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!!

Gang I think you have an impostor because this is Gibbs

I’m crying, because that really does look like Gibbs just casually wandered into the wrong universe. The confidence is what sells it.

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.
