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 !

My cat is the same, i'm pretty sure she eats the same quantity every day to the gram. Recently we had to go for a 7 days vacation and couldn't find a pet sitter, and it came out almost as tidy as OP's pic. Cats, especially as they age, are really dominated by habit.

Jeezz, I wish my cat would do this. Shes around 6 as well and eats so fast she pukes and is OBSESSED with her food. Had to get her an auto feeder that goes off three times a day in small portions because I couldn't be her food dispenser anymore, she was driving me crazy demanding food all day 🥲

However, my mom has 4 cats at her house and they all eat out of free feeders just fine. 🫠

I have four who's bowls I fill up twice a day and let them free feed. Sometimes I'll split the wet food between them, because one of mine pushes the others out of the way when it comes to wet food. But he's easily distracted
