Question for cat owners

Dial_tone

I have a cat......well, roommate has a cat. The cat always get dry food. When there's about 20-30 food pellets left she starts begging for food as if the bowl is empty every day. Its like she refuses to acknowledge there's still food in the bowl. So I got a theory. I figure somehow the cat psychologicially/mentally/whatthefuckever just doesn't want to eat the last bit of food because she thinks there might never be anymore coming. She just won't let the bowl get empty. Who is nuttier? The cat or me?

One of two potential answers:

1. Imagine having to put your face in the bowl ... think about it for a minute. You're nose will rub against the bottom of the bowl, it's awkward.

2. The bowl is nearly empty, 20 chunks of dry food is nothing, for all intents and purposes the bowl is empty and its very disturbing, for a cat that has half a brain in its head, to know there is no food in the bowl, that means its humans are falling down on the job :FRlol:

Think of it this way, what if you relied on someone else for EVERYTHING, you entrusted your life to them ... wouldn't you panic if you felt they were getting lazy about their job?
 
My cat does that because he likes the morning ritual of feeding him:

- 6 am - cat yowls outside sassy's bedroom "COME FEED ME BITCH!"
- 6:15 am - sassy stumbles down stairs to feed damn cat to shut him up "little hairy fucker...."
- 6:17 am - begins the morning ritual: "Let's feed the kitty! Come on hun! Time to feed the kitty!" Cat does the happy dance, rubs on sassy's leg, rubs on everything else in the kitchen while he starts purring and watches that yummy dry food go in the bowl.
- 6:18 am - cat looks in the bowl and gives sassy this look like - "...and?", continues to walk around purring & rubbign on stuff
- 6:18:30 am - sassy grabs the bag of soft kitty treats collectively known as "moochies" . "Let's get moochies, cc! Want moochies?" "FUCK YA I WANT MOOCHIES BITCH!" Plop plop - 2 moochies -- any more than that, the cat starts to get even fatter.....
- 6:19 am - cat continues to purr, walks over to the bowl, pulls out one of the moochies, shakes his head as if he's a great hunting cat who has just taken down his prey and is now shaking it to make sure its dead. Drops it on the floor, parks his tubby ass and starts eating it. Repeat on the 2nd moochie. Then walks over to sit and stare out the door.

Eventually he gets to the dry stuff over the course of the day, and seems to eat a lot of it over night, but always leaves some to be ignored in favor of the next day's "Feed the kitty" ritual.

He really loves this stuff - I've been trained to do that whole "Let's feed the kitty" "Let's get moochies" shit since like 1995.

If I manage to forget the moochies, he'll ignore the food all day until he catches me to do the ritual, and then he'll eat it.

I might if I could think logically but it's a cat for chrissakes. I think i'm on to something with my theory. Maybe the cat is one of The Others from Lost.
 
My cat does the same thing, rubs all over me and won't let up until I put more food in the bowl. Cats like interesting treats too, like tuna, chicken, or something like that every now and then. Most cats have little quirks to their personalities - one of mine paws one bite out at a time and carefully eats off the floor.

LOL! Mines the same way

6 am - cat yowls outside
RADAR's bedroom "COME FEED ME BITCH!"if i don't she commences to biting my toe thru the sheet which is quite painful
- 6:15 am - RADAR stumbles down the hallway to feed damn cat to shut him up "little hairy fucker...."
- 6:17 am - begins the morning ritual: "Let's feed the kitty! Come on hun! Time to feed the kitty!" Cat does the happy dance, rubs on RADAR's leg, rubs on everything else in the kitchen while he starts purring and watches that yummy dry food go in the bowl.
- 6:18 am - cat looks in the bowl and gives RADAR

this look like - "...and?",expects morning rub and coaxing, continues to walk around purring & rubbing on stuff
- 6:18:30 am -RADAR YAWNS!
- 6:19 am - cat continues to purr, walks over to the bowl, pulls out one of the moochies, shakes his head, parks his tubby ass and starts eating it. Repeat on the 2nd moochie. Then walks over to sit and stare out the window.

Eventually he gets to the dry stuff over the course of the day, and seems to eat a lot of it over night, but always leaves some to be ignored in favor of the next day's "Feed the kitty" ritual.


We are the servants ,the cat is the master!

I see you are well trained too.

.. little hairy fuckers......


I suppose if I didn't have opposable thumbs, I'd be putting up a yowl too in order to get shit done.
 
My cat also ignores about 20% of the dry food in his bowl. I think that the cats eat the "fresh" morsels and leave the ones that have been out too long and have gotten stale.

I've started buying smaller bags of food. I used to buy 20 pound bags of Science Diet when I had two cats, but after losing one a couple of years ago I stepped down to the 10 lb. bags. Then I noticed that whenever I have a new bag he really goes nuts for it for a while, I think he can tell that the new food is fresher. So now I buy the 5 lb bags so that the food won't be around long enough to get stale in the bag.

Sometimes if there's food left over in his bowl I'll pour the old bits back into the bag of food before scooping out a new serving. I think that putting the stale bits back in with the fresh food will sort of freshen them up, or at least they'll take on the smell.

get an air tight tub like from rubbermaid
 
My cat eats all that is in her bowl. That is all the damn thing does is eat. Judging on how much she eats one would think she would be the size of a tank by now.
 
