Eddie,
How I can relate! Meowmie has me on the same stuff! Yuck! I've found what works to make her give me more food: eating paper. Just find out what she's working on (and since your meowmie work from home, you know what a good supply of important papers there can be!) and then walk up as nice as can be. Let her get all happy that you're visiting her at work. Get a few pets. Then when she's distracted by a phone call, start shredding! She can't yell at you while on the phone with someone important so she'll fill your dish to stop your destructive behavior. Works like a charm.
Destructively,
Harry
