Morning everyone - Happy Caturday!

Thanks for all the helpful comments on my last post - I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing with the reductions, but Ben seems to be holding steady! I thought maybe this morning was going to be a bit too much, but then he took his normal "dive-bomb" into the water at +2! He's a funny guy - SO different from Darwin (ECreallyID!!)

Numbers for Ben look great! Have you had to intervene with food to keep him above 50?

He typically has small snacks at +2 through +6, but haven't had to give him any MC or HC - he's just getting his FF Classics to keep his numbers steady.

Ben is a HAPPY boy this morning as I have been working on his lion shave - his fur gets a bit matted and very stinky since he can't groom very well (or move around very well) due to his spine problems. He LOVES getting shaved!

Here is a video of him enjoying some outdoor time this morning - sweet senior boy!

Hope you are better at the lion cut than I am.

Sam is part Persian so he goes to the groomers and gets a lion cut no matter what we say. When he gets overgrown we call him The Mop or Swiffer.
I like how YouTube's algorithms somehow connect a cat to "How to remove a tree stump and have fun doing it".

You are doing a fantastic job with him. Love the video

+8=71. So pleased he’s stayed down despite finishing his lion shave, and a bath

Here’s my little porker after his shave and bath! He’s so pleased!!

That belly!!!!!!! I want to poke it!

Haha! I'm kind of a perfectionist with them, but at work (I'm a vet tech), they're typically kitties that are sedated or under anesthesia. Ben is so darn good for it, though!

Oh cool! You’re a vet tech I started as a vet assistant last July. And boy, you techs do a lot of good hard work haha

Oh very cool! Haha, thanks! I love my job so much - and, actually, I have always been a dog person, but thanks to FD, I have really, really come to understand kitties, and I'm called on to work with most of the kitties at work now - I love them!

It's great to see Ben doing so well. Love the videos. You did a great job with the lion cut.

He looks good. Great job. I can't get Olive's chest or all her belly.
