Things Ion Does for Breakfast

Ever since I've had Ion, he's been a big cat. When I adopted him as a six month old kitten, he weighed almost 8 pounds. He has a big bone structure, for sure, but there is no denying he's a bit overweight:

Jabba the Cat?

I have had several veterinarians advise me to put him on diets over the years, and I've done that (on and off) with some success. We are currently in a 'cats are on a diet' phase, which is good for them in the long term, but it is really pissing them off in the short term. Every morning, about an hour before I want to get up, I get pressure for breakfast time. I do my best to ignore the pleas, but I'm a very light sleeper. Toby's approach is to lay directly on my face, purr loudly, dig his claws into my neck, and drool. Ion, however, has employed slightly more creative techniques to annoy me awake. He...


... moves food bowls into direct path of my morning shower...


...removes lady products from the bathroom. chews on them....


...attempts to rip mirror off the wall...


...destroys my blinds. lounges about admiring handiwork...

He's clever, right?
