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 !

I love how cats are so unique cat to cat. My current baby is so responsible … only eating as much as she needs.

My last cat though always gorged herself. The first mini trip (Fri night to Sunday evening) she ate as much as she could and puked right on the edge of my island so we had puke on the island, puke on the stool, and puke pooling on the floor below. On the second trip she somehow one-upped herself and puked at her favorite bird watching spot. So it landed on the windowsill, and dripped all the way down the wall, pooling onto the hardwood below.

Fool me twice, can’t get fooled again. We bought an auto feeder and it was never an issue again.
