Re: [Felvtalk] Furry Laura update & ?'s
My Tucson is a big cat but still a bit on the heavy side but you know, if she doesn't feel well, she instantly stops eating... Not only does it give me a signal something's wrong but that extra weight gives us a bit of time to figure out what's going on. Of course, she's a bit of a fusspot and what's going on could be she has an upset tummy, has hairballs, is annoyed at something or other--But she's had a couple of episodes where her white blood count really went down low and she wouldn't eat much of anything for a few days; again having that extra weight helped get her through it.

Re: [Felvtalk] Furry Laura update & ?'s
JMHO but a good appetite is a good thing. So many if the problems we face affect appetite. She is eating a good diet. Unless she gets obese I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: [Felvtalk] Furry Laura update & ?'s
I agree with you 100% Laura. If she's enjoying her food that much she must be feeling good and if she gets fat so what. We wouldn't want to stress or upset her by taking away food. A far worse problem is trying to force feed them when they're wasting away.

Re: [Felvtalk] Furry Laura update & ?'s
I wish Dixie had been a little larger weight wise. She was so small that anemia and the resulting dehydration took her very quickly. A little extra weight might have helped. Unfortunately, Dixie was very good, as most cats are, at disguising health problems. And you are feeding a good food.
