Congratulations misterwhiskers ! I loved "Robbie's" poem.

Congratulations to the handsome and talented Robbie! 

It was a great contest but I have 3 grazers. They wouldn't appreciate the prize.

I bought them one of these toys. 



Looks like fun for a cat, doesn't it? I set it up and showed it to them. Lilith circled it, sniffed the treats and then just glared at me like "You expect ME to get those MYSELF?" she left the room in a huff. Sophie got a couple of treats out, then got annoyed and followed her sister, equally offended. I showed it to Henry who couldn't have possibly cared less and didn't look at it twice. I went to get Sophie to show it to her again and by the time I got back with her, the dog had gotten into it and ate every one of the remaining treats. It was boxed back up and on it's way back to Amazon within 24 hours. Princesses don't work for treats and they expect delivery service.

I bought this one



Decided it was too simple for Eclipse.  Fluffy however has taken to it.  I made the mistake of putting treats in it at first, so when I tried to switch to dry food inside it did not go over well.  Back to the treats!  Her paw dexterity has improved.

Robin and I say "Thank you!!!!" I can't wait to see if it helps!!!!!

I like the other posters pictures as well. I really had NO idea!!!!!!

[emoji]128522[/emoji][emoji]128522[/emoji] And a big thank you for the judges as well for actually liking that cheesy old poem. Robbie's a good writer, huh? [emoji]128521[/emoji]

To be serious, though, I can't wait to see if it helps!

That's hysterical. I doubt Robin will pull a spoiled Prince on me. If I give him a piece of people food, if he drops it he will stop at nothing til found. Same with cat treats! He is ocd. I swear.

Lilith and Sophie are true princesses. I give them bits of plain  grilled, baked or broiled meats all the time and if Lilith drops hers, she will sit there and wait for me to pick it up and give it back to her. She will not go after it. Ever. That's what I am for. Sophie will spend time deciding if she wants to eat something I offer her. She'll sniff it, then pull back. Then do this 4 or 5 times before licking it then pulling back again. THEN she will eat it. She does this with every single piece. She also will not go after a dropped piece and expects me to pick it up and re- present it to her for approval (same routine). more often than not though a dropped piece will be rejected and the dog gets it.

These cats were strays before they came to live with me and ate who knows what for who knows how long. I guess their royal blood was dormant during that time.  

Congratulations! @misterwhiskers
That was an awesome poem you wrote!!!!!! :-)

I didn't see this until today. This gadget would not do a thing for my cat, the vacuum cleaner, because he eats wet food per vet's orders. That would make a real mess out of the gadget. He scarfs up his food as if somebody would take it from him. So now he is constipated and the vet said he needs to eat more  and smaller meals. What I have found at an earlier time with other cats is to put big marbles in their food so that the cat has to eat AROUND the marbles. This works with wet and dry food, just wash the marbles when you wash the bowl. Make sure to use BIG marbles so that the cat won't try to eat them.
