Vet visit

Precious had adventure at the vet, he was surrounded by dogs in a confined space of the waiting room. He was growling and claws came out of the carrier and dogs were barking at him trying to get into the carrier. A couple had their dogs outside. I heard two dogs had a case of rat poison. He was okay when in the office with the vets petting him fussing how beautiful he is. One said he is Maine Coon. He could be but not a pure breed, he has unknown father. Teeth good, ears good, heartbeat rapid with some panting in fear, and beautiful soft coat. I worked hard to keep it that way. Excellent health, But he is 3 lbs overweight at 18 lbs. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. He was loosing weight since last visit. I cut his food last summer, he fluffed up over winter from less exercise, and finally getting rid of his pudgy belly walking outside. Plus Frodo grabs his fair share of food so Precious can't be overeating. I cut back on the treats since moving. He is the dominant cat so this battle of the bulge will continue. And no, I won't give up, he is my baby. Later.
