Was Sydney an older cat? Wasn't that the big black kitty? too sad, and to have it happen while away...my heart goes out to you. I probably missed the thread announcing this sadness - I've been busy and not on line as much the past few months. My condolences

Ritz does not have other health problems and is a very active kitty - while she does sleep the typical cat hours, when she is awake she wants to play and run (and is only a little over 2 years old). She is indoors only. The vet believes her weight is fine


This is a "random" act. While we do feed her on a schedule, she does not go for any length of time without food. IN fact, she seems to know how to "ration" her intake based on our timing, (morning and evening)there is always a little kibble left in the dish when we put out more...this is just something that she will do periodically.
