Lovely big cat

Happy New Year. Great to see You and Max. Hugs

Hey guys!!! Happy New Year!! Give Max hugs and scratches for me 💗💗😻😻

Love you both ❤. You both look wonderful. Happy New Year!

I love Max as a little fatty. He is so darn cute. I guess I shouldn't say little since he is 51 pounds. I hope he isn't too difficult with the reduced meals. Thank you for sharing this New Year's message with us. I wish I could have a Canadian Lynx and help out an animal like him. I think it is very special work you do. May you and Max have a fabulous New Year.

Happy to see all is well with two of you. Have Happy New Year to you both! God Bless!

Happy New Year Bernie and Max, sending you a hug from Indiana

A Happy New Year to you and Max, all the best

Happy New Year!

Oh you two together are so wonderful. Bernie do what you can to keep your joints healthy. Today I'm at week four of recovery from my 2nd total knee replacement. I had the right knee done in April 2023. My right knee was a real mess before surgery. It was a difficult first few months. Well, I mistakenly assumed the left knee would be easier because it wasn't as damaged. WRONG. No sad details here. I'm getting better each day but this whole process of two surgeries in one year has been miserable. But, I'm 73 and needed to get this overwith while I still had upper body strength. So, take care of yourself and keeping the weight down is very important. I have a problem with that too, but soon I'll be more active and that will help. We all need to stay healthy to take care of our critters. Happy New Year to all. Lynda in California ❤

Thank you for sharing Max with us. He is absolutely beautiful, even with the extra 10 pounds. Congratulations on your loss of 50 pounds, that is not easy to do, and you look great. Did you ever think about hanging one of Max's toys using a thick cord or cable, that way it would be dangling and he might be amused at batting it and watching it swing when he taps it.

A Healthy, Happy New Year, Bernie and Max! All the best! 🥳💥♥️🙏 Looking good, Bernie!👍

Good evening Bernie and Max, We're ready to jump into another year can you believe it. I'm willing to go on the diet and lose 10 lbs just like you and Max. May you and yours have a wonderful blessed happy New Year. Much love, Rennie

❤

what a wonderful cat, they ,no matter the size love boxes! wishing you success in your and Max’s new year resolution. great video of max, such a wonderful lynx. love his paws!

Am envious of you Bernie, what an awesome date for New Years!❤❤❤🐾🐅🐾❤❤ Happy New Year!

Like you said Bernie when they get lazy and don't play like they used to IT IS DIET time. When I cut down my Mookie's amounts she doesn't seem to be upset. I supplement less solid food with a couple servings of broth. She seems content. So happy you both are doing well. Joy & peace to you in 2024❤

@joannaedwards6325 - Max has lost a pound. Sometimes he seems hungry and other times I have to beg him to come in for his meal. I thought the bitter cold would be hard on him, so I gave him a half pound extra. The next day, he left some of his meat. Evidently, a pound a day is okay as he has plenty of reserves on his butt! LOL

Nice to see you again Max

Beautiful Kitty ! Man those paws are Huge ! :) Happy New Year to both of you

Max is such a gem. HPN Bernie

At 51 pounds 'yikes- he's heavy!' - thinks Bernie. Still Max has physical prowess like former tennis star Tsonga or boxer Muhammad Ali. Even now at this weight Max can still 'float like a butterfly' or buzz around like a bee. Yet sometimes now Max decides just 'chilling' near Bernie makes him very very happy! Blessings , Linda

Hi Bernie and Max. I have no doubt that you will reach your goals. Best wishes for the New Year! Cheers.🥑🥦🥕👍🤩

He's stunning & soooo cute!!! Why is he alone?

@RottenAnimal - I take Osteo Bi-flex triple strength and Turmeric Curcumin. I did the 2tabs/day on the Osteo for the first 40 days per directions but have reduced it down to once a day. I've been taking the Turmeric for years. I really didn't think it mattered until I got lazy about taking my supplements and my knees started hurting. I also try not to sit for too long because they will get stiff. The Osteo was recommended by a friend. My Dr's are no help. Hope it helps for you. Be well, Happy New Year!

@Dee-vj8ig - So far so good but I did give him a little extra the other day. Oh wow, glad you are okay!

Did you hear the story about Rufus, the most likely fattest (Eurasian) lynx on Earth? He was on display in an animal park at Schweinfurt, Germany, and after being neutered and having paw surgery and thus being not able to work out much, he expanded to a whopping 50 kgs (110 lbs), becoming even a mascot for some US fast food chain (yuck!)... later, his human caretakers brought him down to about 35 kgs (77 lbs) which is still enormous for a Eurasian, not to mention a Canadian lynx! Unfortunately, he passed away soon after this... Here is a video link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqOiqNCQfLO-qZM.html

May I respectfully ask you why this beautiful animal is not living it's best life in the wild? Was it injured and you could not return it to the wild? Please could you explain why a beautiful wild animal is in captivity?? No offence intended, I understand that there can be a back story to this...

@@yadgar1969 - It is a struggle. I did and only lost because of grief and having a household of animals and chores. Now, I struggle to keep it off. It's a vicious cycle. Only those with perfect genes don't have to worry one way or the other. We still love you no matter. Max sends his purrs.

Can't classify this chonker, is chonker even valid for wild catos? Would still belly rub, 💯, I'll gladly accept the post belly rub face rearrangement.

Reducing his caloric intake by one third is too drastic I would suggest only one quarter pound, if you really feel that he is over weight, which I don't. He is getting up in age, and some extra weight is normal for all of us, human or animal. Too much weight loss could cause him other health problems, such as lowered resistance to disease. Like others have said, a lot of his weight is fur.

@carolyearsley - Max used to lose his winter weight when he was 35 during the summer and 40 in winter but was 45 last summer. He was 47 in September and that's 4 pounds of weight gain in 3 months. It's not healthy to be overweight. Yes, it could be too much of a reduction in meat, but I'll assess as we move forward. If he gets grumpy, then I'll know to add a little more back into his diet. He's not around other animals, so I don't worry about diseases and he had a good health check last year. At most, he has 2 pounds of fur.
