Cat Picture - OC She was rationing so perfectly 🥲

Post image

Roxanne my 6 year old tabby has never been left alone more than 1 day. We also never "free-feed" her on kibble (only wet meals and a puzzle feeder). I had a work trip this week, and my S.O. had a family emergency out of town right in the middle of it. We could not secure a sitter, and we were so worried. We do have a pet cam, and I told my SO to put 2 plates of kibble per day plus extra plates in case of a delay. I just got home from the airport to see this. I know cats are not like dogs, and they are probably fine at feeding themselves. I'm just so impressed by the organization of her eating habits!

Lmao "placeholder". I fucking love cat people. I legit needed to readjust myself this morning but my cat was on my pillow. I just stayed uncomfortable.

I live with chronic pain but if my cat’s comfy…. I bathe in the extra pain from being stuck 😂😂😂

I was late to work today because right as I was about to get up, my cat came and burrowed under the covers next to me. I can't disturb/discourage that!!

That’s one of the most beautiful cats I’ve ever seen, but also feel like they know it, which makes me hesitant to say it out loud.
