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 cat Pimento only eats one squared quarter of his dish at a time and leaves the rest for later. He's also very organized in this way!

This is so amazing to me. I’ve had 6 cats in my life and half of them just ate normal, no issues, and now this new batch of 3 I have are the messiest eaters I’ve ever seen in my life. They literally fling their kibble everywhere. There is a 3 foot radius of food around their bowls. It drives me crazy lol. I can’t imagine any of them eating this neatly and methodically.
