Mancat Monday

At the end of last month I completed a month long cycle of Prednisone for my allergies. My itchies haven't come back, so I'm very happy about that. The only problem is, I've gained weight! At the vet I weighed in at a very ample 15.4 pounds, but when I was weighed again the other day, I'm up to 16.8 pounds!




I explained to Mommy that Prednisone is a steroid and she should know that some of the side effects are eating too much and weight gain, but she is not happy that I've continued to overeat long after the medication was stopped.

We all know what a problem it can become when Mommies get the idea that you're eating too much. No matter how well you have her trained, the treat supply dries up!



With good reason, I'm very concerned.

Do these furs make my butt look too big?

  3. Rumblemum says you look even more handsome than usual (and yet she's thinking of putting ME on a diet cause I'm nomin' all the time now since Inigo needs extra feedings)

  5. Poor Samson. It's terrible when you feel deprived of food. But your health comes first. Your floofs make you look regal, not plump.

  9. Maybe you just grew more fur and that's why you weighed more? We think you look pawsome, Samson!

  16. Nay - your butt is just perfect!

    Get my mom to explain to your mom - Mom's been on prednisolone for over 6 years!

    Muahaha - I can't say the same about her butt though.

    Love, Lucky

  17. oh Samson I feel your pain! I am a "fluffy" kitteh myself! lol

    Glad to hear your meds cleared up the itchies, could it be that the meds are still in your system?

  18. Samson, we're glad your itchies are gone, but we're sorry you gained some weight! I went to the v-e-t last week and I gained a pound too! Maybe you and I should start an exercise program so we can drop this extra weight? Do they make kitty treadmills??

  22. Sampson, We Gals LOVE a nice big ManCat. Fie on treat deprivation! The important thing is the itchies are gone.
    If you want, we'll come over and playplayplay...that'll work that nasty old pound off.

  23. Dear sweet and handsome Samson, we think you look purrfect just as you are. And you're right, Prednisone does that to a kitty and to people.

    Tell her to take a chill pill....MOL

    We love y'all bunches and bunches.

  24. Samson, you look purrfect to us! Our mommy tried to stop our treats but we wore her down. Soft cries gets her every time - even at 4am.

  25. WE don't think those furs make your butt look big, at all. They make you look cuddly and handsome!

  26. Oh Samson!
    You look absolutely mancatly. My bro is on the husky side and well, I'm a bit zaftig myself. Anyway, our vet said that soft food has less calories than dry kibble. So, now we get a little bit of kibble and soft food twice a day. We wish you luck Samson...don't let the mom starve you.
    Your friends,
    Shilgiah, Tommy and Hope(the skinny one)

  27. It's obvious that you're big boned, Samson! Mommy should take that into consideration. Withholding treats is definitely not warranted!
