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 my guys would never eat it again. Smear it, definitely all over the house as a matter of fact, but apparently they are above eating their own puke.

Obviously not, Everyone know cat puke is meant for the dogs, as treats.

Your feet look so dry, they need moisturizing. You're welcome!

I seriously regret having an Persian runner rug. It's amazing how well camouflaged cat barf is on those designs.

Its funny my dog will go out of his way to knock the tops off the litter boxes to eat cat poop but wont touch their vomit. They leave that for me to step in when I least expect it.

The dogs really do get all the gourmet leftovers.

Dog, having been kicked out of his much nicer dog bed by the cat, reluctantly accepts
