RE: OT: Fat cat

I think my fat cat Shelley is just a scavenger at heart. She and her
sister - along with mom and the other two newborns - were moved into our
house when they were only a day old, they've hardly gone hungry. The two
we kept look the same, but boy are they different personalities.
Maybe she will outgrow it. Feeding free choice is so much easier.

Can you feed the wolf in a separate room? The neurotic behavior is
likely the result of being abandoned and hungry; it may outgrow it or
it may not. I'd be tempted to give it snacks, like greenies, once in
awhile to try to convince it there will always be enough to eat.
