Beau Nugget The Cat Starts His Difficult Weight Loss Journey | My Big Fat Pet Makeover

I'm Rick Jernigan and Valerie Jernigan and we have a cat named Telephone. We incite everyone who comes into our house and says, "wow, your cats are bigger than your dog, yes, we say, yes, that's right, there's a phone I get, here's a little boomer throws some bone out of chicken. At most he loves food and constantly cries and tells me he's hungry. You want more food so I'm afraid if he gets too big he won't be able to make it past his pet door. He chases me to ask for food. I don't fill his bow at night, he comes to his room door and knocks on it all night and keeps me away, but I think he knows when he bothers you are going to feed him, but yes.

It bothers me I won't feed it so it doesn't bother me my own egg. It's a very happy cat. It seems like Rick and Valerie are confused about who's in charge. I feel like Bo is running the show here. don't worry, yeah, he eats inside the kayaks, that's his buffet face Max is a buffet space so Bo can get it from the floor team. Oh yes, he can, but I'll admit it some mornings when he's begging for food from him. I actually pick it out and put it in the kayak. I didn't know, he's fine, so what I do is I go out in the morning, he's really hungry and he drinks the big full drink, we completely fill the ball, he's fine and stuff.

This is how he eats, he's fine, so he left the food in the bowl all the time, so how long will it take him to do it? Actually, you can finish it in 12 hours, he's fine, so this would be his morning feeding, this morning. feeding and then do one more. I do one more at night because I don't want him to wake me up in the middle of the night. The food is good, so in one day we will see something like that for mr. bone

nugget

is probably a lot, probably equivalent to about two birds, don't you think?

Ducks, maybe you know, what if I told you that this is the right amount for a cat that should have its average

weight

per day? I think I would start with that many bone

nugget

s. You should not eat more than one cup per day. Valerie has been feeding him at least four times that amount. It's not even the size of a wild bird. You would have to hunt to eat. So with what effort? Does Bo really look for his food that much? Let's go back to the house. Okay, there's no doubt that Bo Nugget is very over

weight

, but before he can set healthy goals for this family, we need to find out exactly how much he weighs.

Okay, so he lowers his head. platform, yes, normal sized cats, a healthy maximum weight for a bone nugget would be 14 pounds. Well, no, I think if he doesn't want to go in, he'll come out fine, let's see what shapes the bone nugget has. Wow, wow, wow, twenty-three point five pounds. Wow, so it could be more than twice as long for Rick and Valerie to understand the seriousness of the situation. I really need to stress how much they are overfeeding Bo. I have a way to show them in terms that they will definitely understand if This pizza was the only thing you had to eat for an entire day.

Could you eat all this pizza in one day? In fact, I think I could. So you worked on the first pizza, let's say you finished it in the evening. Could you have another one? maybe I can take a bite, oh please, okay, so if you didn't have a shut-off valve and someone gave you all of this in one day, you would eat them all, who else in your family doesn't have a shut-off valve? closing? some worm bone, phew, his portion was at least four times the amount of what he should receive. This is the equivalent of what happens to Bo every day.

It's sad, he must feel miserable. I mean if he had one of these and a couple pieces of another he doesn't act miserable of course he plays all day how do we know when you're miserable and sick? what are you doing? I lay there all day mm-hmm I don't want to Do anything that makes me want to cry, I could be doing that and feel miserable instead of happy. One of the solutions as part of the health and wellness plan I'm going to put together for Bo will be this really fun cat toy. fill it with food and this will be the actual portion you refer to at the beginning twice a day and if Bo nugget wants his food bad enough he will hit this little ball and the food will just come out, it's a great idea and one more.

For you, I made a custom cat tree to put on the wall that will help him work to get food from him. It's very exciting. I'm looking forward to the next time I check in to see where we are. Okay, cool, okay, that's cool. thanks the first time i was here bo is very overweight when Valerie was holding him she had to put him down after less than a minute because he was so heavy when he fell she just ripped him off he was like this donut lying on the floor. I hope you continue with this and I was able to lose weight today.

Travis is coming to see us and I'm really excited to show you my progress. I'm excited to see Bo. Is he around here? Well, yeah, I bet it's the first time he sings the bow, I don't think he looks that different, but Rick and Valerie are convinced that he's lost weight. There is only one way to know and that is to put it on the scale. You're ready to see the bow bend, yeah. We lost two pounds, he had lost two pounds, but that means the scale is moving in the right direction, which means Rick and Valerie finally agreed to what I asked them to do.
