C & K, yes, that is exactly what I'm finding with my furkids. And it only seems to center on feeding time that catches their interest! The only way I have found to break that early cycle of expecting feeding is to not feed them until later, that is after their regular feeding time. Snow Tiger poses a problem ever since he go sick on dry cat food, and started barfing it up. Now, I have to feed him separate, or at least try to, from the others. He gets "meaty-goodness" canned cat food. Otherwise, he doesn't eat much of anything unless he sees me eating something and then he wants some too.
