Hi,
I'm new to kittycam.net and was wondering if your kitties are indoor or outdoor (or both) cats?
thanks : )

Kris,
Thanks for writing back! I asked about them being indoor or outdoor out of curiosity and because I'm wondering how they stay at such good weights.
I recently had to start cutting back the amount of food I was feeding my 2 cats, not just refilling the bowl when it was empty, but instead giving a measured amount every day. Are you as regimented with your cats? Do they play a lot together or does Finnegan just eat more than the rest of them? ; ) (His little cast is so cute, btw!)

We do free feed the cats so I can't be sure why Finnegan is so much heavier than the others.
Stormy is the real "beggar" in the family. Always yelping at us like we're starving her out.
They all seem to have decent appetites and that is important for Zoey because she's the oldest and we can tell she's getting a bit frail/thin. Still, she is active with a healthy appetite so no concerns yet.
Laura,
Thanks for taking the time to join Kitty-Cam!
All the cats are 100% indoor cats. Before we became enlightened on declawing, we had Zoey and Finnegan declawed (Stormy came to us declawed) so we need to be extra careful that they don't get out. Domino retains all his claws and our couch as suffered a bit because of it, but it's old furniture and a small price to pay.
We have leashes for the cats, but probably as all of you are aware, cats aren't too good on leashes. So, it just ends up being easier to keep them inside!
