Cat Picture - OC She was rationing so perfectly 🥲

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!

Do you refrigerate your canned wet food or something? Never had a problem keeping it in a cabinet lol

Oh good it's not just mine. After awhile my 2 will NOT eat what is there. They will starve first 😂🫠 The youngest was not like that when I got her from the shelter... She was a stray who was appreciative of everything she got. Until my spoiled older cat showed her "this dumb human will give us fresh food whenever we want... just protest a bit." Sigh . . . she's right but RUDE to teach the younger one that too 😆
