That is, until I got my second cat. She just plain likes to eat. It makes me wonder if critters sometimes eat for the pure pleasure of it? Also makes me wonder if commercial critter foods are laden with calories ... too many ... just like a lot of our foods. <br /><br />I found you through Kat Magendie's blog ... your blog is just great.
