As for his name, initially, Charlie named him ‘Spartacus’ because she believed he was a warrior. Nevertheless, his playful and goofy nature didn’t match the name, so we renamed him Keith. Charlie chose the name after the comedian Keith Lemon since our furry friend was also a source of endless laughter.

I’ve noticed that Keith looks like he’s slimmed down! Can you share the story of how he managed to lose some weight?
Keith has been struggling with his weight for a while now. From the tender age of one, he weighed 5.5kg and was put on a strict veterinary diet. However, it seems like he never lost his appetite and continued to eat excessively. Whenever we try to restrict his food intake, he gets stressed out and falls ill. He used to go outside and scavenge for food in bins, which made him even more sick. Even when we switched him to an indoor lifestyle, his weight kept increasing, and we couldn’t seem to get to the bottom of it. Despite many expensive tests, his vet believes he may have a pituitary gland issue, but the risk of putting him through an MRI and anesthesia is too high. Our main goal now is to prevent further weight gain by keeping food away from him and slowing down his eating. Keith is still a very active cat, so we’re always coming up with new ideas to help him maintain a healthy weight.
