He might leave a vole in Arlo’s shoe. The cat I have now eats when he wants. we just fill the bowl with dry feed and he eats want he wants The prior cats were different. The male ate when he wanted but his sister would eat all in her bowl and then eat her brother’s food. I had to keep the two bowls up and set them down in the morning and evening. I even had special diet food for her bowl but she still got fat and I ended up having to give her insulin.
We have two cats that we have to feed two different things (One is old and can no longer eat hard food). For the younger cat, we can just put food in her bowl, but for the older one, we’ve always had to pick his bowl up to feed him, because he has always been like Ludwig here. It really is the easy way around that…not to mention that they’re usually loving on you/rubbing against you while you’re filling their bowl.
I tip 20% for most service from average to good. If the service is off the charts awful I leave a quarter. Sends the message that I am a person who tips but the server got a quarter from me for crappy service.
Although I never worked as a waitress (something the people who escaped my serving them should give thanks for), I used to leave 20% or more because women have the reputation of typing meanly, something that, as a feminist, revolted me a little.
1 – According to a survey I read (from a reliable source, now forgotten) the standard for tips vary by the location of the restaurant in the country. The amount varies from 10 to 20%. In this area the standard is 15%. Where we go on vacation the standard is 10%, but I make husband leave the same 15%.
2 – Yes, I know that today wait staff depends on tips. However, it is actually a bit insulting to receive same. Traditionally only SERVANTS – not salaried employees would receive tips.
If one reads etiquette books of the 20th century (yeah, way back then) one is told when visiting and staying at someone’s house to be sure to tip the servants and to give them more if they do something “special” for you.
Somehow servant became wait person, although they are employees and not servants
Traditionally it actually is insulting to give someone who is not a servant a tip as it implies that you think they are a servant.
Oh, we tend to tip a bit more in a buffet style restaurant as the wait staff actually is doing more work there.

I always leave at least $2/person served but Ludwig seems unlikely to do so.

When I worked as a bartender/waiter in college, cats were always the worst tippers. None of us wanted them in our section.
I suggested to management that we ban them, but that idea went nowhere.

Of all the nerve, a fast-food place near us now asks you to leave a tip when you place your order and pay. We went there once.

10 percent tip, and an unsatisfactory Yowlp review.
