It's been an ongoing battle to get her to eat out of her own food bowl! And no matter how many times she is scolded, or reminded, or what have you, she remains stubborn.
I know it sounds silly, but we have 3 cats here with different eating personalities.
Skyler mainly eats out of his own bowl, he knows which one it is & is pretty good about it. He will only eat out of the other 2 bowls if there is nothing in his.(gee, I wonder where it could have gone?
) He knows he is also allowed to finish everyone else's soft food because they are so picky they don't eat much of it anyway. His bowl is next to Mini's.
Tucker's bowl is off to the side in another area because he doesn't like Skyler & I put it there to reduce conflict in that area. Tucker is a good boy & I've never seen him eating from any bowl but his own. He'll sit there by his empty bowl & cry for food when there is plenty of food in the other 2 bowls. Why does he have no food? Because Mini eats it all!!! There is something about Tucker's bowl that she wil not resist. We ahve already bought her different bowls, switched Tucker's bowl to her area thinking she didn't like her own bowl, etc.
I know she knows where her bowl is, she is a clever girl. She is just being willful & stubborn & this silly battle is getting old.
Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but Tucker is the one who is being robbed!
We are going to try to change the placement of the bowls where Tucker has his over near the others, but does anyone else have any thoughts about this silly situation?
It's almost gotten to the point where I want to take Mini to the vet to get checked for worms or something! Ugh!
