How my cat got skinny

Yes, I swore my blog and twitter feed would never stoop to conversation about my cat, but for this thought I make an exception.

This summer our cat has lost (I’m guessing) a 1/3 of her normal weight. Unless she’s suffering from an undiagnosed illness, here is what my wife and I can make of it and what I draw from it.  Our cat has spent nearly the entire summer outdoors.  Aside from sleeping indoors on most nights and coming in the house 27 times a day to spend a few seconds getting one bite of food before meowing to be let back out, she’d been outside. 

My takeaway points:

1. Be outside as much as you can. 
2. Run around a lot. 
3. Chase things for fun.  
4. Lay down when it’s really hot, but don't come inside.
5. Come in at night to get good rest. 
6. Snack through the day but don’t eat big meals. 
7. Run around some more.

See you outside.

My cat needs this advice. He currently weighs more than my 6-year-old daughter...
