Cat sitter has overfed cat!!

[LavenderLxx]

We’re just back from a 2 week holiday and have found that the cat sitter has been giving at least 3 times the amount of dry food to our cat than we do!

We give him 2 tins per day (which they have done) plus a small handful of dry food (which I showed them) but when we got back yesterday evening the dry food in his bowl was enormous - at least 3 times what we give him and I don’t know how much he’d already eaten!!

He looks rather fat - he’s certainly enjoyed his all inclusive holiday!!

Oh and the immortal- I must scratch my neck on your laptop, nothing else quite does the trick...😂

It would be far worse if the sitter underfed the cat.

If you want portion control, you need to be specific and provide a measured scoop.

Actual picture of my cat when I left her with my mum to look after her - true story

as PP said I’d rather her be a bit chubby then skinny

I cat sit for a friend. The cat food is kept in a large cupboard (basically a small room) off another room. I was asked to make sure both doors were kept closed as he'll lever the doors open and gorge himself! He does his best to convince me he's starving, but I know a chancer when I see one!

Your cat has your sitter wrapped around it's paw!

Omg stop fat shaming cats!!!

Your reports from the frontline are hilarious and ring uncomfortably true @TemporarilyCantDoMyself and I can only apologise in advance if you and Marvin ever cross paths!

I heard cats self regulate but mine hasn’t got that setting. He’s got the cute setting down

He wears it well @ghostperfume6 black is very slimming!

The vet wants him to be 6kg, he’s 6.7kg at the minute! He is a BIG cat though, very tall

I would love him to pieces though. Those green eyes! 😍

Has the cat just not been eating it? We've been away and whilst we had a cat sitter she only had to do water and wet food as he has a biscuit robot, we still came home to a bowl piled with biscuits attached to the robot, I think it's a protest
