I've fostered kittens (and sometimes cats) for our local
SPCA for several years now.  I know kittens can have interesting
eating habits, but the four I have now are ridiculuous.  

I put out four bowls of wet food, twice a day.  All the
food is the same.  All 4 kittens want to eat out of the
same small bowl. Why! Two of the kittens are kind of small
(Indigo and Mooshu) so I try to make sure the bigger ones
(Rosie and Cheynne) don't crowd them out of their share.  I
seperate the bowls by a few feet, but still, they want to
eat out of the same bowl.  

They all start out nice and eating out of their own bowls,
then the greedy one (Cheynne) moves over to eat out of
another one's bowl.  I can put her back at her own bowl
repeatedly, but even though there is plenty of food there she
wants to eat someone elses food.  I turn my back for a minute...
and they are all in one bowl...three perfectly good bowls
of food just sitting there.  I give up!

Eventually they eat all the food out of all the bowls.  Do you
think it is a throw back to when they all nursed together?
