Speechless
Orville was caught speechless yesterday - a unique event.
Usually, he is very vocal when he thinks it's feeding time. And he's so loud, I'm surprised the neighbors haven't complained. He stands up with his front paws on the door (so that he 'falls' into the living room when I open the door) and meows that I am late, late, late! Well, last night I was early, and he wasn't yet at the door. When he arrived a few moments later, he made one brief attempt to meow that came out like a muted squawk, but decided the food was here, so no need to continue. Of course, I may come to regret putting the food out early, as he may use that as an excuse to expect food early from now on. |

Waffles normally gets his gooshy food at 6:30, and he starts pestering for it about 5:30. Occasionally, if I'm going out in the evening, he gets it at 5:30. Then, for several days, he starts his pestering about 4:30. Joy |

Marina told me never feed Boyfie one minute before his appointed time. And yes, he does moan about "nearly time, can't I have it now?" No. He gets a pouch when I get up and another at 3.45 and some dry at bedtime. My vet says that is more than enough for a neutered boy but he sez not. He wants 4 pouches at least and half the box of dry. Dream on ;-) We did all the health checks. Greedy boy ;-) I am very pleased that he has such a good appetite. There's nothing worse than trying to get a sick cat or dog to eat with anything or everything. |
