You have quite a voracious coonies.
My girls, on the other hand, always have food in their plate and stop immediately when they feel full.
We are still free-feeding them, and when their plates are empty they sit next to the full container and meow
but never try to break into their food storage bin.
thanks for sasha's Pic.she is beautiful..
I have three that you could trust with anything wouldn't put a paw wrong or pinch even their own food if it was on the side but Merlyn has always been a pig & would thieve,in his younger days we have let him eat until he has made himself sick thinking it would cure him but no after he had vomited one lot up back he would go for more,now unfortunately he has a bit of a partner in crime, Welly will also thieve but doesn't pig out like Merl I am pleased to say,thats why Merl is always fed seperate from the others so they can have top up food down & we know they will get it .....Quote:

I bet bless him were the last words to pass your lips yesterday!!!!Quote:

How about Glycerine laxative suppositories for overeating? It would create some room to move things down .
They are not toxic, work fast, and the size is appropriate for large Coon's butts
Goodness - there is no doubt at all that Merl must have had a veritable feast on those Dreamies - he looks enormous. Still wildly handsome, but enormous all the same. Suggest he better have a turn in Bruce's harness super quick, though judging by the size of him now it may not fit around his middle :P
Buddy says sorry xxx He is a Dreamies Junkie and has a friend that lead each other astray (oi Hector???) Buds will happily nom his way through a bag of Dreamies with no ill effects so sorry if tis causes probs with oter cats :/ xxxx
Hint to Jackie - cover Merlyn's ears:
Slightly off topic but I found a Dreamies Advent Calendar yesterday - £3!
You are right Helen it wasn't "Bless him" could have filled a swear pot up...Quote:

I can just imagine the fun of trying to shove that up his butt had problems when used to use them on humans,oh the stories that come to mind with them & the poor new nursing staff....Quote:
