Cute cats. Is there anything that says "this place is warm and safe and comfortable" more than several cats relaxing like that?
I hope he's none the worse for his little disappearance act awhile ago. Did you ever find out where he went? And is his ear o.k.?
I have two Siamese cats that are elderly (in their early teens) and I can NOT keep weight on them. They're both rather gaunt - I feed them constantly, whenever they ask (which is frequently). High quality canned cat food (Prairie premium diet) with dry food (AvoDerm) down free choice. I also treat them with ice cream, eggs beaten up in cream, morsels of steak, etc.
Wish I had that problem!
My dog is so active that she stays slim - she gets 1 cup of dog food a.m. and p.m., plus whatever doggie biscuits she can extort by doing tricks.
We walk 2 miles every other day, and 4 miles every other day, on the days when she's not competing or going to doggy class. (Agility class is the equivalent of running wind sprints for an hour or so. Retriever class lasts all day, and involves repeated 75-100 yard sprints and 50-60 yard swims. I get plenty of exercise in agility class since I have to run WITH her - in retriever class I stand at the line and shout "Good Dog!" But I do carry ducks back out to the bird boys on foot instead of by 4-wheeler . . . )
