Pancakes on their minds…

Gustav (Gus to his friends) and his brother Klaus came for their annual checkup this morning – and nearly broke the scales! Between them they have put on 1.5 kg in a year.

Their diet hadn’t changed much since last year…. or so I thought until their family divulged a deep dark secret.

The family used to make pancakes and leave them covered with a tea towel on the bench overnight so they could have a quick breakfast each morning.

Until one morning all that was left on the bench was the tea towel, a few sticky crumbs and two sleepy cats. Fortunately they hadn’t added maple syrup!

Pancakes have been eliminated from the cats’ diet and they are on kangaroo meat and low fat biscuits. The family are moving into a house with a yard soon and plan to build an outdoor play area for the cats. More exercise, less food and no pancakes should equal slimmer, more active and healthier cats. Smile Gus!
