Re: Male reasoning (sorry Ed, Neal)

Keep his girlfish figure? <g>

I wish you luck getting things under control. I've got one cat who has that
problem (out of 7), and he's the lump of the bunch - 17 lb. It was the vet
who clued me into the allergy issue. Whenever he's on the allergy food,
there's no problem ... but I would have to spend $80/month for dry food for
this brood, which is a little costly.
