I'm glad you like it! I sent the file to my vet so she could check their
weight loss (I'm worried about my three who at their ideal weight losing)
and she sent this back: "Kitties should lose no more than 2% to 3% of their
weight per month." So I think I'm going to add a "percentage" column to the
file to make sure Sammy stays within the best range.

Hugs,
