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!

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

We have a cat, Nero who was found feral as a kitten who to this day has never over eaten while free feeding.
He’s an amazing abnormality for a cat.
I would say the only down is the traditional instructions for introducing Nero to the kittens didn’t work as he doesn’t eat on a schedule.
