Does the natural world seem to fall apart when it’s time to feed the kitties in your home? Do you find yourself appealing to different felines, (actually begging them) to simply eat, keep quiet and leave you alone? If these conditions are present, you are more likely to be at my house during feeding time than your own. Allow me to explain.
In my house, feeding time is sheer chaos, although I am not sure why. Each of my animals, (I have 5), gets their own feeding bowl and space, but somehow it all gets jumbled once those cans open and it’s “chow time.” I have one cat that likes to eat alone. Like Greta Garbo, she prefers her privacy and food must be served not only on a special counter away from the other kitty plebes, but also at a special coordinated moment in time. She must be served LAST so that the other cats are too busy eating THEIRS, to want HERS. (At least that’s what I think is the reason. God knows a cat’s secret agenda.)
One of my other cats covers the food with her paws if she doesn’t like the selection of entrees and appetizers. Her preferences change from day to day, so they are difficult to track. Her pattern is to have no pattern at all, which makes things so much easier for me! Then there’s the other three; one likes fish, one hates chicken, one loves the other cats’ selections of dry and wet food, whatever they might be. I on the other hand, usually have an aspirin for dinner as I completely lose my appetite trying to please all these cats!
I guess that’s one way to lose weight. Can I come to your house for dinner sometime? Or better yet, can my cats come?