I have never had a cat. I never really dated anyone that had one until a few years ago.
Obviously I knew she had a cat. I would pet it.. what ever.
Well, one night we went out on the town and got completely shit faced.
We went back to her place and went at it.
So the I am hammering away when all of a sudden out of nowhere something touches my leg.
I think I did one of those Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon moves where my whole body levatated.
I started running around the room buck naked with my wood flying all over like the high dive after someone jumped off it.
My gf at the time thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
At least the cat didn't lick my ass. I have heard that story from more than a few people.

I've never seen Lost so I'm afraid the reference goes right over my head, but this may sound odd but cats are capable of logical reasoning UP TO A POINT, they aren't capable of abstration, BUT they are capable of adding concrete things up to a logical conclusion. My cat will meow to get my attention, then when I'm looking at her she will meow again and look at the empty (or nearly empty) food or water dish then back at me. She will repeat this action until I get my ass up and fill the dish. The cat is certainly capable of understanding that humans fill dishes.

I like what Mr. dB said too, a lot of them like fresher food.

Or maybe they just like seeing you work ...

I considered that but this cat is fed twice a day, sometimes 3 if she begs enough. Sometimes the pellets have only been in the bowl 6-7 hours when she's crying for more.

Dry Food !! pft.....

Princess only gets canned food.

The room where you keep your cat box must smell like a toxic waste dump.

Was the bowl completely empty when you re-filled it each time? I think it's the same old stale pellets that are getting pushed aside, they could be days old.

Every once in a while she will clean it out. Usually if we ignore her 5AM ritual of walking back and forth over our faces while we're sleeping trying to get one of us to wake up and dish out the goodies.
 
What some of the others said....

PLUS,

Cats have wiskers, whiskers are kinda like curb feelers for cars, in a way will let them know if they will fit though a space or not, BUT, if their wiskers are touching the side of the food bowl, they supposedly don't like that and wait for more food so they don't have to put thier head down into the food bowl.

Side note, fucking cat of mine, Maxx, everytime I go into the kitchen, he goes and eats a little. EVERY TIME. I just don't get it

Cats are inherently "nutty."

And a lot of times, the little bit of leftover food at the bottom of the bowl is stale, thus they won't eat it.....Cats like fresh food just as much as people....
 
Actually, every pussy is crazy. Just ask anyone that has one.

You know, they're the same as us, if you don't feed good quality food they're hungry all the time ... I have 7 cats total, they nibble constantly (except for the feral, she only eats at night) really, but only consume about 1/2 to 3/4s of a cup of food each, per day. If she's constantly hungry AND fat, food quality could be an issue.

Maybe she's wormy :rolleyes:

Finally, there is the odd one that has an oral fixation (I got one of them, too). They eat/drink whenever they have any type of emotional excitement, good or bad, and are generally mouthy (as in they lick and bite humans quite a bit as a sign of affection or happiness).
 
my cat is the same way, he crys on the top of his lungs around 7 am to feed him. if there isn't enough food for him he won't start eating. yes, he is very spoiled. i want to kill him sometimes, but i couldn't because he is my baby.
 
My cat does that because she likes the morning ritual of feeding him:

- 6 am - cat wettens inside sassy's bedroom releasing too a subtle aroma "COME FEED ME BITCH!"
- 6:05 am - hung fumbles through sheets to feed damn cat to shut her up "little hairy fucker...."
- 6:07 am - begins the morning ritual: "Let's feed the kitty! Come on hun! Time to feed the kitty!" Sassy gives hung the happy glance,hung rubs on sassy's leg, hung rubs on everything else on sassy while he starts purring and watches that yummy kitty get wetter.
- 6:11 am - hung looks at the hole and gives sassy this look like - "...and?", continues to rub around purring & licking on stuff
- 6:18:30 am - sassy grabs the sack of hungs family treats collectively known as "bojangles" . "Let's get bojangles, I see bojangles want coochie?" "FUCK YA I WANT COOCHIE BITCH!" Plop plop - 2 moochies -- any more than that, the kitty starts to get even hungrier.....
- 8:19 am - hung continues to purr, slides back down to the bowl, pulls out one of his tricks, shakes his head as if he's a great hunting cat who has just taken down his prey and is now finishing it to make sure its pleased. Drops her on the floor to afford more traction, parks her sexy ass and starts eating it. Repeat on the moochies. Then walks over to shit and shave.

Eventually he gets to the wet stuff again over the course of the day, and seems to eat a lot of it over night, but always leaves some to be ignored in favor of the next day's "Feed the kitty" ritual.

He really loves this stuff - I've been trained to do that whole "Let's feed the kitty" "Let's get moochies" shit since like 2006

If I manage to forget the moochies, he'll ignore the kitty all day until he catches me to do the ritual, and then he'll eat it.

There is absolutely NO place on earth where feeding a cat could turn porno ...

Except EF :rolleyes:

I must spread more K before giving more to 4everhung :lmao:
 
ya that happened with one of them. I started feeding him less, the same as recommended on the food bag. Now he clears it all :)

Nice table, mission style is my favorite.

LMAO!

... who is "hung"? It aint the cat -- he was hung back in 1991, but now he runs like a girl. He's also a shade over 15 lb but no one is really afraid of him.

the dog eats it if you put in on the floor. he's too lazy to reach up there even though he can.

Ok makes sense........but WHY is there TP on the table??

Also cats get indigestion if they have to bend over too far to eat... wierd i know.

Maybe that explains why my cat just lays down and plants his face in the bowl instead of sitting.

Well, ya know sometimes there's something good on tv and you don't wanna leave the room. :) j/k
