[net.pets] Cats' appetite

walsh@ihuxi.UUCP (12/07/83)

I have two male cats who are 6 years old now. Just this year (summer)
their appetites have diminished drastically. I always fed them two packets
each (the normal serving) of moist cat food each day. They used to clean the
bowls within minutes! They've never been finicky; I've fed them various foods
and always vary the weekly diet with hard, moist or canned foods. Now, 
since summer, I'll come home from work and find most of their breakfast
still in their bowls! Even the FAT one, who used to attack his brother's
food after finishing his own, has stopped wolfing his food! I've tried
changing their food, but it makes no difference. 
 Is this just normal because of their age? Has anyone had similar experiences?
(They're house cats and neutered).
