I am so sorry about Hattie
The second opinion is worth the consideration since, if I recollect correctly, she is a pretty young kitty. I'm happy to hear that she seems like she isn't in pain tho

You lost 12 pounds in less than a month, so I think you can get to your goal weight (four pounds less) before May 1st. Of course I wish you luck!

The smoothies seem like a good idea. Can you add anything to make them tastier without adding too much (or any calories)? Are they filling?
