ZM's Fletch, Vaughan & Hayley: Fletch, Vaughan & Hayley's Lil Bitta Pod - 15th October 2023

You say you'll never join the Navy.

Never track storms in the Atlantic.

Or skydive as part of your commute.

Joining the Navy sounds crazy, saying never actually is.

America's Navy, forged by the sea.

Fleshwater and Haley's Little Bit of Pod.

Treat yourself to McAfay coffee with my Macca's rewards.

Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod.

I don't believe this.

OK, well, you probably will, because it's actually

quite a normal thing to happen.

But we sent Rolly to the vet.

Aaron took Roy to the vet for his just as 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, pfft.

Jab it into the skin.

Why not?

How do they do it?

I don't know about it.

Do you want the cat to sit back and relax in a chair

and go to the elbow?

I don't know.

It always just seems so ruthless.

I can imagine.

If you went in for your vaccination, you flew jab,

and they just grabbed a bit of the fat of your back

to your neck, and you're like, pfft.

Ow!

It was the fattiest bit.

I reckon that's where they do it.

Because it's just going to be under the skin, right?

Unless it has to go into the vein.

But that's more of a blood-tasting.

I would 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 of the 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 arse.

They always really struggle to get

because my arms are so muscular.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, yeah.

And a lot of fat there.

She'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 like our goats were fat.

Like, imagine being fat-shamed as a goat.

I mean, how embarrassing.

All you're eating is grass.

I didn't think I'd see a fat goat.

Dude, I was just like, well, your goats have that.

But the vets just like, 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.

And it like, effectively, you imagine walking

and you're so fat, it starts separating your fingernail

from your fingernail.

It's called laminitis.

Laminitis, because the push and push is down

and the hoof starts separating.

Yeah, right.

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?

So your goats on a diet?

Goats on the diet.

You were shredding.

I left out the main.

Well, they saw the RNV lineup this week.

And then we were just like, oh, obviously, it's time

to get a shake.

No, you just give them less area.

Fence them off a little bit.

And like, 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.

Yeah.

They're like, your pigs are in great shape

because you don't feed them endless.

People feed them like meal and pig treats.

Pigs don't need that.

Well, our pigs don't.

They just need grass.

The poster in my vets clinic is a British shorthair,

the same breed as my cat.

Yeah.

Because they've got that thing, the birds I feed when you look down,

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 4.5 kgs.

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.

OK, that's what it is.

OK, we're going to enable her over here.

Oh yeah, sorry.

We've got these big bones.

We've got a parent in denial.

Yeah.

Do you think vets even look at the owners and they're like, 100?

I see where they get this from.

I wonder if I would love to hear from a theory vet

to 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

than a slim human.

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 was telling them that their cat was fat.

And they look up at them and then sit in their eyes

and be like, yeah, well.

But I could tell a skinny human.

No problems that their cat was fat.

So are you tanking your cat to City Fittie now?

No, I'm not going to Kitty Sock, Kitty Fittie.

Kitty Fittie.

No, we're not going to take him to Kitty Fittie,

but they suggest it, because we just have a-

Peer time fitness.

Like an olf.

Yes.

OK, hang on.

Right, then.

Go on for Lizmills.

Yeah, there's one in there's morse.

Instead of jets, it's just cats.

Lizmills, Liz.

Liz.

It's a hard one.

It's coming.

There's a hard one.

Liz.

I mean, legs, mils, but that could just be-

You're good to speak, it's a steep day.

If you're thinking about that, it was good to meet.

Man cat.

Cat.

Oh, is there something called fleas.

Fleas.

I mean, fleas is a bad thing for cats, isn't it?

Fur mills.

Fur mills, not bad!

Not bad, not bad!

Not bad, not bad!

Yeah!

But then you might as well go, purmills.

Yeah, exactly.

And then you've lost the purrs.

What about snaps?

Snaps, scratch.

Scratch, scratch.

No, I'm not taking him to the gym.

He can just be fair.

Fair enough.

It's 2023.
