This Couple Adopted A 33 Pound Cat And They Are Now Helping Him With His Weight Loss Journey
Mark Wilson and his girlfriend Megan Hanneman started their own business to produce various pieces of furniture for indoor cats to promote activity in them so they don't lay around and be lazy all day long. Even though they already had two cats to help them test their products, one day they decided to adopt another cat so they visited the Humane Society. When they went there, they immediately felt a connection with this giant cat named Bronson, but since the Humane Society was very busy on that particular day, they couldn't get the chance to see him in person. When they went back to the Humane Society the following day, a member of the staff told them that all they knew about Bronson's past was the fact that his owner passed away. However, since the cat clearly has a weight problem, they think his late owner fed him a lot of table scraps. The cat being overweight had no negative impact on the couple, though, since Bronson was very friendly and adorable, and once they petted him, they couldn't wait to bring him home. The couple also found out that he has very unique features such as his extra fingers or his paws that oddly resemble their home state of Michigan. After taking him home, the couple immediately took Bronson to the vet. They learned that obese cats such as Bronson need to lose weight slowly or else they can get fatty liver disease which is extremely fatal. The couple had to change Bronson's diet three times since they adopted him but finally managed to find the perfect diet for him. His diet now consists of the dry food that the shelter had him on and some grain-free wet food. Along with his diet, the couple also had to change his exercise routine a couple of times. Bronson now has an Instagram page to showcase his incredible weight loss journey and he managed to get more than 13,000 followers in only two weeks! His followers are supporting him in his journey and giving him some advice along the way. Check out the gallery below to see more of this gentle giant!
