I'm so proud of you and Violet, I love hearing that her personality or lack of has done a complete 180. I can't believe how great she looks, she's like your very own miracle. She has definitely earned every beautiful picture taken of her lovely lady figure. I'm so glad her previous owner chose you and your husband, Violet couldn't have gone to anyone better than your family.

Thank you so much! We love her so much and so did her old owner however she wasn't there main focus when the new human baby arrived. I keep in touch with them via email and they actually sent her a happy birthday email yesterday. I am very glad they chose us!!!

It's good that you stay in contact with them, but I'm glad she went to somebody willing to put her first especially to help her lose weight. I love when previous owners tell them happy birthday, it's always a good feeling.

Yes, I love hearing from them and I have shared mile stones with them and lots of pictures. They loved her enough to know that they weren't putting her first as they should have. We talked for a week before she came to us so I knew a great deal about her and the situation so we were both conferrable. She is a amazing kitty and I have to say she has found a very special place in my heart. We have a VERY close bond. I have never had a bond with any animal like I have with my 4 Sphynx but my bond with Violet is totally different.

That is always great to hear. I know how you feel my furry boy kitty was actually to the point you could feel his bones when I rescued him 4 years ago. He has become the main little man in my life and I couldn't see my life without him. He's now happy and healthy, it's such a great feeling when you know that you helped do that, and I know Violet loves you just as much as you love her. I'm glad they knew they could give her a better life, and I'm so very glad it's with you. She definitely seems like a happy, healthy little princess now. :)

No worries I am always happy to talk about Violet :) She turned 12 yesterday
That is a magnificent turn around, especially for an advanced kitty. I'll have to keep that in mind when people bemoan their shortcomings, complaining that they're "too old" to improve. It takes work; we just need self-discipline and control.

It is so great to see that you loved her enough to want her to be healthy and around for a long time. What a majestic lady she is. What a great meowmy you are as well. All the continuing best for you all. Thanks for sharing the pics and the story.

I have learned we are never "to old" to improve out quality of life. You are so right in it being work to get Violet to a healthy weight but I am so in love with her that it's some selfishness on my part that I want her as long as I can.

@curlysue wow what an amazing transformation. My baby needs to lose a couple pounds and right now we have him on royal canin special 33 but am considering switching to the simply nourish. You mentioned that you took them off that and I was just wondering what you are currently feeding your cats?!!
Thanks so much!
