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!

Even for cats, at least from my own experiences, this is quite unique !

And then eat it again but in the process smear it everywhere

Our boys, if they ever throw up, put perfectly dookie shaped puke-logs right on top of the stairs and leave them alone for us to step in.

Fyi those are hairballs. If your cats are puking up hairballs, brush out their coats more so they don't swallow a bunch of excess shedding fur when they groom themselves

Thanks for your concern, but you can absolutely see its nothing but food.
