Felix’s food supply was getting low. He is 9 months old – does he still need kitten food? The vet nurse suggests that it is time to move up to ‘big boy biscuits’. The idea is to mix the two foods to help the transition. If he doesn’t like the new food, I can take the bag back.

The big boy biscuits are large and are good for his teeth, apparently. Will his little teeth manage these big biscuits? Well, he likes his new food so much nothing else will do. The kitten biscuits remain while he picks out the new food.

Being a big boy could explain the mysterious disappearance of his knitted duck. It’s time to put aside kittenish things. He’ll be getting more attention as an ‘only child’. Already, I can see that he is indeed a big boy. He overflows Mum’s lap.
