I'd say Gryff needs to 'grow a pair' if I hadn't had them removed

Now Arthur is joining Madoc in stealing his food!! He just retreats when they approach. I have to stand guard. When I do, Gryff goes back to eating so I know he's not backing off because he's full.

I think tonight I'm going to TRY and feed Gryff in the sun room. It has a glass slider door so he won't feel too isolated.

On the bright side, Arthur is growing by leaps and bounds. I just don't want him to grow quite as much as his portly big brother. Madoc is a glutton. I'm now doing extended laser light sessions with him so he will get some exercise and burn off some of his tubby.

I'm glad your crew will chase the laser light foe exercise.

My senior rescue looks at me as if to say "don't infantalize me!" As her butt & belly increase in size.

that’s a good idea putting him in your sunroom to eat. I had a pair of cats like that. Oddly the more timid one would be the one to push the other one (who was definitely not timid) out of the way.
