Hello,

I've got 2 cats. I live in Quebec, so we do get cold winters.

Both cat are indoor cats: they used to go outdoors, but some of our
neighbor complained (and to an extent I think one of them poisoned one
of our cat a few years ago, he got REALLY sick). Anyway, bottom line,
for the past 2 years, they haven't really got outside (except when they
escape, which happens once every few months, sneaky guys :-))

But for the past 2-3 weeks, they started eating much more than usual. I
mean, before, we gave them a reasonable amount of food, they'd leave a
bit in the bowl, come back later for a snack, etc. Now, for the past 2-3
weeks, they empty the bowl one-shot and they ask for more. We don't
really give them more, they're already a lil overweight. But it's
getting annoying at night, my brother is the one feeding them and they
come to bother him at night; we tried feeding them just before he goes
to bed, but they still do it.

Are they putting on their "winter weight" so to speak ? Is this normal ?

Mathieu
