Hi, I have a colony of 4 feral cats (was 5 but one has been missing for a month). They seem to be eating less now that the weather is hotter, it's about 80 and humid here for the past few weeks. There has been some cooler days but mostly Warner. They seem :rbheart:perfectly healthy otherwise, still playing, but probably a little less active then usual. Two of the cats were part of a litter, they are now about 10 months old. I don't know if there eating has slowed down too because they are not growing as much. They get fed twice a day dry and wet food, so there is no shortage of food. Thanks for the help!:rbheart:

My guys always eat less in the summer.  They don't need all the extra calories like they did in the winter to keep warm.  I often notice they don't touch their wet food dinner.  I have experienced this with all my ferals for the past 3-4 summers.
