Interesting! The cats would steal the dog’s food?
My cat isn’t interested in the least in the dog’s food. She has her own food in the bathroom (cat door - dog can’t go). She is very vocal in the am that she wants HER food!
Dog could care less. She’s much more interested in 1)going outside and 2)staying glued to my heels otherwise. She eats her kibble when I have lunch (when I am home), or at night when I am preparing dinner.[/QUOTE]
If given a window of opportunity both of my cats will eat anything and everything up to and including quinoa and popcorn. I have no idea what’s wrong with them - they get several meals of wet food a day and a little free choice dry. One of them is even getting a little portly!
They’re also really interested in anything the dog may have - I had to institute a “chew toys in the crate only” rule because my kitten would take antlers and bones right out of the dog’s jaws and I was worried about her good nature wearing thin. She’s growled at him once or twice when he was REALLY up in her business so it’s not worth potential drama.
The dog has a really ingrained sense of fairness - even though the cats’ dry food is technically accessible to her she almost never touches it and I can feed the cats their wet food right on the ground by her and she doesn’t even attempt to go near it. After they abandon their bowls, though, she’ll creep over and lick the last tiny morsels of wet food out of them. :lol:
