GLP-1s in some ways have given me my life back. I’m so happy I no longer dwell or fixate on food the way I used to. My health has improved. I can do exercises, sport activities that I couldn’t do when I was obese.
If we can help obese cats stop fixating on food too, I think that could be a good thing.
But it also raises some questions to me. Obese cats could be the fault of it’s owner not stimulating the cat with enough playtime, but perhaps not every case.
I feel bad that a cat would have to go to a vet every six months to get an implant in them. I wonder if an injection or oral supplement is an option for cats - or if an implant was preferred because humans may try to obtain GLP-1s for themselves using their cats.
Also, the only way I bonded with my mother’s cat was with churu treats. If her cat didn’t crave treats the way she does, would we still have bonded? When her cat escapes the house, one sure way to get the cat back in the house is to bribe it with treats. Would that stop working?
Obesity in pets should not be celebrated. It’s a sad thing.
“You might be [at your kid’s] soccer game, but you happen to look at a few emails,” Morris says. Maybe you’re chatting with your boss via text while waiting for an appointment, or tying up a few loose ends at work before you put the kids to bed. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a workaholic who lacks boundaries — rather, you find ways to combine your personal and professional duties that work for you, instead of being strict and inflexible with your time.
OK but Walmart retail staffers clock in and clock out with a time card, and require to be on site to fulfill their duties.
“If I never take a holiday, the tone that I set for everybody is, don’t take a holiday — you can’t do that. And I don’t think that that’s right,” says Morris. “As leaders, we have a responsibility to role model what we expect of others.”
Oh how generous of this person to take a vacation. Do they pay their Walmart retail staff to take a vacation too?
