Texts From Mittens by Angie Bailey for September 10, 2023

Don’t think I’ve ever had a cat that didn’t think of the bowl as completely empty once they had taken one bite. I’m fairly certain that it’s part of their DNA.

He’s a bowl-half-empty kinda guy

If a cat can see one speck of the bottom of the bowl – it’s empty.

Hunger is no laughing matter for cats.

But most cats i’ve known will DELIBERATELY eat from one side of the bowl to create the illusion of a near empty bowl. That’s when they get the shake and return from me. Shake the bowl, and return it. Now it’s nearly full. This tends to produce glares from the kitties.

Mittens is hangry.

“Some cats’ whiskers may be more sensitive than others; if you observe your cat eating their food directly from the middle and refusing to touch the food on the outsides, it may be because their whiskers brush up against the side of the bowl and cause irritation and discomfort, called whisker stress or whisker fatigue.”
