SEVEN!

DSC_2644

 The wee one has been hovering just below seven pounds for a few weeks now. I'm been anxious to see her roll past it, so I've been weighing her everyday. Well, yesterday she did it!

Wylla Stout weighs seven pounds!!!!

SEVEN POUNDS!

And this makes us very happy!

This time last year, she had just hit five pounds, so she really has made great progress in the past 12 months. You can definitely feel the difference when you give her a hug. There's more girth, for sure.

Onward and upward, not-so-wee Wylla!

  1. Congrats! What's your secret? My cat has slowly been dropping weight for a while. Even switching to yummy wet food doesn't help much. I see her eating, playing, demanding to be fed and all but she doesn't seem to gain any weight. I don't see her being sick, she just doesn't have much of an appetite and doesn't like certain foods.

    1. Have her thyroid checked. Had a cat who did the same thing.

    2. I agree with Sam: have he thyroid checked. Also have her checked for diabetes. I had a cat that dropped a lot of weight. He was diagnosed with both hyperthyroidism and diabetes. AND - - he did very well after he began his medicine, so take heart.

  2. Wylla looks like she is balancing uneasily on that scale. Kind of like when I have to get on the scale after a weekend spent cooking and baking....
    Seriously though, I am so happy she is doing well

  5. Hurray for Wylla! Glad to hear she is putting on weight. Has she gotten any longer or taller?

  6. Yay, Wylla! Soon you'll have to get a different scale, since she may well break the 8 lb mak.

  9. I think Wylla will surprise you but it will take time. My brain-damaged cat looked like she'd never reach six pounds. She's now about eight pounds. It took years, but she grew. Good luck and best wishes to all of you!

  14. Yay, Wylla!! You now weigh more than my Peanut (named aptly), who has never been over 6.75lbs in all of her 18 years.

  15. Putting weight on means Wylla's food is getting down her esophagus and into her tummy. Yippee!!!

  16. Hoooooooooray !!! Now she's really outgrown your scale :-)

  17. Yay! Go, Wylla Stout! Grow, Wylla Stout!

  18. We have two wee 7 lb cats, too! They're so tiny and cute at their full (yet diminutive) size.
