The litter tray

Is this normal?

When we fed Harry on dry food only he'd have his breakfast and be worrying for food again by 10.30. Since he's been on Natures Menu (the standard one in the morning) he eats and then sleeps the rest of the morning. Is that normal? I'm presuming it is as if he was in the wild he'd kill his prey, eat it and then sleep but he's not been like this before so I'm after reassurance!

Thanks in advance

It's probably filling him up, and making him feel more satisfied. Is it the raw one? I wish I was organised enough to portion out raw, but I often forget get scared going in the cellar where the freezer is to take my own dinner out to defrost.

Thanks Mantra, that's what I was thinking.

It's not the raw one as I'm not sure how he'd get on with it without his fangs. He has the 'normal' Natures Menu for breakfast and Country Hunter for dinner but I'm thinking of ordering a pack of raw next time I order from NM just to try him on it. I would keep a supply of pouches though for those times when I forget to defrost the raw though!

He's still sleeping! He's got up, eaten his dinner, used his tray and gone back to sleep. I'm worrying about him now but he seems fine in himself apart from sleeping. He's away with us at the moment so can't go out so I'm wondering if that's got something to do with it so I've tried playing with him but he batted his mouse a few times and went back to sleep!

I think I might give him dry for breakfast, I prefer him whinging for food!
