I know, you all are a great bunch

I feed Mocha twice a day. I used to feed her thrice a day, 6AM, 12AM and 6PM. But lately she's not eating that much, so I cut it down to 2 and a half meals a day. Everything else is fine though, I don't think she's eating less because of any problem, I think she just figured out she's not going to starve or something if she doesn't inhale her food

Also because she's getting older, maybe she knows now she can relax her eating style.

Anyhow, if I've been feeding her less than I'm supposed to, why is she maintaining her weight? She doesn't starve. She takes about 5-10 minute to finish her meals, all casual like. She eats, walks around, eat some more, walk, eat. After meal, she pees, drinks, the poos. I didn't think this was a problem as she will finish her meal, always. I actually like that she eats slow now, rather than vacuum cleaner style.

I'm still confused LOL.

P.S: Mocha is gonna be 8 months on the 8th. She weighs about 4.5lbs. LOADS of energy. Dear god, I cannot keep up lol.
