I have had Emily for over three years now and she is extremely possessive of her wet food (the dry food isn't such a big deal). I only give the gang about a teaspoonfull twice a day but you would think that I never feed her by watching her with the food. She will bully the other cats away from their food if I am not watching and she definitely goes in to lick the plate clean when they are finished. I am pretty sure this comes from her time as a stray, but she has never gone without food since I got her. I figure that she is never going to change now so I make a joke about it but keep an eye on the other guys as they eat (so they actually get some food).
