Cali

[mo15]

Here's some pictures of the big baby. She was originally my aunties but couldn't stay in an apartment, and we were too busy to take care of her, so now she's living at my grandma's farm.

She's a calico cat, I can't be sure of her exact age, but she's somewhere around 10 years old. She only has one eye - her other one got badly infected from a fight with another cat (a stray, we don't know whose it was) and the vet had to remove it. And she's fat, I know, probably came from being fed too much tuna at one point. She hasn't had it for a few years now, and she's quite active for her size, she'll go out and hunt things even. Anyone know any ways to knock off some weight?
Favorite things: belly rubs and a bed that looks too small

She's awesome!!! But yes, pretty overweight lol.

Here is something about cats and tuna, just in case you aren't aware of that:

Most cats love tuna, and an occasional tuna treat is fine for them,
but too much tuna can cause some serious medical problems. We're
speaking here of tuna that is marketed for human consumption: most
tuna-flavored cat foods are not 100% tuna, and contain nutrients such
as added vitamins and taurine which are necessary for a cat's health.
I've gathered some information from online sources for you.

"Fairy tales and folklore tell us cats love to dine on milk and fish,
and that any cat worth her whiskers needs at least one catnip mouse to
chase when the live ones are not around. Although these century-old
stories always stir up warm images of contented cats, many of these
"truths" about feeding and nutrition are myths. And, some are
downright harmful...

Fish is a good source of protein and other nutrients, but too much
fish in a cat's diet can be harmful. Tuna is high in polyunsaturated
fatty acids and requires substantial amounts of vitamin E to preserve
the fat. Cats fed a diet containing excessive amounts of tuna can
develop steatitis, also known as yellow fat disease."
