How does your cat let you know when

Chynna gets extra extra cuddly. She will also sit and look at me. And she will run ahead of me and stop and look at me to see if I'm following and lead me right to her food dish.

Abby on the other hand will lay on her dinner mat. She will also get super, super cuddly and become a real snuggle bug. It's almost a shame to feed her, LOL But I don't feed her immediately when she starts acting like that. I don't want her to associate cuddling with getting fed. I give her the snuggles and when she's had enough and jumps down I wait a few minutes and then go and give her something to eat.

When they're out of food, Cooper will sit beside me and stare at me. Occasionally he'll make this barking sound, "ruff", to get my attention. Whenever I get up, he meows really loud and runs between my feet to trip me up. If I don't head toward the pantry, he'll do it again.

Mine think they are always hungry. Even if there is food in their bowls!! They meow and run around like crazy under my feet. If no can is opened I get very disturrbed meows! Silly girls!

This morning, Zissou let me know she was hungry by picking up her bowl and slamming it on the linoleum repeatedly at 5.30 am. When that didn't work, she tried to bring it in and dump it on my head

Otherwise, she gets fed when she gets fed. She always has dry out, and water, but the wet food isn't really on a schedule. She doesn't seem to mind. Usually when I hear her eating a lot of dry, I feed her her wet.

My cats become "extra nice" When they want food.

Kabou is very lovey dovey and follows me around when she is hungry. Sometimes she will also let out a little meow. Brandon follows me too, but mainly sits on the floor lookinging sadly and expectantly from the bowl to me. He will often let out a meow that sounds exactly like "NOW"!

Reeses just meows and rubs up against the cabinet where we keep her treats. She leaves enough food in her dish so she's usually not hungry and think she just wants a treat though

Chessy meows at me very loudly, over and over, and will try to get me to follow him to his food bowl.

Emily hasn't really begged for food since we got Chessy. But she used to meow at me too, just not as loud!

Kuce (and my RB kitty Sphinx) just sits there and stares at you until she gets her food.

Luvbug will (mostly) lay there and paw a foot with his paw until you serve him. He'll mew (or shall I saw whine) once in a while if he's really hungry.

Lil' Jag will talk till you serve her (in her carrier).

My Clyde announces mealtime by placing his front paws on my thigh and stretching up tall to give me a nosekiss... and if I don't respond immediately, he leaps onto the computer keyboard and kisses me harder!

Ah, those Clydiekisses... I am but his willing loveslave...

Summer will wake me up licking my face and walking all over me. Chevy just gets more meowy and extra friendly.

My cats usually just meow or if I'm in bed in the morning they will jump on my bed and wake me up. Mostly its meowing though.

Radar chews through the bag of the kitten food we bought for the new arrival so that it spills out all over the kitchen floor, and then helps himself

He is obsessed with the kitten food. It is now locked in the bathroom along with his other obsession, the rubbish bin.

Jordan will hang out by the kitchen and meow his little heart out. If I get a can of wet food out, Baylee will show me she's hungry by rubbing against my legs. Jordan just yells at me to hurry up!

We free feed too so it's rare that they have to announce they're hungry, but they will run to the kitchen very excitedly if they hear dishes clinking. To them that means WET FOOD! Sadly for them, dishes clinking doesn't always equal wet food for them. They rub and whine until they either (a) get their wet food or (b) give up when they realize they aren't getting anything.

That's the funny part, we free feed too. They still like to do their dramatic routine.

Leopold has a new thing he's been doing. He gets the cupboard open (just the one that has the canned food in it) ...then he uses his claw to 'hook' the edge of the cans, then the cans fall...they just barely miss his head, then the hit the counter, then the floor, 4 more feet below. Now I've got a cupboard full of dented cans and a cat that needs a helmet!!

Mistoflees is pretty laid back when it comes to asking for food. He'll meow in the morning when he wants to be fed. He's still kind of mad at me b/c I've quit giving him wet food (see post below about runny poop), so he'll sit at the food dish after I've put the crunchies in and just look at me.

He'll beg for people food. He loves lunchmeat. Dd will take either a roast beef or turkey sandwich into school, and he'll come in the minute he hears the bag open and sit and meow. Same if we're eating dinner. Only cat I know who begs at the table for food.

Sneaky Pie is a pain in the butt. She will meow and cry as if you've not fed her in DAYS. She'll go over to the pantry where the food is, and sit at the door meowing. She'll get under your feet if she's hungry, and yes, she's gotten stepped on a couple of times. Kind of hard to do since she's kind of a "round" cat.
