This thread is hilarious!!! Cats have such strange quirks!!
Sammy will only eat from his bowl if hubby and I are in the room. I put his bowl between our recliners and he will eat unless one of us gets up. As long as we both sit there he is happy!! The rest of mine don't really care.
My sister has a cat that will come and cry for you to follow her. She goes to her food bowl and you have to sit on the floor and pat her her behind while she eats!!!! If you stop so does she!!! I don't mean she wants to be rubbed either. I mean a full heavy handed pat! You feel like your spanking her. Too Wierd!!
