< Line Eater > My cat's appetite has gone wacko! She used to be satisfied with 1/2 a can of Friskies, 9-Lives, etc. in the morning before I go to work and the other 1/2 when I got home. NOW SHE'S ALWAYS HUNGRY. She goes into the trash and tears apart anything that remotely resembles food...So am feeding her more thinking she will fill up and quit. Not so. Do cats' appetites change? How much should I feed her? She will be 3 years old around Christmas and is very active and very healthy (except she's a porker!). Help!!

Also, is it possible that your cat has been messin' aroun' and is eating for 2 (or 8 or 10)? Tom Crawford amdcad!amd!tc

She started eaing the dust bunnies off the floor. Now I have a cat who jumps on my face in the morning and I have to be much more fastidious. My roommate is not pleased by the prospect of a feline vacuum cleaner who barfs dust/hairballs in random places. Time to break out the Petromalt. There aint no justice. E ***** PS. I am operating under lots of line noise. Pardon any typos.
