Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2006Food Bowl Empty - I Must Pay
I often fail to check Isis' food bowl several times a day the way I should and thus it is sometimes empty for up to a full hour. If I fill that bowl up to the brim then she hogs out and I end up cleaning up little kitty puke messes so I have to allocate the food. She has two main techniques to point out my failures. One is this deal where I walk into the kitchen and she either puts her paw on my foot whiile I am walking or swats me on the leg. The other, more direct approach, is where she walks over by me and makes a gnarly angry meoooow sound while looking ugly, ornery, and downright mean. I own up to my failure and apologize and get right to the bag o' food. I was just wondering what kinds of techniques your cats use to point out to you that you need to get off yer butts and either open a can of food or get the bag out of the pantry. Mike in Illinois zip zooms through the house (not to be confused with poop zooms, which occur just before going to use the litterbox). Especially at night when we are sleeping and the dish goes "dry". sitting at the entry to the kitchen in a pack, also is a good indicator, or all three of them just following us around for a while....

Deetoo is a little different after using the litter box. All of a sudden, she's full of energy. > I often fail to check Isis' food bowl several times a day the way I should > and thus it is sometimes empty for up to a full hour.

Then she makes an almost silent pathetic little mew. I can tell how starved she feels by looking at her 15-plus pounds. Fatties get hungry too.

Methinks Her Majesty is perhaps too lenient with you. ;) SignatureDiana <http://personal.bellsouth.net/d/r/drdrive/hereiam.html> It's just a case of neglect on my part. I get tied up with client calls and house chores and other activities and I plain flat out fail to watch that bowl. I am a pathetic excuse for an owner and deserve bad things. I'm grateful she allows me to scratch her ears every day. <-: Mike in Illinois > You mean we're allowed to let the food bowl get empty??

I'm sure she's happy enough to remind you about the food bowl just to feel the love (and the ear scratching). SignatureDiana <http://personal.bellsouth.net/d/r/drdrive/hereiam.html> Mine, especially Mama, will start looking at me like a Beefsteak;) SignatureIf you want to soar like an eagle, you need to straighten up and fly right >I often fail to check Isis' food bowl several times a day the way I should >and thus it is sometimes empty for up to a full hour.

Reminds me of a Bugs Bunny cartoon where the wolf sees a mental picture of Daffy Duck all dressed up and bubbling away in a pot on the fire. > Mine, especially Mama, will start looking at me like a Beefsteak;) > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> Mike in Illinois || I often fail to check Isis' food bowl several times a day the way I || should and thus it is sometimes empty for up to a full hour.

My Tom Cat Diego will come into the bedroom and jump of the headboard and land on my head. He will climb onto dressing tables and knock ever item off including the lamp and clock. While all this is going on he makes an agitated sound that I cannot do justice to by explaining. Signature"A horse a horse my kingdom for a horse, I haven't had a winner in six months". MD That sounds brutal alright. I suppose if you feel you HAVE to sleep instead of taking care of Diego's breakfast . . .
