Let Me Digress

I am aware that most people visit this site to follow the development of the newest addition to our family but this is a family blog, and we had 2 children before Jim-Jim miraculously joined us. Bailey has aired her thoughts on the blog, but Chloe remains to be mentioned. Chloe is a big-boned girl. Once Jim and I moved in together after getting married and our family became blended, I invoked a rule that Chloe needs to once again attain her feminine figure. She was feminine but "blob" is not the figure I had in mind. Moreover, cats have a propensity to develop diabetes and buying insulin for a cat was not on my list of things to do. Chloe went from being free-fed to being fed 1/4 cup of food twice daily. Was she happy about this? Absolutely not! She has voiced her concerns to the point that she has driven Jim and me to our breaking points! There's nothing worse than a cat's meow grating on your nerves first thing in the morning, reminding you that she has been deprived of food ALL night. Luckily, we reached our breaking points at different times so the one who still had willpower to resist the demands of the cat bolstered the will of the one who was prepared to cave. Look at the fruits of our labor!
