Reply #9: Start controlling it now. That's how Oscar wound up

[japple]

weighing 21 lbs. Now he's on restricted calorie and begs for food all the time. I'm going to try to switch him and his brother Tiny to raw food in the very near future. I think that cats (like Charley and Oscar) who were abandoned have starving kitty syndrome and they will never get enough. We need to find a way to convince them that they have enough. Maybe giving them more love and affection (and, in my case, a better diet) will help fill that hole of need.

Your cats look healthy and happy. Did Charley get the Cat-Bird's Seat on the sofa? He looks like he's thinking he pulled a number on Pad Thai.
