That is, he had a fit when he saw my Chewie today! I took my polydactyl cat, Chew, to my vet today to have his feet looked at and to take care of all the tangles in his fur. Chewie has 26 toes and 2 pads on each paw.

He's been limping a lot, and even though I work diligently to keep him groomed, his fur is unbelievable. Thick as thick can be. So I wanted him to either shave him or comb out the tangles.

Well...when I picked Chewie up after work, my vet read me the riot act. Chewie weighs 28 lbs.

He told me, "Nancy...Chewie is morbidly obese."

Chewie is now on a diet. Now I ask...how do you put food restrictions on 1 of FOUR cats!? LOL

Well, at least Chewie was the sweetheart he always is. Doctor said it's the first cat that he hasn't needed to anesthetize to comb out fur. Apparently Chewie laid there quietly purring and let them comb to their hearts' content! Also while they clipped his claws. His limping problem was because of one of his ugly claws. He has one on each paw. They are black, wide and flat. One was digging into his flesh, but I've been afraid to cut them too much!

Anyway, poor Chewie is morbidly obese and going on a diet.
