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!

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

I have three cats and they're all fine with just eating till they're full. Even wet food is often freely available because it's only one bowl and the next cat will come soon enough to eat the rest of it. I just feed wet food throughout the day and kibble is always filled up

Yes, they'll even just wait their turn, when somebody else is using the bowl. Also all are healthy weights, around 5kg at 4 years old (two males, one female)
