Lol it definitely shows what good feeding can do She just looks
overall fit now. It's surprising how long they can go when an owner
dies, my last cat they reckoned had done ten days after her previous
owner died of a stroke. She likely had dry food and drank from the
toilet because cats can't go long without water, they dehydrate
quickly.
