The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with MyMackersRewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. You're not going to believe this. Okay, well you probably will because it's actually quite a normal thing to happen. But we'd sent Rolly to the vet. Aaron took Rolly to the vet for just his annual jab.

Oh, yep. Right, hates it. Poor thing. Do they do it where they, have you seen them give a jab, they scrunch the neck and they're like, jab it into the skin.

How else do they do it? I don't know, but it's just... Do you want the cat to sit back and relax in a chair and go into the elbow? I don't know, it always just seems so ruthless. Like, imagine

if you went in for your vaccination, your flu jab, and they just grabbed a bit of the fat of your back or your neck and they're like, oh, that was the fattiest bit. I reckon that's where they'd do it. Because it's just going to be under the skin, right?

Unless it has to go like into the vein. But that's more of a blood take. I was going to say, if they did the fattiest bit, it'd go into your butt. But they do do some into the butt. The only reason they don't do it into the butt is they'd have to go through the pant and you'd have to drop your trowel. And so the public places... Through the pant.

They can't go through the pants with a needle. So they go in your arm. That's why you have to roll your sleeve up. Otherwise, they could totally do it in your ass. They always really struggle to get mine because my arms are so muscular. Yeah, of course. A lot of fat there. It's pretty shred these days.

Anyway, he went to the vet, and the vet fat shamed him. It's fucking... It's 2023. Oh, my God. They do this all the time. Where do vets get off doing this? It's 2023. You can't win, though, because our goats were fat.

Imagine being fat-shamed as a goat. I mean, how embarrassing. All you're eating is grass. I don't think I've ever seen a fat goat. Dude, I was just like, well, your goats have that. But the vets, they do not stop eating. They're like pigs and Labradors. Yeah, right.

And golden retrievers. And the vet was just like, the goats are fat. Effectively, you imagine walking and you're so fat, it starts separating your fingernail from your finger. It's called laminitis. Laminitis because it pushes down and the hoof starts separating. So that's the big thing. And they're like, if that's showing, then the goat's too fat.

So how did you put your diets on a shred? Sorry, your goats on a diet. Goats on the diet. We were shredding. We were shredding. I left out the main subject. Well, they saw the R&V line up this week, and they were just like, well, obviously it's time to get in shape.

No, you just give them less area. Fence them off a little bit. Right. And take them into the grass and then put them back in the area with a little less grass. But yeah, all of our animals have been fat shamed, apart from our pigs, ironically. Your pigs are in great shape because you don't feed them endless, people feed them meal and pig treats.

Pigs don't need that. Well, our pigs don't, they just need grass. The poster in my vet's clinic is a British Shorthair, the same breed as my cat. Because they've got that thing the birds eye view and you look down and they shouldn't go like that. And Rolly does a little bit, but to be fair we've ruined his life this year and we'd give him

a little extra food. But I wouldn't have even thought he comes close to fat or overweight. Get this though, right? How much does your cat weigh? He's in the sixes. Yeah, Rolly's like 4.5kgs. Oh my god, that's nothing. He's so small. My cat does retain a lot of water and have big bones. Oh my god, that's nothing. He's so small. He's a small cat. My cat does retain a lot

of water and have big bones. Oh yeah, okay, that's what it is. We've got an enabler over here. He's big boned. We've got a parent in denial. Do you think vets ever look at the owners and they're like I see where they get this from. I would love to

hear from if there are any vets that listen to the podcast. You can post this in our podcast group. I would like to hear from if there are any vets that listen to the podcast. Yeah. You can post this in our podcast group. I would like to know if as a vet, it's harder to tell a fat human that their cat's fat. Yeah. You know, because then you're kind of having a go at them too. Yeah.

In a way. They may or may not take it that way, but I would, as I was telling them that their cat was fat, be like, and then look up at them and then see it in their eyes and be like, ugh. Yeah, well. But I could tell a skinny human, no problems that their cat was fat.

So are you taking your cat to City Fitty now? No, I'm not going to. It's Kitty Fitty. Oh, Kitty Fitty. Kitty Fitness. No, we're not going to take him to Kitty Fitty, but they suggested, because we just have a- Period time fitness.

Like an old- Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, hang on. You could need a good one for Les Mills. Yeah, there's one in Les Mills. There's one for Les Mills.
