The mission of a cat ...
is to keep his or her human(s) guessing.
When I got Koala, I had a cat that had to have canned food morning and evening, in spite of the fact that there's kibble out all the time. He immediately decided that he had to have it too. A few months ago he changed his demands to "canned food every morning, and in the evening if I feel like it". I give him the morning food before I fix my own breakfast, and I was fixing his evening food before I fixed my dinner (naturally ;-) ). Then he started not showing up for the evening food, so now I give it to him only if he comes to the kitchen before or while I'm fixing my dinner. Pickles has never shown any interest in the canned food, unless it's tuna, when she sometimes demands some. Usually when he gets his canned food, it's time for Pickles to lead me into the living room for some private petting and skritching. She won't share - if I'm petting her and Koala comes up for some, she walks away. Lately she has occasionally decided that she would rather have the canned food for the petting and skritching. She would indicate that by shoving Koala away from the dish and eating the food herself, so I started giving her a little dish of it when I fed him. For a while, she wanted it every day, then just once in a while. She hasn't asked for the food for some time. However, this morning when I fed Koala, instead of following me into the living room, she stood and watched Koala eat. When I came back from the living room, she was eating and Koala was watching. I fixed another dish of food and put it down. She immediately left the room, and Koala ate that food too. |
