A Cat Who's Always Hangry

After her spay surgery a few months ago, Haru has turned into an even more hangry cat.  To begin with, she's got a very good appetite even before the surgery but after the procedure, she could even eat double the amount of what she used to eat.  I guess it's because of the empty space left in her abdomen cavity after both her ovaries and uterus were removed surgically, leaving more room for her intestines to expand. Logical explanation? 

A cat her age usually eats twice a day but Haru needs 4 feeds a day:

Morning - a packet of 85gm or 100gm fish + water

Mid morning - a packet of 70gm fish or two tablespoons of grain-free Urban Wolf Adventures kibbles (made from seafood, fruits and vegetables) + water

Tea time - two tablespoons of grain-free Urban Wolf Adventures kibbles + water 

Supper - a packet of 100gm fish + water

She also gets one or two mini treats in between these 4 meals, which is her catnip biscuits (no more than 6 pieces a day as it contains wheat/grains, something which her stomach doesn't tolerate well).  Sometimes we give her a pinch or two of our pau and bread and share our hard-boiled eggs with her.

With so many meals a day, Haru is still hangry.  Whenever she smells chicken, pork or fish from the kitchen or dining table, she'll hunt for the source of the aroma until she finds it.  Many times she jumped onto the dining table to steal our food the second we turned around and walked away!  She's always stalking us!

The next time we bring Haru to the vet, I have to ask our vet if it's normal for a spayed cat to be this hungry or if she she worms in her tummy!

Caught in action seconds after she jumped up the dining table to snatch our dinner. And guess what was in her mouth? Bitter gourd omelette! This hangry fella swallowed some bitter gourd! 😂.  She even stole our onion omelette and burnt fatty char siu once. And she threw up the same night after gobbling down a big piece of burnt fatty char siu that the mil threw into the thrash can.
