Holiday weight loss

Hi, I’ve just got back from holiday, having left my 2 girls with a pet sitter coming in daily but they have both lost about 50g in the last week. Something similar happened last time I went away as well. Is this a normal thing, maybe caused by stress, I did move them to a different part of the house, or is it a bad sign? I don’t want to think badly of the sitter as she seems very nice but it seems a big drop.

I am not one of the experts but 50g isn't too concerning. Do you give in and give them treats and snacks when you are at home? If yes then it's likely that the lack of these is the reason.

Thanks fluffysal. It might well be a treats thing. I try not to give too many but the girls can be hard to resist.

I don't understand why we find it difficult to say no to these little creatures when they beg......
