We think Photon is bulimic. He *loves* food. He *loves* food so much that he eats and eats and eats and eats like a little demon. Then he throws it all back up. This is standard for orange and white cats, but I think he needs counseling anyway :) At least he isn't manic-depressive like Vespers, with her ever changing fur styles (her back leg has a mohawk this week) and spiky, bitten nails (I'm not kidding). Then again, maybe she's just goth.

I'm going to revise the DSM-IV and declare Vespers Manic-Paranoid.
ReplyDeleteI miss Verspers. I don't have many evil/psychotic cats in my life these days. =)
ReplyDeleteNah, Vesp isn't evil. She'd like to be though...
ReplyDeleteYou're right on the money there, Anna. I swear, sometimes I see her trying to work up some evil mojo, but she always falls short and ends up with cranky/sulky mojo instead.
ReplyDeleteAnd because I'm spacey and pressed "post" before I meant to, to lindsipedia: HI! I can't tell you how nice it was to get your email yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteVespy is "evil curious."
ReplyDeleteThere's only one cure for Phot, though....small food bowls. He'll beg like mad, but he won't founder himself all over the place.
Note, that this was the former home of Rudy, the cat who loved to taste food twice, so we've got some really SOLID experience on this... :)
Crow used to eat like that so I would give him little tiny bowls of food, too, until he stopped. He can have regular bowls of food now, though.
ReplyDeleteVesp is definitely evil curious :)
ReplyDeleteAs for food bowls, that's a really good idea. If it worked for Rudy and Crow, hopefully it'll work for Phot, especially if we can keep Vesp from poaching....
Vesp is lazy, a few additional meals will make it work. :)
ReplyDeleteBesides, all we gotta do is staple her head to the carpet and there's no way she's getting Photlefont's food. (c:
ReplyDeleteShe does bite her nails though -- I've heard of overgrooming before, but a cat biting her nails is freakish.
She might have learned that from me :)
ReplyDeleteBannon totally bites his nails and it is because he was too little to leave his mom when I got him (she abandoned him) and so I sort of became mom, and when I am stressed I bite my nails, and now he does, too. And the funny thing is, if I am stressed and start biting my nails, he will, too, so I will stop and so will he. He does it when grooming, too, though, so that might just be a coincidence. ;)
ReplyDeleteAh to feast the beasts. I revise my previous statement and substitute "evil curious" as, I agree, it's a fairly acurate descriptor! =)
ReplyDeletePS Hi back! There's another e-mail coming your way... about a million things have changed in the last seven days. It's uncanny.
