The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again
Fun fact: cats don’t like the last panel in our reality either.
This better not awaken anything in me…
That second panel is why I always feed cats as soon as they ask.
@stebo02 no, never had that problem so far, they’ve stayed healthy weights, but I think it might depend on the cat.
With my cat I had as a kitten we had a policy of cat biscuits and water in her bowls 24/7 so she could snack whenever. Because she was brought up with that setup, she was really casual about it and never overate. It was only at mealtimes she miaowed for wet food.
Come to think of it I did the same for my old rescue after a while but when she got super old she wanted soft/wet snacks a lot. With old cats the challenge is keeping the weight on them.
I feel so lucky I haven’t had a cat or dog have issues with free feeding! If I ever had a pet that was a glutton, I’d need one of those timed feeder bowls or I’d constantly forget to do it. Though, I’m sure they would make sure to remind me anyway!
but then they’ll ask more and more frequently and get fat
My cat’s eating habits seem to keep changing (how fast and how much she eats, and when), but I think I’ve finally figured out a good way to keep us both happy - weigh out the daily portion in the morning, then split that over morning, afternoon, and evening (or just morning and evening if I forget). That way she’s not getting any extra but doesn’t eat it all at once then whine at me all day for more, and usually has a little food left in the morning (my “evening” actually being late at night), so she doesn’t wake me up as early lol
My cat has a plate we keep full, she eats what she needs and is in good shape. Don’t know if this would be the case with all cats though
I did that with mine, and they made themselves fat. The vet basically made me start feeding them regular meals instead so they’d lose some weight. But I’ve had other cats before that were fine with just having food out.
Omg Imagine cuddling a giant cat
you can if you go to the zoo
once you’ve cuddled the giant cat, you will never do anything else anymore!
I’ve seen some cuddly giant cats! They’re really only cuddly with their owners though. Like this puma!
