To be honest, the only reason he is fat, we were virgin cat owners and George ended up being feed too much over a 6 months period.

Me & my partner thought the ear piercing meiow 'I am starving too death.. I need food now... No One has fed me in hours' was honest.

We have now caught on !! so we are simply giving him less food (checked with the vet first) and laugh at his wails.

But George is a little actor. If I feed him and my partner arrives home (Or vice versa) and enters the kitchen.. Off George goes 'I've not been fed ever.. noone loves me...feed me now' and if I reenter the kitchen and look at him, he cuts-off mid moan, licks a paw, then walks off as if he was never asking for food, in the first place.

What a cutie.
