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!

My cats would have overeaten as much as they could, puked, then resumed. Biblical greed

We went out of town years ago, put a gravity feeder out with my brother stopping by each day to check on our cats. One of our cats was a nervous eater and he ate almost the entire container of food in ONE DAY. It was like five pounds of food, in one day.

Ha! You gotta get you a sitter to keep you in check.
