Seasons Affect Your Pet’s Appetite I found this very interesting, as my cats often go on "food strike" during the hot part of the year, eating much less than they do during the comfortable/cool/cold seasons.
Not at all surprising or rare! And experts (and others) all have opinions on this, but my tried-and-true is having high-quality dry food available, along with fresh water, at all times. I also give out treats at bedtime, which everyone looks forward to. Works for us!Lately Sylvie has been squawking for food around 2 a.m. (yes, she's still getting her usual meals at the usual times)! I ignore it as long as I can, but she keeps making noise until I relent and get up and put a little food in her dish.
That's unusual! In my lifelong experience, all cats seem to eat more when it's cold, just like almost all humans do. People in cold climates tend to be a lot bigger than those of us in hot climates, too.Mine has funks corresponding to schedule mostly, and being that we walk daily, frequent storms and rains seem to hinder her emotionally (more lethargic, less eating, a little moody.) However, our room is mostly always an ice box so the temp never seems to bother, it's just when the sun comes slowly or faster is when bumps arrive in the road
Hm.. I can't really tell! She went through a puking episode after drinking too much broth too quickly and ever since she's been wolfing her food, so maybe? Her climate is always very cold though; so I'm unsure... Also, we had a food change. However in the past she's only ever slowed down when the temps changed back when I didn't have an AC; but she also doesn't seem to have any coat changes either with temps. Not even a winter coat, so..Maybe she's an oddball!That's unusual! In my lifelong experience, all cats seem to eat more when it's cold, just like almost all humans do.

Some cats' coats don't visibly change much throughout the year, especially shorthaired cats, in my experience, except that they do shed more at the start of warm weather (but they don't look different). And it's fairly common for cats to puke it they eat/drink too much too fast. My Elvis sometimes snorks his food and then has the immediate "urge to regurge" He's a big, brash lummox cat, so he will do what he will do.Hm.. I can't really tell!

Sadly the issue is that she stays long haired(medium..? idk) through the summer and winter which causes over heating in summer as she's SO thickly furred, I'm not too sure, she's started shedding more a few days ago but winter is coming so...Not sure why her hair growth is out to get her!Some cats' coats don't visibly change much throughout the year, especially shorthaired cats, in my experience, except that they do shed more at the start of warm weather (but they don't look different).

*ROFLMOTO*!!! Googling turned up quite a few very funny links. A lummox is someone who's kind of derpy and clumsy and silly.

Can I ask what a lummox cat is? Is it a breed? Tried googling but came up with just one cat
