And when they woke up they would wash themselves, and then assuming the dish had been refilled, they would eat and push it back and forth again until they fell asleep again.
And this is one of the many reasons you need to get a cat, Rachael–they are endlessly entertaining.
In fact, get two.
Well, I wouldn’t recommend getting ten all at once if you are not used to having any, no. Best to build the collection gradually.
(now I am rolling on the floor imagining someone who had no cats suddenly going out and getting ten)
Now if these were dogs — particularly my herd of four wee-tiny dogs — this wouldn’t be nearly so orderly and back and forth. They all jump in like it is a clearance sale at Filene’s Basement.
Once upon a time when I only had two cats. I would put a bowl of the same food in front of each of the bothers. They would smell their own bowl and immediately change place and eat the other one’s food.
Yeah, mine would eat some of their own and then wander across to the other side of the kitchen to see what the other one got. Usually, exactly the same thing but they always had to check, just in case!!
This version doesn’t relate to Cute Animals, but in a family with five siblings of high school age and college ages ….when one vehicle needed to go to the Automobile Hospital, and one sibling was helping another sibling get the injured car there…in our family we called THAT “Musical Cars” ….
My first reaction was to wonder why their human slave did not provide two bowls. Then I realized why. He/she was giggling too hard to be able to get the bowl down from the shelf.
What beautiful table manners! You don’t to rush your friend tho’ coz’ then you’ll end up with kitty indigestion and barf all over the floorz. Just saying….
This reminds me of the lead-in to “Cheating Death with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert” where he literally cheats Death — parodying The Seventh Seal chess game, switching game pieces.
I just love those cats…
Me too! Besides being very polite about the bowl shortage, they’re absolutely gorgeous.
I wonder how long they’d keep doing that (assuming the food never ran out).
They would keep doing it until they both fell asleep.

Definitely two. I would not, however, recommend ten.

I like the way you worded that. That’s what I’ll tell people from now on, I built my collection gradually.
More than two and this would turn into something resembing a hockey match.
I second you getting two kitties, Rachael
I should have known better than to mention I was thinking of getting a cat. Watch, now I’ll turn into the Crazy Cat Lady.
Serious lol material! At my house, that would have devolved into [slapslapslap hisssss!]
This! Mine don’t put up so well with each other with the food/toys
I WISH my cats (the Lewis and Clark of Lewis n’ Clark) were so polite at the food bowl

Our two kitties (who are the bosses of my brother, his male friend and me) also share a cat bowl but take turns eating
It’s that polka music that has driven them a bit bonky in the head.
Slides a second bowl of food in along with a couple of water bowls.

Mine do that. It tastes much better from the other guy’s bowl.

We used to call it, “Musical Dishes.”

Had a giggle at this line “I would put a bowl of the same food in front of each of the bothers.” Are they really that much trouble??

Ah, those Russians do it again. They’re coming back as a superpower of cute!

Uh-uh. And never get involved in a land war in Asia.
Only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line”!
You take one out, and pass it about,
Ninety-eight kibbles of food in the bowl.
Ninety-eight kibbles of food in the bowl,
Ninety-eight kibbles of fooooood…
YES !!!! an EXCELLENT call, T.U.M.
