Mr Mo goes on a diet

It has been a long winter, and a few of the cats around here are getting a little plump.  Mo is getting positively portly!  At 12 pounds, for his small frame, he is a couple pounds overweight, which for a human would be the equivalent of 20 pounds.

Of course it is their owner who has been too willing to comply with their requests for more food who is to blame.  Mr Mo specializes in the ankle dance; Miss Nimbus is the one who is very loud and vocal.  But when she also stands up on her hind feet and waves a front paw in the air, alas the cuteness is too hard to resist.

I saw a story on Sunday Morning about people who walk their cats like dogs.  Could this be the way to encourage Mo to lose a little weight, and a way to have Miss Nimbus be outdoors without hunting birds?

One cat was shown wearing a cloth harness called the Kitty Holster, this looks much harder to wriggle out of, it makes me wonder if they come in white?  Time to go feed said cats.
