    I wouldn't worry too much. A vet actually told me that cats will generally eat more in the cooler months than in the hotter months. I've really noticed this with Pearl. Most of the time they all eat like piggies though.

    If you need to generate more heat for yourself, you need more caloric intake to have the calories to burn! As long as no one has a weight problem, I would not worry about it.

    Same here with my 2 pupsters. I can't say they eat more, they just get a good normal appetite back, since they get off their feed in the hot summer months.

    To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
    Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.
