Does anyone else have an official "food gatherer" among their cats?
From the first day we started to feed these strays that turned up in our garden, Daisy was always first to the food bowl. She was the runt of the litter and I always assumed that she had more growing to do than Sam, so was always hungrier. Either that, or she was just braver than the rest - not true as I now know.
These days though, Jessica (their mother) seems to regard Daisy as her meal ticket. I don't know whether she imagines that I won't feed them if Daisy is not there, but at every mealtime they all gather close by and Jessica bodily shoves Daisy towards whoever is in the kitchen near their food. Sometimes I think she is going to break Daisy's jaw with the headbutts she gives her.
Jessica has clearly decided that it is Daisy's job to organise the meals. Do anyone else's cats have their own jobs?
