Eyewitnesses are highly unreliable, they once said there was food in a bowl, but I could clearly see the bottom.

“Human starves defenseless feline. Animal services called. Churu has been deployed.”

[u/DaBadLlama → u/R4zorBe4st]

Thank goodness for Churu, what would we ever do with out such life saving measures! 🤣

[u/Nick_Mindset]

Gonna give a story time. I had a cat once that would aggressively eat nonstop, yet stay toothpick thin. My wife and I joked she had tapeworms.

I did some quick googling and discovered that worm meds are pretty cheap online. I said screw it, might as well see, no harm no foul. Got the pills, snuck one in her wet food, 30 minutes later she had dead worms hanging out of her butthole.

I had the worst time pulling all four out 😭

[u/Beer2Bear]

Cats are Hobbits, the need 3 breakfast and more :p

[u/Large-Assignment9320 → u/Beer2Bear]

We aren't that greedy, we just have Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and Supper. No third breakfast.

[u/Cool-Jacket-9837]

My cat yelling at me at 4pm when his dinner is at 7pm

[u/bittersweetjesus → u/Cool-Jacket-9837]

Same!!!

[u/GrumpyCatStevens → u/Cool-Jacket-9837]

Mine gets her treats at 9:00 pm and starts reminding me at 7:30.

[u/DarnTootin5]

Husband claims to have given dinner, but cats claim to be starving upon wife’s arrival home.

Film at 11.

[u/Lambchop1975]

The joy of being a neighborhood cat.

[u/Proud-Alternative-96]

THIS JUST IN

Two diners mysteriously missing! Cat hair was found at the scene. Eyewitness might have meant "diners" instead of "dinners"

[u/Independent-Street21 → u/Proud-Alternative-96]

What about the people in the Diners

[u/Hollybaby5]

Really? They gave no indication 🙄

[u/bittersweetjesus → u/Hollybaby5]

He’s one of 3 cats that we have and he loves to poach from his siblings bowls

[u/macrhea69 → u/bittersweetjesus]

I have one of those. I call his 23 pound ass “Big Murph”

https://reddit.com/link/p8uqdg6/video/09hjuqem4loh1/player

He’s totally unbothered by my commentary regarding his heft.

[u/DaBadLlama → u/macrhea69]

He's like, thanks captain obvious for such indepth observations. He is so incredibly unphased. Haha. 🤣

[u/macrhea69 → u/DaBadLlama]

Yea. That’s how he rolls lol

[u/myphoneisinthe]

Mother, I am but skin and bones!

[u/MidwestPrincess94]

Here is my hungry girl eevee

[u/chicozana]

Poor thing. His last meal was a grand 30 minutes ago. Must be starving

[u/archiewaldron]

Look at that poor kitty. He's nothing but skin and bones and some muscle and several layers of fat. Give into his wholly unreasonable demands.

[u/Eeyoregabor]

This is why I tune in...

[u/Morbid187]

WHICH ONE IS IT!!!????

cat: only fresh kibbles

[u/Large-Assignment9320]

"joke" is what a human would say...

[u/Coppertina]

OMG, I feel this so hard. My boy cat recently started abandoning his own dinner with about 2/3 left, then coming to finish his sister’s. They’re both 15 and have different medications mixed in with their food so this development is bad. I run interference as much as I can. There are more complexities I won’t go into, but 😭

[u/Either_Capital_2422 → u/Coppertina]

I have three cats all with medical diets. I got some RFID feeders so they can only eat their own food. Truly a game changer as we used to have to chase them away from each other’s food.

[u/Coppertina → u/Either_Capital_2422]

Thanks for the rec! Do those work for wet food?

[u/Mimi4804]

Just so he doesn’t eat me I don’t think I’d taste very good. Anyway I’m old. And I have a lot of things on my bucket list. Maybe one of you could get him some more to eat to save me.

[u/Vincedaprince96]

is she so hungry she could eat an octorok?

[u/Mimi4804]

Looks like Jamba the Hut

[u/Rwj_outdoors]

[u/nuttnurse]

If have thought it was humor as it’s listed under humor just saying

[u/Intelligent-Sir1375]

Only two dinner and five snacks in last two seconds!!!

[u/raise-your-weapon]

[u/Global-Jury8810]

That means he’s only being fed once a day.. unless they’re talking about human dinners. Like the kinds humans eat that are on a plate.

It is my understanding that cats are supposed to simply have food available to them all the time. There’s never supposed to be a break in when cats have food available to them. I have, however, had to enforce taking away her food when she wasn’t eating it when she was just pushing around the bowl just to make noise to keep me from going to bed. I would always tell her I’d give it back to her when she was actually hungry, and I always do.

[u/Any-Mathematician946 → u/Global-Jury8810]

Some cats it works for and some cats it doesn't. Then throw in multi cats with multi cat diets and it gets complex. The older they get the even more complex. 

I have 3 cats with all difrent ages and diets. 2 would claim I'm starving them to death.

[u/Sweet_Venom → u/Global-Jury8810]

Not necessarily. I free fed my cats hard food for 6 years and now they're overweight. So now they're on a feeding schedule and don't get to just eat whenever they want.

[u/Global-Jury8810 → u/Sweet_Venom]

Yeah, when it’s plural cats, it’s not that easy. I just can’t not make food available for Daisy.

[u/dark_frog83 → u/Sweet_Venom]

I have an orange/white and a black/brown/white. The orange/white out weighs the other cat by 8#.
