This is Bernie, whom many of you have already heard about. He is the latest member of our “pride.” We adopted him through S.T.A.R.T. (Save the Animals Rescue Team) in New Jersey. He was at a pound in Paterson–apparently his owner had died–and brought to PetSmart in Paramus for adoption. He resided there for about two months: everyone loved him but they were concerned about his weight–24 pounds. I guess that made him hard to adopt, and the fact he wasn’t a kitten; he’s five years old. We are keeping him on the lower calorie food he was accustomed to eating, Hill Science Diet “Perfect Weight.” He seems to have lost some weight, mainly from being uncaged and playing with the other cats and going up and down the stairs. I also think he was depressed, but he isn’t showing any signs of that now. All good!
As you can see he is quite the looker and loves to pose for a photograph. This song is in honor of Bernie. He’s too sexy for his fur, wouldn’t you agree?

He does look good, and 14 pounds is not an insurmountable amount of weight to lose. I think he wants to be a model.

We are hoping to get him down to 15 pounds or so. I agree!

He will enjoy bathing so much more at 15 pounds. 🙂 He is stunning at his current weight though.

He’s such a sweetie. The last two cats we adopted were “older”. They seem to really appreciate the new home. I’m not sure what happened to Snoops, but it took a while for her not to be skittish (especially around men). But now she rules the roost.
