Ha - yeah, that's why they were on Whiskas kitten in the first place! Funny you say that about one of your rescues - my two are the same, they eat like they'll never eat again whenever I put food down!

I have the same thing going on with my two. They are both 6 months old. Casper is very sleek and agile and will jump anywhere and everywhere but Tobias just seems to 'plod' about most of the time! He runs and tears round the house when he feels like it but he's not ventured onto the worktop yet whereas Casper has been jumping up there for months. Wasn't sure whether it's just his personality, his weight or his breed. He's a British Shorthair and a lot stockier/chunkier than Casper. I was worried that he was overweight but when I took them both to be neutered the vet said he was fine. Still trying to decide whether he'll ever get onto the worktop!

Mine too - they are 9 months old and Ben is 4.6kg and Jerry 4.4! They are both tall cats, still have big paws and with Jerry he is quite sleek but ben definitely has a little podgy belly. Have just changed them onto adult food, hopefully this will help.
