cats are like people different metobolic rates and all that, i have a six
pound cat that ate as much as the one who weighed 21 lbs, weird i know but
there you have it.

My vet is pretty much in favor of dry food with canned as a treat, the
favorite treat at my house was friskies tuna, once at the store they were
out so dh got the nin lives... tuna gourmet? right gourmet must be better
right? not according to my cats, evey bit of the scrambled egg bits were
left in the bowl, lol, Lee
