She gets fed at every 12 on the hour and not a minute before. Although sometimes many minutes after.
She’s actually a former streetcat and still pretty young. We don’t know how long she was on the streets but she seems to have developed some habits. One is that she’s really careful about food. We can fill her bowl overflowing and she will only eat when she needs to. She will eat a bite or two if I come out into the kitchen although I dunno if that’s a “Human around, I can trust him” or “Ah, he lives. Food shall be delivered again soon” type deal.
Now if the plate/bowl/whatever is showing any portion at all she gets picky and will look back and forth at you and the dish but will eventually give up and eat.
She annoys me for a thousand things but astoundingly the one thing she doesn’t is food. Treats either. If I take them out she gets excited but she doesn’t try to get at the treats, even if I leave them out in the open.
She’s AWFUL and smelly and stinky and keeps shoving her ass in my face but I would still die for her.
Not always but in a lot of instances, when cats do that “but I can see the bottom!” thing, it’s because the bowl may be too small and their whiskers hit the sides and they don’t like it. Some cats are just assholes though lol
Still stands. The full context of that was “A pet who cares about my existence”. I don’t know if she actually cares about me or not when she’s eating. Hell, she could be eating randomly all the time but its just that the extra light is nice so she eats then too.
My two are rescues also, and they are very good about food. They eat from the bowl, but they don’t overeat. I expected cats that had been so dangerously undernourished as kittens would have overeating disorders, but they are very good.
there is no cat
now feed your god
