I have a funny story about cats and food - or maybe it's cats and the fact that they are such creatures of habit:

We have three bowls for the cats in the kitchen, one in the middle for water and two on the sides for food. However, they never drink water out of the bowl on the floor (they use those big white porcelain water bowls instead) so the middle bowl has always been empty. For whatever reason, yesterday my son decided to fill all three bowls. Last night, everytime I got up to go to the bathroom (several times-kidney disease ) the cats followed me into the bathroom, rubbing my legs and meowing, like they do when we've forgotten to feed them. I ignored them becuase I knew they couldn't have gone through all three bowls. This morning when I got up and went into the kitchen I saw why they were starving. The middle bowl was still overflowing, but the two side bowls didn't have even one kibble in either one! So they thought they were out of grub!
