Luna's stomach has been getting fatter, and she's heavier. Whatever is going on is happening quickly because she's heavier now, than she was at the beginning of this week. She's not a big eater, so she isn't over fed. She does run around and play with straws, she does exercise every day. There's no way she can be pregnant, she and Midnight are both spayed and neutered. She's an indoor only cat. No other cat has been inside the house, so she couldn't have caught something from another cat. I don't think she's in pain, because I've been touching her stomach, and she isn't meowing or biting. She hasn't been sick. No changes in her litter box habits.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book -
This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a... -
This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly.... -

. She might just be getting too many calories and now that she is a year old, it is catching up on her. Presley has done the same thing recently. He has ballooned out and I have cut him back a bit on calories. Now, if her tummy is getting really round and a bit bloated like an overblown balloon, a vet visit might be in order. How you can tell: Pick her up under her front legs and hold her up in the air so you have a good look at her belly. If it is a VERY large, round looking balloon sticking out, then I would bring her in to vet. How much does she weigh? How many calories is she getting a day? She should get about 25 calories per pound (this also depends on the type of food you are feeding - the amount of calories per pound could go up depending on the quality of the diet). If she is still playing, eating, drinking, using litterbox as usual, and acting herself - I don't think it is medical. I just think she might be getting a bit plump in her "old" age
Love 
to you and Luna
