      It will be so worth it... my childhood cat has been slowly but surely losing weight (my mom and younger siblings have been working with the vet to manage his weight). Now he is finally a healthy weight, and even though he is a senior, he is more playful and energetic than he's been in years! He is so happy and comfortable now. I will say, depending on Max's age, he may get loose skin. Just like in humans, the skin can have a hard time adapting to significant weight loss and it may not shrink with him. My childhood cat has extra skin. It doesn't bother him, just be mindful when grooming.

      The best way to do it is talk lol
      Cats see us like they're an owner and we're just pets, and owners like when pets response to them when they talked to them, like meowing or barking.
      In this case, if a cat is meowing to you, and you meows back, it makes the cat confused
      It feels like when an animal is talking back

      ​@@tempinformalit is, when they're babies, meowing is considered as crying to cat. When they grow up they don't have to cry anymore because they can hunt themselves but that's for wild cats. House cats still cry because they know it's the only way to call the owner aka their pet, meowing back when they call you to a cat is just like you tell your son to come to you then he come and start crying for no reason.

      The cat I live with is way more blaze. You can brush his teeth/put fingers in his mouth without issue. He gets annoyed at rough kids or pets but he never even growls let alone hisses. He's only ever clawed anyone cause he was startled/slipped, he is actually aware his claws hurt me. He also is aware I hate when he brings me dead lizards, so he brings me live ones and let's them loose inside. 🤣 better than dead but a bit annoying after lizard 5.

    I know he's a chunky boy, but the fact that he is so friendly and open to belly rubs and petting tells me he is a friendly cat and had an owner who loved him very much and spent a lot of time with him and loving on him. At least that's my theory, I would hope he wasn't abused, but if he was and he's still such an incredibly lovely boy he must be an angel on earth.

      And for a moment I didn't even question it. I thought maybe your horse was injured and your cat loved it so much it wasn't in the mood for belly rubs. And it's so absurd I can't stop cackling.

    We had a 20 lbs cat. He wasn't fat, he was just so dang long and tall. He was FOOD MOTIVATED to the max. He figured out that he would get fed at 5pm when my dad came home from work. So at 4pm, he'd cry at me, and cry and cry, so I'd fed him. An hour later, he'd cry and cry and cry to my dad, as if I'd starved him. My dad told me I really needed to start feeding him earlier. I suddenly realized how long this had been going on and I just stared at this cat. Clever boy....

    So incredibly cool to see how his entire body language changes depending on mood. Before the bath, he looked "normal". And he even wanted some belly scratching/rubs. After getting dried, I could see how he was more or less in a defensive stance continuously, tail curled right up beside the body and *that facial expression*. And no more belly rubs. He was clearly so pissed, that he denied treats only further showed just *how* mad he was.

      yep plus the fact baths stress out cats and it isn't recommend you give your cat one because they can wash themselves unless its for medical reasons. for example your cat has no Toung and us uncapable to groom themselves then that's when you step in and give them baths and stuff.

    I have a big boy too! He is slowly losing weight and the only way we can tell is that he is becoming more active, he doesn't really look smaller. At his last vet visit, while he was exploring the room, he laid down for the vet and showed her his belly for belly rubs. We were all blown away. Max kind of reminds me of him.
