My cat is fat: Food recommendation and kitten update
Comments (19)I found Dr. Pierson's website 2 years ago and put our 16 lb. VERY food motivated female on an all-wet, no-free-feeding diet and she did wonderfully. On top of the weight loss, her bowel movements improved 100%, as she used to have soft, pudding-like movements quite frequently when we gave her dry. Her energy levels did a complete 180 degrees as well and she was back to acting like a kitten. She is exactly like Sarah's cat in that if you food down, she will eat it ALL and then go over to the other kitty's bowls and eat ALL of their food...and then beg for more! We knew that if we didn't get a handle on things, she would become obese quite quickly. Now, she gets Wellness Chicken or Turkey wet food twice a day. We have to feed her separately from our other cat, as she will inhale her food in 3 seconds while our male is just getting started. We also noticed that wet foods with fish or seafood are too rich for her and contribute to her getting what I call "pudding butt". She managed to trim down 3 1/2 lbs and looks great!

Comments (11)Congratualtions! Really nice home! Here is what to do 1) Remove drapes and valance in kitchen ($0). Aesthetically, you don't need additional window treatments and looks like the area is private. So, likely you can leave them with nothing. If you find later you need light-blocking or privacy, shades can be added. 2) Put a counterheight table where the kitchen table is, but move to but up against tjhe wall where the buffet table is. Move chandelier to center over table. Updated chandelier. (You don't want an island here.....will look awkard with the peninsula). Also, finding the cabintry and countertop could prove to be impossible.). 3) Paint color on walls appears to be green. Once you have the furniture in, choose a lighter, more neutral wall color. 4) When you do decorate, don't make the mistake of placing a bunch of small items (like current owner). 5) Remove light in family room and replace with can light. QUESTION For family room, will there be a tv? If so, can you show more photos of the space? (Tv will be a little challenging in this room, but where they have it....shoved it the corner does not look good). Best would likely be on the long wall with sofa on the bay window wall. Good luck! 😀...See MoreStain recommendations to update red oak floors!

Comments (17)Some thoughts: --Don't open up your wall until you do your future kitchen removation. Why would you open your current not-great kitchen up to look at while you eat? If you show us your dining area, maybe we can make suggestions about how you can make it roomier and more attractive on its own. Amending this part of my answer.. Don't paint. Follow what Palimset suggests downthread by keeping the cabinets, fixing lighting, and adding some nice wood touches to pull the existing cabinets altogether, plus rug, art, etc. --Give the eye something else to look at: kitchen runner, some art if you have wall space. Check out indoor-outdoor runners with a great pattern that includes tan so rug echoes countertop and floor. Add food art along with just a very few kitchen decor items in a color from rug or floor--utensil holder, toaster, stand mixer, oven mitts in a color. Your kitchen right now is complete bare. But no clutter, please! --Maybe consider changing the harsh ceiling lighting? But think that through so what you choose will serve you when you do a full renovation so that whatever you choose is classy enough to be seen from eventual open dining area. --...See Moredani_m08
