Okay, here's the thing. I don't know if Buffy and Willow weigh enough. I weighed them both last night (stood on the scale with them in my arms, and then subtracted my own weight). I wonder if they should weigh more, or at least have more of a difference between their own weights. I thought Willow was 12 pounds, but it turns out shes 8 pounds, and Buffy is 6 or 7 pounds. Both of them are "ribby," meaning I can feel their ribs under their skin, but they aren't jutting out like on a starved animal. Willow actually has more ribs than Buffy, most likely because Buffy always comes running when food is in sight, and steals whatever Willow has. So both cats have ribs that can be felt under the skin, but Buffy has a little more fat (probably explains why she's so close to Willow in weight, even though Willow is so much bigger). Both cats are free fed, and they both have a good appetite (both even steal human food, and Willow's favorite is potato chips). Is 7 and 8 pounds good enough for them? I hear so much about 20 pound cats that I feel like my own kitties are midgets! (not that its bad, lol).
You're looking at the two most unphotogenic (sp?) cats in the world (but see how crabby Willow looks, compared to Buffy's innocence? lol)
And if it matters, Buffy turned 1 year old 4 weeks ago (April 21) and Willow turned 3 years old on May 18.
