Do Your Cats Eat Less When It's Very Hot?
My 4 seem to. It's been pretty hot here in the Seattle area,
around 90 for the last few days. They get one can of Friskies Beef in the morning about 6:30 am and a can of Friskies Chicken at night around 10 pm. They have to be the Tender Morsels cuts or they won't touch them, picky, picky, picky. Silly cats They have 2 kinds of dry food out at all times, Friskies Indoor and Friskies Feline Favorites, in seperate bowls. Mosey 'has' to have his canned on his own plate (paper) and the other 3 share a plate. And fresh water out at all times. They are all indoor kitties. Mosey always harks up the dry foods...he's always had a funny tummy and hates it when I have to give him his daily TED prescribed Laxatone. I mix it with his toofpaste, and give it to him by mouth with my finger. I finally figured out why he peed on the bed... I put the Laxatone on his foot once and he does NOT like to have his feet touched. Period. Purrs Kyla --noting it's manicure time for them again |

Purrs Kyla --noting it's manicure time for them again Yes, definitely. the Princess Rita had me very worried for a few days, she ate so little, but then my friend pointed out how hot it was. Doh! She ate better when it cooled down. I do have A/C, but I hate cranking it up high. I keep it around 80, which is fine for most of what I do. Jane - owned and operated by the Princess Rita |

Sort of- they eat less in the middle of the day because it's too hot for them and they just want to find somewhere cool and snooze until it gets cooler at which point they surface from wherever they're hiding (Dave hasn't seen Sarrasine all day today and I haven;t seen her since about 11) and make up for lost time. In cooler weather they come out about midday for something Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

I feed mine dry food for their first meal (water added for all of them that will eat it that way), and canned food for the second. There's always dry food left when I don't think to feed them less because it's hot. Ginger-lyn |

Bear (d*g) eats less if he has been reading a great deal or if Martians have landed in the front yard. Bear the d*g cracks me up. What does he read? I got a very well read copy of 'Brighty of Grand Canyon in today's mail Martians have landed? Ruuuuuuuuun!!! Kyla. |

LOL, mine put fuzzy pipe cleaners in their dry food dishes if they're empty.
Little sneaks. Kyla "Granby" Makes no difference here, only thing that causes a fuss is if the food dish is empty. "Will in New Haven" . On Aug 6, 6:44 pm, "Kyla =^..^=`": My 4 seem to.
