Yes, indeed. Abby cannot eat without me present. I believe this is because her sister cat, Becky, hates her and once tried to .... permanently eliminate her?

Anyhow, when she gets hungry in the middle of the night, she wakes me and I go downstairs with her and sit while she eats. If I don't, she will lose more weight and I can't have that.

Luckily for Abby, I frequently have sleeping problems these days, so this is just one more thing to wake me.
