…eats like a dog - pretty much inhales the food in a matter of seconds. If we didn’t close him in somewhere, he would snarf his down and go after everyone else’s before they got a chance to finish. He gets his bowl on the landing of the basement stairs.

Our female tuxie, Chessie, eats in the laundry room. Our big tabby guy, Winston, gets the first floor bathroom. Our female Siamese, Fitz’s sister Charlotte, gets to eat in the kitchen out in the open.

We let Fitz out of his “private dining room” last, and he immediately dashes to the other 3 bowls to see if there are any morsels left behind.

Like Merlin, Fitz loves butter.

Fitz, Charlotte, their 4 litter mates and their mom, were abandoned outside in Wisconsin in the winter 2 years ago. 2 of the kittens did not survive this. We suspect that the momma cat may have had trouble making enough milk in those harsh conditions, and that early-in-life chronic hunger is why Fitz is so food frantic.
