She went on at great length about just how bad this is for cats. Talked about how they get less and less active and it's a downward spiral of more lethargy, more food, more weight...leading to less activity, which leads to more boredom, which leads to even more food...and more weight.
The vet said when you look down at a cat they should have a waist. She told Michael off about it.
At length.
In front of people.
She then took a plastic food scoop, dramatically swiped a line on the side of it with a Sharpie, (in front of everyone in the waiting room), handed it to Michael, and explained the line indicated the shockingly tee-ninetsy amount of food she felt Ella should eat in a day.
