Where are all the pet parents! Has your new lifestyle impacted them as well? Do they help you exercise? Are they emotional support animals? Please post pics and stories about your favorite furry friend!

I technically have a cat. She's 10 years old and when my we got her, I was still living at home. As much as she loved me, she was definitely my mother's cat, and after my mother died, I had to take her to live with my friend who has a more than enough room and a landlord that allows pets. She hates me now, and I understand even though it makes me sad when I see her (usually three times a week.

However, she is still my mothers baby and my little fur sister and she is named Wilhelmina Felicity Biggleswade

I don't think my cat is impressed with my new lifestyle as he sits in front of the oven expecting to be served food however I don't think I have used my oven more than twice in the year since my op, now it is air fryer or slow cooker if cooking. Guess he misses his oven cooked chicken 😂

I know he missed me (his servant) while I was in hospital for so many months with my post-op complications as he has been so affectionate and chatty since I was finally released last November. For weeks I felt he would go into panic mode if I grimaced and had a bit of pain but I presume he was just afraid I would not be home to serve him!

My boys don't like it lol I don't have any of the "good stuff" to share anymore. And I'm more active, so there's no laying around all day with them like I use to. And there's less "padding" for them to lay on. All in all, they would like to speak tot he manager about the unacceptable conditions they are now forced to live with lol

My boys (Finn on the left, Guinness on the right) love all the long walks they get to take. And are particularly fond of cleaning up mom’s leftovers since I don’t usually finish the food on my plate :)

oooohhhh you have opened a can of worms!

i show strangers pics of my cats on my phone. yep, i'm THAT person.

our kitties never knew me fat so they dont know the difference.

besides messing around with my food sometimes, they do tend to anchor me on the couch. when they fall asleep on my lap, i don't have the heart to disturb them, so i just sit there and get Mr. to fetch me stuff.

"i always feel like somebody's watching meeeeee"
