Tabitha's frail frame shocked shoppers when she stopped by the downtown Metropolitain Market. "It just looked like all the meat had fallen off her frame. Her knees were really jutting out and she had no butt," one person who saw her told Oh My God Seattle. "It was so sad and scary."
And it's no wonder. Pet fitness expert Edward Malbee, author of The New Tuna Only Diet and Have You Tried Chewing Clean Litter?, pinpoints Tabatha's weight at between 5 and 7 pounds, almost less than 4 pounds what he recommends for a cat of Tabitha's stature.
Friends are beginning to worry, too. "Tabatha doesn't like to advertise her problems, and she's quietly dealing with a lot right now," one pal tells Oh My God Seattle. "Her inner stresses about one squirrel in particular are showing, outwardly, in her weight."
What's bothering her? According to the friend, Tabatha, 4, sometimes suffers from feeling insecure and emotional, which affects her eating. To make matters worse, she's been going through a rough patch with her owner, Beverly Stratton. "They have been arguing a lot," says the friend. "This just creates more problems, because when she has issues in her relationship, she ends up starving herself."
