Starving kitties

[pomtzu]

My RB Meezer Ming demanded that there be fresh kibble in the bowl at all times. The bowl could just have been filled with fresh food an hour ago, but if he would walk away and then come back and decide to eat more of it, then I would get a good "talking to" and in no uncertain terms, that it was no longer fresh enough for him and he would refuse to eat it. I played his game - but my way - and it worked. I would let him see me take one fresh piece of kibble out of the bag and sit it in his dish. He would smell it and thought the whole bowl was fresh and then would proceed to eat what was in the bowl. He was smart, but I learned how to outsmart him in that department!

Mine can sure be that way...though Oscar is usually the spokescat announcing that it is time to feed them!

I think my kitties also equate feeding time with attention, which they also love!

Yes, I have poor starving kitties too!

Dear starving kitties,
Our friends Cassie and Pinot sent me a message at Cat Court about your situation. This clearly sounds like aboose, what else can we call it when you're not fed!

If you would like some legal assistance, call me on my cell phone. I'll represent you pro bono.

Your friend,

Oh that is a good idea! I am going to try the one piece of food and see if it works. Buddy is the spokes-kitty for my three. He loves me up like he hasn't seen me for weeks when I get home from work and I LOVE IT!!!
