My name is Raul and I live in Orange county. I recently got a kitten
from a family that supposedly took good care of her. To my surprise,
when I went to pick her up, I found out that she was being fed regular
"generic" cat food for adults. I brought her home and my little rebel ...

toward it with his paw, claws extended. Of course, I immediately

I've had my cat for at least 4 months now, and in that time, she has gained at
least 3 pounds.  I am single.  My cat is indoor-only and it is now winter.  I'm
thinking maybe the weight gain is because she is less active during the winter,
and maybe will be more active during summer. ...
