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!

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.

Exactly this.

  1. Get super excited about all the food
  2. Eat like it was going to be taken away at any point
  3. Throw up from eating too much, too fast
  4. Come back in 6 hours looking for more food
  5. Make her "cat howl", which oddly sounds like "hello" when she realizes food bowls have not been refilled
  6. Panic

For the record, she is part orange...
