Did you know?

One cup of milk for a 10 lbs (4.5 kg) cat is the equivalent of 4.5 hamburgers for a human!
One ounce (28 grams) of cheese fed to a 10lbs (4.5 kg) cat is the equivalent of 3.5 hamburgers!

3 months into the winter, and Julio is still claustrophobic. Won't let me close the door unless he feels like lying down on his blanket, which he never does before meals.
So, cold house while the Lion is eating, then grooming his fur, then contemplating whether to lie down, and finally, the door may be closed a while after he's lied down.

Oh, and did I mention that's he gotten even more claustrophobic after the "wet wipes" episode? Wet wipes = kitty wipes for cleaning the cat's fur (and removing the urine odor he has from lying around in that filthy garage next door). Needless to say, I only managed to *touch* him with a wet wipe, and he went crazy. Two failed attempts, one scratch, and tons of hissing later, neither me nor the door are tolerated. Not even with salmon pate as a bribe. "hissing is the answer, and you know that for sure". That's a paraphrase from a poem, up to you to figure out which one :-)
