Sorry to hear Maui missed you so. After reading your posts, I'm pretty sure that's the reason. Glad to hear he's munchin away again.

When Fister goes to a pension, he often doesn't eat much for the first few days. One time he had a terrible "holiday" - at a VET's place of all! When we came back after a week, he'd lost nearly a kg. and had a scratched nose (cat fight) AND a cold. We were SO MAD!! I'm pretty sure, the vet hadn't seen him all week, when we rang to come and get him, the vet said: "He's already in the box, ready to go" - We found that very hard to believe, and it turned out to be a completely different cat! We found Fister eventually, hiding under a sofa.
