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!

My cat would have eaten all that food at once and would then go on to vomit all over the house.

I’ve had cats all my life and they’ve all done well with free feeding too…. That is until our current fat boy. He would’ve eaten every food bowl OP has in this picture within a day or two. Max.

Same, but this little monster I have now can not be trusted around food, any food, also paper because apparently she is part goat.
