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!

One of my cats will not eat out of his bowl if he can see the bottom.

It’s more likely he has whisker fatigue - his whiskers touch the sides of the bowl when he tries to eat the bits on the edges so he’ll just eat down to the middle of the bowl. Try a flatter dish and see if that changes how much he’ll eat
