Andy sits there and stares: “You know this is my ‘feed me’ look!” Yes, Andy is very polite about it unless I ignore him too long, then he puts his paws on my knee and gives me a little claw action!
Dougy waits in his box till Andy’s through eating, then he eats what’s left on the plate. (This is his new box! Something came in it in yesterday’s mail. Dougy claimed it before I finished emptying it, of course.)
While I fix my breakfast, the kitty boys come over to bug me for a sniff of the coffee or whatever else I’ve fixed for myself. Next, Dougy invariably does his “naughty kitty scratching the carpet” thing, proof that the landlord is smart making residents pay a non-refundable pet deposit to cover damage. Dang cat!
Friday is trash pick up day here, so the kitty boys get to watch me take trash out. They wait by the door to greet me coming back in. How exciting!
Dougy, of course, hopes the door will be open long enough for him to get out for a sniff or two. Cats and rabbits come by, sometimes a squirrel or bird, and Dougy wants to know the details.
Kommando here. I totally get it Dougy. We have an inside porch and I need to check it out regularly to see what might be out there.
Totally understood!
His fluff fits right in the box!
Yes, though the amazing part is how much of that is fluff and how little is cat! LOL!
Wait a second, that means the kitty boys are smaller than they look?
To some degree, yes! after they go to the groomer, they come home looking tiny!
LoL XD
They all have their ways of getting attention. Lucio has discovered walking on my keyboard. 🙂
LOL! That must be interesting! You probably have seen the cat that plays piano along with her human, a piano teacher, and who has a concerto composed around her music…. If not, here’s Nora and her contribution to music:

Yes, I have seen videos with this kitty. A talented feline!
Mine are sluggards by comparison!
So Dougy eats what Andy leaves. Does Dougy get his own food too? The girls take turns eating what the other leaves.

Sometimes Dougy eats with Andy with no problems, but I think he prefers to eat by himself if he’s not that hungry.
They have access to dry food 24/7 since they don’t over-eat, and may have eaten before I put the wet food out. Dougy seems to graze close to regular wet food time more often than Andy.
I always divide the kitty boys’ portions equally, and put them on opposite sides of the plate. They’ve eaten from the same plate since kittenhood.
When I’ve tried two plates to keep tensions down on those days they are upset with each other, Andy eats first, then goes over to the other plate to eat Dougy’s share.
I think Dougy gets the point that he better eat his share off the communal plate if he wants to get his wet food!
Ah the morning routine is so important to get the day off on the right paw. I see felines eat first in your place as well.
You know it! Then they bug me while I prepare my breakfast.
None of my cats are intrigued by an open door unless it goes to the screened porch. I am lucky that way. They can do all their smelling and yelling at the chipmunks there.
A screened porch would be kitty heaven around here! So would be a local population of marauding chipmunks!
I love the way Dougy loves boxes.
He makes me laugh! He gets that little Chinese emperor look on his face!
I’m with you Dougy… to watch all the things in da hood is important… and I want to eat this guys who bring the tasty bags away every wednesday ;o)
LOL! Dougy has to be watched very closely when the door is open.
so like a cat…in their DNA
Yep! How true!
