they go to the neighbors who also have cats and eat there. The neighbor cats do the same so i never know who ate what and when ! I once left an apple cake on the table to cool down, the next morning I found one half all over the kitchen the rest was in Arthur’s stomach ! I had never thought that he would eat apple cake !
That is funny they can go to the neighbors. Very naughty about the cake, mine would probably lick it, but not destroy it 🙂
Well, at least you don’t need a vet visit to explain his weight gain now! We are feeding Chuck lots if little meals, abd he’s been holding his weight, which is exactly what we want! But Snacker Angel is also nomming, and she’s a bit zaftig now.
I am glad Chuck is holding his weight. Angel looks like a good weight too.
This is why i had to put the whole house on diet food!
Several of mine need a diet.
Have you been sneaking midnight snacks, Brody? You and I have a lot in common, then!
He sure has been sneaking midnight snacks. 🙂
Oh…ahahahaha! That is hilarious. Oh, Brody…you are cute 🙂
Thank you, he is a cutie. 🙂
That would explain a lot.
It sure does. 🙂
Brody, you are a smart and sneaky boy, but you sure are busted now!
He sure is 🙂
Sorry Brody, you got busted pal.
I sure did 🙁
Oh, Brody, my love, tell your mom to stop picking on you! You are very handsome and mancatly. -Leia
Thank you my sweet Leia, I would never steal your food. XO
Mee-you Brody dude mee iss happy yur livin with Lady Ellen an getting along!! BUTT mee NOT happy yur eatin mee beeluvved Phoebe’ss speshell food! Pleeze try not to as shee needs it to keep her kids….wait…kidneyss’ healthee.
Many fankss, yur furend Siddhartha Henry =^,.^=
Brody is sorry 🙁
The kibble is always better in the other food bowl 🙂
I never truly understood the difficulty with two (or more) cats – with two diets (quantity and contents), until we adopted Ellie. She eats everything and it will be hard to limit her intake without Bear being affected.
Don’t worry, Brody … you are still a handsome devil!
That is funny that Ellie can out eat Bear 🙂
Isn’t the other cat’s special food better than what I get?, Brody asks.
Yes, a little better 🙂
Hahaha~bummer for Brody, no more snacking on Phoebe’s food. But I guess it’s good ’cause now he doesn’t have to go to the vet 🙂
I am glad he doesn’t need to go to the vet. 🙂
🙂 boomer used to do this; we could never figure out how dai$y stayed so slim ~~~ ♥♥
Poor Daisy. XO
MOL Brody’s no fool, he can sniff out da nummies. MOL He purrobably went without fur so long, he’s still a little scared it’ll all be gone tomorrow. We’re just glad he’s okay. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
I think that is why Sammy and Joanie are food obsessed too. XO
Brody is cute but if you want him to lose weight exercise him more and maybe try him on some food for weight loss and if you don’t want to do than grain free food might help. Good Luck
Thank you, I do feed grain free.he should lose some weight now.
Brody you are my kinda man…where food is concerned I find a way to get to it.
Hugs madi your bfff
MOL! 🙂
When my Mom saw the title of this post she thought you were talking about HER! MOL MOL MOL! Love, Cody
We would never do that. You are naughty Cody. 🙂 XO
If your vet thinks Brody’s obese, he will make recommendations as to food and volume. Sometimes extra weight can be a life-prolonging providence–as it was with our late Coolidge when he became hyperthyroid when he was already a severe diabetic.
I think he will lose weight now that he isn’t eating all Phoebe’s food too.
MOL! At least you figured out what he’s getting tubby!
Yes, no vet trip needed.
Alright Brodie! You little sneak you! Hey – a guy has to eat when he’s hungry right? Too bad your Mom figured things out.
Hugs, Teddy
Actually it was Dad that figured it out, but I am glad he told me 🙂 XO
Oh naughty herd babe! But so yummy! lol
MOL! 🙂
Busted! I’m glad you figured this out. Take care!
Thank you, I am glad too- saves us a trip to the vet.
Where there is a cat will there will be a way MOL
Timmy and Family
Very true 🙂 MOL!
So you’re a climber, eh Brody? That’s where the good stuff is. ?
He sure is a climber 🙂
Sneaky little guy! Good detective work though 🙂
Brody may be making up for all the time he was outside and didn’t get enough to eat.
That is true.
Can Lexy join you for Tubby Tuesday? Don’t tell her I said that!
Sure, we won’t tell 🙂
We don’t have any kitties around here who would do anything like that. *points to Ashton*
MOL! 🙂
But Miss Ellen, it sounds like he is getting his exercise by scaling up high to get to the food. Maybe it is just a little extra insulation to keep him cool during these hot summer months?! Tee hee hee.
That is a good point 🙂
Tubby, not not stealth enough to avoid getting caught with his nose in the kibble bowl! Hopefully he’ll shed the extra weight.
He should now 🙂
Oh dear!
Mum has to make sure to pick up any food we do not finish as Julie will eat it.
She is a solid kitty and mum and the Vet want her to loose a bit 😉
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
Same here, Sammy and Joanie will eat everything in sight. 🙂
Around here, TBT has to be careful of how much food ta put in each bowl and then watch us carefully while we eat.
Same here, but I didn’t think anyone would go up there. 🙂
Yup…that used to happen here too…but Pipo slimmed down with grain free food.
Now he tries to nosh the doggy noms…
I hope Brody will be just fine…if only a tad plump…wait, I meant portly! MOL!
That is funny that Pipo likes the dog food.
Stealing each other food, everyone has a sisfur or furbrother (Yes, I have Fientje & Silverte to watch)
That is so true.
