  5. How much do you feed them and what schedule? They don't really have a schedule or a set amount, lol.

  1. How old is your cat? - he's 16

  3. How much does she/he weigh? - 16 pounds
  4. Is he/she overweight? - no, he's a big, muscular cat

  9. Cat's name? -  Bubba
  10. Comments/thoughts? - the vet is very pleased with my old boy.  He's in tip top health, his eyes are bright and his teeth are in great shape.  He's still agile, but mostly sleeps during the day.  At night he prowls and I find him on windowsills, looking out.

CAT QUIZ:

(Raxy)

  1. How old is your cat? pushing 5 years
  2. Male or female? Male
  3. How much does she/he weigh? 10 pounds
  4. Is he/she overweight? No, but he has that little Lazy Neutered Male Paunch
  5. How much do you feed them and what schedule? I feed him half a cup of dry food (morning) and half a can of wet food (evening)
  6. Do they ask for more food? Raxy always acts like he is starving to death! Meal time is his favorite time, and he tries to insist that meal time is ALL the time.  He is very vocal about wanting to be fed, but if I fed him every time he tried to convince me that he's famished, he'd probably weigh 20 pounds. 
  7. Brand of wet food? either Petguard or Wellness
  8. Brand of dry food? varies (whatever high end, byproduct-free minimal grain kibble is on sale)
  9. Cat's name? ...Raxy
  10. Comments/thoughts?  Raxy (originially named Rascal) has really come out of his shell from when I first acquired him from a woman who was moving and chose to no longer keep him.  He used to hide under my blankets or in the closet all day and was fairly aloof to me.  He started trusting more and more and jumps up in my lap often and sleeps with me at night.  He is a bossy but very good natured cat, with a beautiful shiny black coat and huge bright green eyes.  His character really enriches my life.

 

(Moki)

  1. How old is your cat? 3-4
  2. Male or female? Male
  3. How much does she/he weigh? probably around 10 pounds now; he was 13-14 lbs when I rescued him
  4. Is he/she overweight? not anymore!
  5. How much do you feed them and what schedule? (same as Raxy)
  6. Do they ask for more food? No, Moki is quiet and easygoing; not so concerned about food and doesn't gobble his food quickly like Raxy
  7. Brand of wet food? (same as Raxy)
  8. Brand of dry food? (same as Raxy)
  9. Cat's name? ...Moki
  10. Comments/thoughts? I wanted to get a second cat for Raxy to play with.  I retrieved Moki (originally named Smokey) from an overcrowded shelter in an adjacent county that was about to euthanize him.  He was apparently a surrender due to a child's allergies, and was the cutest roly poly furry black kitty with huge feet and big amber eyes.  I could tell right away that he was more of a cuddle bug than Raxy.  When I brought him home, I was dismayed to discover that he had a pretty bad case of FLUTD.  It finally cleared up with some antibiotics, subcutaneous fluids, and switching over to watered-down wet food exclusively for awhile.  He hasn't had any problems since.  I also was able to help him bring his weight back to a healthier number pretty easily.  I'm so glad to have found him; he and Raxy are buddies.  They play together a lot, share the same windowsill in the kitchen, and both sleep on or next to me at night.  I am grateful for my two happy, healthy boys!

  10. Comments/thoughts? Bella rules the house although she is younger and smaller.  Cali lets her get away with it.  Cali only likes me, she tolerates my husband because he feeds her in the morning, but doesn't like him to touch her.  Any time we have visitors, she hides under the bed.  Bella, on the other hand, greets visitors at the door to see if they are worthy of entering her house.  She adopted my husband when she first came home, but also loves me.  Sometimes she torments Cali by getting in my lap first, knowing Cali won't get in my husband's lap.
