why, why, why?

why????

I put out three bowls for the three cats to eat in the morning.
But two of them must, must, must eat from the same bowl.
:shrug::shrug:

And then it struck me...
they don't even fight about it.

Stupid, sharing cats.

If three, female felines...a chocolate pointed siamese, a bi-color black and white, and a muted tortoise-shell tabby
can get along...why can't the rest of humanity?

Because my cat's are really human, after all.

:silly:

1. my two cats share food pretty well too.

I've never bothered to buy separate food bowls. And they are sisters! No sibling rivalry there. Of course I never bit my sister on her neck or scratched at her head or sniffed her butt...:rofl:

5. who eats first when the food is put out?

or do they eat at the same time?

6. Smokie, the bigger more bold cat (and the bigger pig)

starts first, then Sophie wanders in and starts while Smokie is still eating. Smokie leaves first usually so it kind of evens out.
They only thing they seem to have sharing issues with are toys..just because they are so manic about playing that they tend to crash into each other while I'm playing with them and neither of them care for that much..:)

7. in my case

they are all there waiting for food.

they hear a can or the dry food container...and there they are.
like magic.

2. Because humans are more like my 4 male cats

3. my Tonka and Percy eat together!

they sit side by side, with their tails lined up parallel behind them :loveya: it's so cute! I have to get a picture of it.

4. Because we're chimps with bad clothes while female cats are economy

size lionesses. Lady lions tend to get along with one another. Chimps haven't met a fracas they didn't like. :eyes:

8. They like eating out of the same bowl becase...

...they like to imagine it's a fresh kill, and they're ripping at the carcass.

Kinda romantic, isn't it?

9. Try having our 2 cats

The boy eats when he's hungry and he doesn't overeat ever. The girl will eat anything in sight. If I put down a few bowls of wet and dry for them, she will eat them all by dawn.

I started putting the boy's food on the counter (he can get up anywhere with ease) since she can't get up there. I used to split a can of wet food between them and have a bowl of dry but she would devour her share quickly would be begging for more by morning, while he would have most of his food left. I think I have it down now: I split a half-can between them at night (along with dry food). When I wake at dawn I give the boy's remaining wet food to the girl cat (it's hard and crusted over now). When I return from work I put the rest of the boy's dry food on the floor for her. Night time - start over.
