well, in Hamish's case, he got that big by stealing everyone else's breakfast every morning till I put a stop to it!

he's been restricted to one chick for breakfast for about four days and I am already seeing a slight reduction in the spotted belly o'doom. So it looks like I won't have to mess with the rest of my feeding routine, just separate him from the girlcats for half an hour or so every morning. That makes me happy.
