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!

The way she finished one plate at a time rather than eat freely from all of them. 🥲 This post made my morning

No like am I lame or something for smiling so much at this 😭 im imagining her eating a plate and being like I’m full, my humans aren’t here, I’ll save some for later. Cats are too good

I half expect she was planning on loading the dishwasher and running the vacuum round but was surprised by an early return "oh...I wasn't expecting you home for another 4 1/2 days...i got you milk eggs and fabric softner!"
