I know a pretty decent amount of "basic" information about how cats can be. however, I assumed way too much about how life would be with two energetic balls of fur coming into my life back in October. relatively speaking, things have been wonderful. yes, we've had to take the curtains down in the bedroom and living room, and have replaced the blinds in both rooms, and removed all of my wife's salt and pepper shakers from the "tall" shelves. with all of that, you can't possibly stay mad at them for more than 10 seconds at a time. with all of that being said, Chloe, the dark girl, has developed a slight "football" shape as you look at her from above. at just over 6 months, maybe this is normal, or maybe it isn't. she actually has a switch from left to right when she walks! this of course does not slow her down, as she plays very vigorously with her sister Zoe (pronounced Zo-ee), and her little pooch doesn't slow her down at all from jumping 4 feet from the floor up onto my counter and tables. up until about two weeks ago, we let them both eat free on the dry food pretty much all day, and they nibbled till the bowl was almost empty. then they would share a small can of wet food after 10pm, with no food again till 0600 when I'm leaving for work. Is this too much food, and should I try to get them on a schedule at this point? or am I overreacting about a little baby fat? my assumption was that Cats are not like dogs, that they wouldn't overeat, but apparently that may have been a wrong assumption, at least for Chloe.
