Oh yes, the boys here know where the wet food and where the dry food go.
Miranda doesn't eat either, but she knows where her bowl goes. In
between her eating, I have to lift it up out of the boys' way so they
don't eat her food. When she wants to eat a little, she sits down where
her bowl goes and just looks at me expectantly.



I'll bet that when she looks so worried waiting for her bit of fresh
meat, she always gets some!

Alas, this is true.

Boyfriend has seemed hungry today, and he has already eaten three
pouches of wet food, so when he asked me for more a while ago I
decided to give him some dry kibble.
He has a dish for his wet food and one for his dry, in a different
part of the kitchen.
I got a new box of dry from the porch (we were out of it in the
house) and when he saw me with the box, he moved from his wet food
bowl where he was begging to his dry food one.
I find that a bit scary. How did he know that the box meant
kibble and he had a special bowl to eat it in which he moved to?
Wow!

As someone remarked, when discussing the difficulty of training
cats to do tricks. "Cats are VERY intelligent at being cats - they
just don't have the same priorities dogs do."



I expected him to know where each dish was, what surprised me so
much was that normally I keep his kibble in the kitchen cupboard in
a white plastic container. I get that container out and shake some
into his dish. I wouldn't find it remarkable for him to recognise
the plastic container and move to his kibble dish. Actually he
knows where it's kept and if he wants some he will miaow and touch
the cupboard door.

I was amazed because this was a *box* of kibble which I fetched from
the porch. It could have been anything, cornflakes etc for myself,
but no, somehow he knew what it was!
You don't think he can read do you? ;-))


I wouldn't entirely count it out! :-) Invariably, if I find
some of my cat's favorite food on sale and stock up on it,
she'll promptly decide she doesn't really like it, after
all. (I swear she must read the price tag or the register
tape or something!)


I think modern cats can read the bar code. ;o)

The one that amazes me if when I come back from the supermarket and I
have say 3 bags and the cats (The other cats as well as the Furballs
did this) always go straight to the bag that has their food in....

Sarrasine can tell kibble by sound. I rattle anything else and she
doesn't bother with it...Last week I ran out of Iams (Naughty slave!)
so I got something else and when I rattled the box she didn't bother
but she can tell Iams by noise!
