Aggression like this can be hormonally caused, which in a neutered male may
be a sign of an adrenal problem (if he's over a year) or a retained testicle
(in a young'un). Not necessarily, but it's worth keeping in mind. As a
temporary solution, get a second food bowl and water bottle and put them
somewhere else for Tenaka and Cayenne.

Not uncommon. Males can vary by as much as 40% in weight from summer to
winter.

Several other variations are also used, adding meat baby food and such, but
that's the basic idea.
