It's Mardi Gras!!!

Happy Fat Tuesday!! In this picture it may look like I have been indulging in excessive ammounts of yummy fish (and lizards) but - SURPRISE! - the picture was taken just over week ago, at the very start of my diet.

Last night I had an official weigh-in. My dad did the maths and it turns out that I have lost over 5% of my body weight in 9 days. If I were on the Australian Biggest Loser this season, I would have won the weigh in - by a HUGE percentage. Maybe the contestants should have Mommy and JerJer control their diet.

I wasn't planning on having a weigh-in but I ended up at the emergency vet last night and vets are all fanatical about taking measurements. They always need to know how much I weigh and what the temperature is like inside my bum. I question their methods.

Anyway, the reason I ended up at the emergency vet was because I kept having weird hallucinations about needing to pee. Mommy got worried because I was in my litter box trying to pee about every five to ten minutes. The first thing the vet asked was if I had been hanging out with boy kitties. I wish! I still don't have a single boyfriend in our new neighborhood. After the vet took all their measurements, I was given a shot of an anti-inflammatory. I seem to be all better today. Thank goodness!! If I kept having hallucinations, I was going to have to go back to the vet today.

I still need to lose a little bit more weight but Mommy says that I don't need to lose it so fast.
