Tigger has mats in his fur

But he let me brush them out. Now my trash can is full of fur. Tigger did not enjoy it and tried to bite me.


Tigger sheds.

Tigger is a fatty

We learn to evaluate the body condition score of dogs and cats in Nutrition class, basically the quick and dirty way to decide if they're skinny, fat, or in-between. This is what a body condition score chart looks like :


So Tigger meets the following criteria:

Can't really feel his ribs.
Doesn't have a waist.
Has an abdominal fat pad.

I'm sorry, Tigger, but you are officially a fatty. We're gonna put you at a 6 or a 7. And we're putting you on a diet. Several bags of "Light cat food for fatties" / "Light cat food for fatties with annoying long hair that makes them vomit up hairballs that their owners have to clean up at the most inconvenient times" - await you.
