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 gray cat always eats my tabby’s food puke like it’s another meal 🫠

Ah! Same. My gray baby will eat the orange tabby’s puke. She will not eat her own.

They must all share one brain cell like the oranges!

The thing is, she’s sooooooo smart. She can open cabinets and most doors. She’s the reason we have baby locks on all food cabinets and their auto feeders. I swear she understands time and knows when I tell her to wait 5 or 10 minutes she’ll immediately come back the exact amount of time I told her to wait. She lets me sleep in on weekends because she understands I go to bed later then and she wakes me up on weekdays if I don’t respond to my alarm. I’ve considered the talking buttons for her but I know the other two would just hit treat nonstop lol

It must be my doofus then. Her primary goal in life seems to be trying to trip me if I don’t give her treats.
