Default Hunnnngry!

just random thoughts.
-my cats eat a LOT more when the weather gets colder or is bad, like
tornado/storm warnings.
-sometimes we confuse hydration need with food need, and since it is colder
and your heat is probably on more, making the air dry you probably could do
with more liquid, even if you are drinking the same as you always have.
-and this last one susan will probably be better able to explain, but much
in the way that many people never eat breakfast and go almost all day
without eating or being hungry, once you start eating, especially if its out
of your routine, your body gears up with digestive juices to do the business
of digesting... don't think i explained it right, but hope it makes sense,
