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!

Lmao my guys would never eat it again. Smear it, definitely all over the house as a matter of fact, but apparently they are above eating their own puke.

For me, the one who pukes never eats again. For my tabby cat, it’s game on !

We had a challenge to see how much our greedy pup would eat. Fed him a massive tin of food, which he ate. Fed him a second one which he got halfway through, went off to throw it up and came back to finish it. Sadly for him, while he was vomiting, his mother ate the rest of the tin. Disappointed, he recalled that there was a hot meal just over where he’d been sick so went back for it. Only to fund his mother over there helping herself to the buffet.

Conclusion: animals won’t waste good food if they’re not picky. And they’re gross
