Milo needs a bedtime story
Like most of our little buddies, Milo does his Dance of Hunger at the
crack of dawn. You know the drill -- head butts, sitting up and begging, trying to herd me into the kitchen if I walk in any other direction. But yesterday and today, he's been doing it even though there's still food in his dish. I was up at about 4, so I figured he'd have finished the leftover supper by about 6:30, his usual feeding time, but noooooo. The funny thing is, he's gulled me several times into going into the kitchen to feed him, only to see that there's still food. So tonight I'm going to tell him the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. (No, I'm not completely heartless. Before leaving for work, I'll toss the leftovers and give him fresh food.) -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

(No, I'm not completely heartless. Before leaving for work, I'll toss the leftovers and give him fresh food.) They're all weird. I have three and dealing with their eating habits drives me nuts. One is a grazer; he eats a bit and then walks away, coming back later. Only by then, two of the feline vacuum cleaners have eaten his portion. So I have to take away one bowl after he walks away and try to slip it back when the other two are gone. Then, one of the furballs likes to cover up any food left over, which usually involves dragging a bathmat or sock or underwear onto the bowl(s). Or maybe we just turn the bowl over so we have wet or dry food all over the floor. Did I mention that they're all so weird? |
