    I noticed that too. Tatja seems to be in a renewed growing spurt (she's 13 months now) and eats more than she's done for a while. El Monto has been eating somewhat less lately, and puts on less weight than he used to. And little Minnie I shouldn't really call 'little' anymore... boy, does she eat! She hoovers up her food in a matter of seconds and then tries to jump onto the kitchen counter where the others are trying to eat in peace.

    Why are MCs so greedy

    A day short of his 3rd birthday Shimba has had a week of not eating,he never eats that much anyway but has been a noticable drop,wondered if he was poorly but still playing & doing all the normal things,then,yesterday he went to get into his hammock on the cat tree,it has always been a fairly snug fit for him but suddenly it is just about a no,no,he has suddenly grown again,can't believe it,it has made his bruv Welly seem more of a minature than ever,I would think that will be the last spurt,just fill out time now.Don't know why I hadn't picked up on it earlier,at his monthly weigh in last weekend he had dropped weight & he has always done that when a growth spurt was due......

    I'm wondering if Sylvester has any growing left to do. He's certainly filled out and lost his bony feel but maybe he will grow a bit more...
    Dudley has put on 0.5kg since we got him just a few weeks ago but looks to me to have almost doubled in length!! I guess he'll be growing quite rapidly at the moment.

    Oh and now I simply CAN NOT eat pate on biscuits- Dudley just will not let me. Talk about tenacious, that cat is crazy!

    Walter does the same. I love having him in my lap -- usually. But if I'm trying to eat he is constantly trying to get at my plate. I grab a bite and then hold the plate over my head where he can't (yet) reach it. The other day I was trying to spread a relish on a cracker whilst using my forearm to fend him off my plate -- it did not work so well and I won't try it again!

    Walter is 20 weeks old today. I'm trying to attach a picture taken last night.

    Mine are the same, especially Monty. He is an artful and brazen thief. He has very long, slinky and stealthy limbs which he puts to good use, and before you know it...it's gone! Right in front of your eyes! Eh?? Ah yes, Monty is under the table, making his victorious growling noise....

    I am sure Sylvester has more growing to do.....

    Minos eats only very small meals, our meat or fish doesn't interest him.He is almost outside raging after everything.There is always food for him but he is not so interested.His weight is now over 20 lbs.
