"Feed me right meow!"
We've all heard the pitiful sound of unrelenting hunger yet all know we just got done feeding our animals. I've spoken with my vet and know the caloric intake for my babies yet they still act SO starved. They are healthy and eating well and while I've had some issues lately with one of them being sick, they are back to their routine of begging for dear life for more food. 15-30mins after I've fed them they are crying in the kitchen at the cabinet that holds their food. They even have figured out how to open the cabinets and have wreaked havoc in there. Smart kitties :lol3: And surely they are a tag team
How do you handle it? I don't want them to see me giving in to the crying. I don't want them to be rewarded for that behavior. They are fed at set times three times a day and it rarely waivers.
I have even had to tape down the cabinets so they can't tap them open. But I've actually seen them ripping the tape. I can't install cabinet hooks because I rent my apartment.
This is the look I get from one of them as they sit and stare at me. Notice the cabinet in he background. That is THEIR cabinet.
Hahahaha! I have even moved their food cabinet thinking they would get bored realizing they just worked to get into a cabinet filled with plastic cups but within a day.... They were onto me again.
Do I ignore them while they sing the hunger song of their people?
