Hes 1 of 4. The other 3 are of normal weight, all spayed and neutered. I think Charlie just got the fat gene. You should see him run, I mean waddle, waddle.:lmao:

I thought fat guys were supposed to be jolly?

Did you call cat911?

Wow that was quick. Thank you!! Ok here it goes.... I have 2 cats who are 4 years old. We are having problems with them waking us up in the middle of the night. We have locked them out the room and put pile of pillows against the door so they wont scratch. That didn't work. My husband bought 2 baby gates and stacked them on top of each other at the end of the hallway. Well you guessed it they climb over them and started scratching at the door at 1am. My husband told me that if we can't get them under control we are going to have to get rid of them. I told him there is NO way we are getting rid of them. I had them before I met him and they are my babies. What can we do?? Thank-you all!! I am very sad today cause of this.

Don't you have another room your husband can sleep in? Then you can have your cats in bed with you. That's the way it's supposed to be anyway. :bubble:

Are the used to being in the room with you when you're asleep?

If so, it will take time for them to adjust to not sleeping with you. Is there a reason they are not allowed to sleep with you? I have 7 cats and 4 of them sleep with me and my husband.

I would think that letting them in with you and letting them sleep in the room with you would be the better solution.

I don't know what to tell you about the scratching. But if they are used to sleeping with you it just takes time for them to adjust and hubby should be more considerate, you were theirs first!

How about buying a dog crate for them. Maybe you could crate them for the night :shrug:

I have told my husband over and over that they need to adjust, but he wants to see results right away. They have always slept with us but they have started scratching at our dressers like at 2-3 in the morning and waking him up. He wants to put them in 1 of our spare rooms at night, but I know we will hear them running around. I just don't know what to do....

That's ridiculous. Get a spray bottle and spray them every time they jump on the bed. They'll leave you alone.

I think they would kill each other. Plus I would have to put litter box and food in their, it would be all cramped up.

Either

A) Put your hubby in the spare room

OR

B) Get rid of your hubby!



My work is done here, I'm beat! :drama:

Get two crates. Large dog ones would do. Don't you think it is better that they are cramped at night than getting rid of them:confused: Let them roam the house during the day for exercise.

Can't you put them in a spare room on the other side of the house? Surely there has to be a simple solution....

We stick our cat in the laundry room at night and close the door. He'll bang around in there for a bit, pissed off, but eventually he goes to sleep and EVERYONE sleeps well. He had a habit of meowing loudly outside the bedroom door at about 2:00 a.m. every night.

This here is your best advice. :yeahthat: Open the door and let them in, tell hubby if they wake him up, there is another room to go to sleep in. Tell him BYEBYE and have a nice night. Hell adjust. Just like he says the poor kittys will.

THANK-YOU ALL for your help!!!! I will let you all know tomorrow what we are doing. He did call me up this morning and say there is no way he could get rid of them. He was just in a bad mood. I told him I know there is know way we were getting rid of them.

How about ear plugs for your Hubby and these (http://www.softpaws.com/) for your cats?

Now that is funny!!

this is what my beloved Fatty cat Charlie did first thing this morning. Oh, by way, never hold your cat while hitting the garage door opener, they dont like it.

Yeeeeeouch! :faint:

has a 24 1/2 inch waistline. TIA

Heres the best I could get. BTW, thats a pretty large end table fat boy is taking up space on.

Yeeeeeouch! :faint:

Amen sister. did you notice he just missed the vein. He also managed to stick one claw poke in my throat. At least I didnt need to call 911

Okay, had to measure when we got home. Our "full-figured" girl, who has been on a diet, measures 25 1/2 inches around. The problem, her paws are regular cat sized. When she jumps in your lap, it's like having someone shove spikes through your legs. And she is a very loving cat!!! Here she is...

By the way, she was NOT happy about wearing the dog's Chrismas dress :whistle:

OOh, fun! I'll measure Tucker!! :clap:

Its really hard to get a good picture of Charlies fat belly cause hes all black. But I can say he is not saggy fat like your kitty (BTW,veryprettty) he is solid. His tummy is like a rock. He does crunches:lmao:

:lmao: She really isn't as flabby as the pic makes her look, but she is big. She was getting up off the floor and I just happened to snap the pic at the exact right (or wrong, depending on your viewpoint) moment. We had a black cat years ago that looked sort of like yours. I love black kitties!

Tucker is a lightweight! :lmao: He's only 20". His flabby flaps are deceiving. :lmao:

You know what's really funny? When we measured Ally yesterday, I also measured my Son's (who is 24) waist. His was only 2 1/2" bigger around than the cat's!! :roflmao:

Dont give up, keep on feeding, your in the running.:lmao:

No way! He's lost several pounds since he's been going outside. I'm liking the new, leaner him.

He lets me do anything to him - put clothes on him, a harness, trim his nails (he loves pedicures!). He's a perfect, handsome boy! :dance:

3 of mine would slice me ear to ear :duel: if I tried that. Now Elvis, he might let me do something to him, hes pretty laid back.
