Getting Tammy to Exercise

Filed under: Purrr — Diana Condolo @ 4:46 pm

My Tammy has a bit of a belly on her and is considered a little over weight by her vet (obese was the nasty word he choose to use). So I try to get her to exercise but it can be hard work and I generally get more exercise out of it than she does. My vet gets frustrated with me and insinuates that I am not really trying so I created this video to prove that she won’t get out of her bed to fight the tickler. Oh, she’ll take a swipe at it if it comes within clawing distance but she won’t get out of bed to chase it down. Well, the upside of it is that she is toning her arms and is getting a bit of upper body workout. But the effort involved for me…well I guess it keeps me trim :-)

    You could try tying kitty treats to a string…bet she’d chase that!

    Great idea…I’ll give it a try. It might work for me too. Going to tie a chocolate to a string and see if I chase it around. I’m betting it will work :-)

    I also have a slew of lazy kitties. The only toy they will play with consistently is a certain, handmade, catnip mouse from the Menagerie on Parliament. Unfortunately these mice often disappear into the molecules (probably sent to the home planet) so I have to replace them more often than I like.
