Cats don't really care which bowl they eat from. Everything is theirs as far as they are concerned. Can you separate them during mealtime--like feed them in separate rooms, or one on the counter and one on the floor, or something like that?

A vet once jokingly suggested looking into a "tummy tuck" for Miss Arizona after she lost quite a few pounds.

I also thought it sounded unlikely that a cat's color alone would be indicative of behavior...but I guess the cow pattern is at least indicative of insane levels of cuteness

Oh yes! Miss A loves to hang out in the sink, too. She used to lie on her back in the tub and nap (or stare into space--I used to joke that it was Kitty Meditation Time) when she was younger.

So, I was bored last night and looking up random things on Wikipedia. (Yes, I'm a nerd.) Under the entry for "bicolor cat" they say cow cats (mostly white with black spots) are thought to have the following characteristics: "a love of water, big personalities and a playful nature". I have no...

Upper 60s and cloudless skies here in Raleigh-Durham.

Yeah, you might want to have her checked out for allergies. And sooner rather than later, before she licks off all her fur...

She could be allergic to something. Does the licking and biting seem obsessive? For instance, does she stop in the middle of some other activity to wash like she's the World's Dirtiest Cat? Does she always go for the same place? Is it hard to distract her once she gets going?

My cat has also been known to throw herself through screens to get at things outside--other cats, birds, squirrels--and she is not a particularly active cat. Most window screens are not all that secure, and a determined cat at high speed can motor on through. If you're going to open the...

While you're doing your detective work, why not try keeping a litterbox in the house for her? Even a disposable one might help--she's going to go all over the house if she doesn't have a designated place.

The only side effect I noticed was that she refused to let me use it on her.

When Miss Arizona had a cleaning last year, the dental person sent us home with a product called Ora-Vet gel. Is it something like that?

Why can't she have the steroid year-round? My cat has similar symptoms to yours and we have determined that it is an allergy to something in the environment; she's on prednisolone (pills, not shots) every day.

Spin? What is that? It sounds like fun! Miss Arizona knows: "here kitty", "sit", "no", "kitchen"

Miss Arizona has allergies year-round. Hers also appear to be environmental--probably inhaled. She's currently on prednisolone, but we tried a few other things first and this isn't yet the last resort.

I buy doggie waste bags. The ones I buy are called "Stoop and Scoop", I think. They use to make them for cats, but I haven't seen the kitty ones in a long time.

The vet can give you better advice on how to get her weight down--he/she can help you figure out what will work best for your cat.

My cat had a blockage a couple of years ago. Like your cat, she seemed pretty chipper for most of the time but vomited up everything she ate. By the time I got her to the vet she wasn't feeling so good. After an X-Ray confirmed that she was just constipated, they gave her a laxative at the...

Tajicat--you'll be more likely to get useful responses if you start another thread with your problems.

Great googly moogly, he is cute. I just brush my fluffy cat with a pin brush--I try to give her a going over everyday. She loves it!
