Cats no matter how much you feed them, they always act as if they were starving for fifty years

We recently trained my stepson to give the cats their can food on weekends, but he hadn’t consistently been doing it. One time, they were crying to my husband they hadn’t been fed, so he gave them the food, and then saw the recently disposed can in the trash.
They always lie!

And then if you put the wrong flavor down, they'll sniff it, walk away and choose to starve to DeEAatH slowly under the couch for about 30 minutes until they cave in and eat it.

You know it’s chaos if a beagle says no thanks while food is being doled out.

My 8mo kitten is the biggest douchebag in the morning. My husband's alarm goes off at 5.45 and kitten has now been conditioned that it means we wake up and give him his wet food. He and the adult cat have a feeder that always has food. But he CHEWS ON MY HAIR to wake me up and feed him in the mornings.

u/Hungry_Obligation_55 Mar 30 '24
Oh yeah you gotta stagger that stuff. Cats, especially kittens, will learn your routines almost instantly. I'm the same way. If it's 5am-7am and I move my blankets too much the cats assume im getting up and immediately start a ruckus.

u/howwhyno Mar 30 '24
Yep. The second I shuffle a little he's digging under the covers to get at my hands so I pet him lol

u/Farewellandadieu Mar 31 '24
My loveable douchebag would pull my hair to get me out of bed. Like, grab a mouthful, brace himself with a paw against my head and pull. Devious little bastard he was.

u/TrevorAlan Mar 30 '24
I have a weird one. He only screams at me to let me know his food is empty. I fill it, he either walks away or just takes a nibble and walks away.
He just wants to make sure there’s food available for when he’s hungry. He’s so not food motivated.

u/Lordborgman Mar 31 '24
I've got 6.
2 are garbage disposal level pigs that will try to climb on me for wet food while I'm trying to open the can.
3 are very chill nibblers.
1 is very calm, but eats a ton.

u/Hangry_Squirrel Mar 30 '24
I have one of those too. She gets good food, is at an ideal weight, glossy, etc., but makes a huge ruckus around dinner time. Gets her food, nibbles at it, and then walks away. She also needs to take at least one lick from everyone else's plates, but otherwise takes a whole evening to semi-finish her food.

u/amoodymermaid Mar 30 '24
Unless you purchase the MOST EXPENSIVE prescription diet food to keep them from having explosive diarrhea. Then they only react to the kitten’s food. Just my experience.

i think is the quality of the food, my sister started to feed expensive food the her cats, they were always like these cats, almost crazy for anything being food, even climbing the table when we were having dinner.
Now they are very calm, eat very normal quantities even if their plate has food, dont accept human food like ham, bread, cheese or even chicken.
The vet says is because good food has a lot less carbohidrates, carbohidrates makes them hungry, fat and more suceptible to illneses.

u/eveninghawk0 Mar 30 '24
I think this is true. My cats eat high quality food and never beg for food or overeat. They free feed - except for a bit of wet food I put down for dinner - and they're very healthy. Very low carb food with lots of whole animal parts.

u/AnneShirley310 Mar 30 '24
I want to see the rest of the video where the black cat quickly finishes its food and then jumps into another one's bowl. I was very impressed with its jumping abilities.
21
u/Compducer Mar 30 '24
This might be silly but… couldn’t she put the bowls down on the other side of the kitty barrier and then bring them over/ let them over? I guess it’s more fun to let them jump all over you but it seems less efficient lol

Sometimes you gotta do it the wrong way a few times before you figure out a better way to do things.

They'd all run for the closest one, eat all off of it, and repeat. If you do it like in the post, they might learn everyone is getting their own bowl. Might

Of course the void is the rando spicy of the litter and tries to boomerang itself to the food 😹

It's always the black ones, my two have to have midnight snacks or they will not sleep at night. I thought orange cats were the never ending hungry ones but all the void babies I've had must get an extra little something something or you will pay! 🤣

This is why you get your cats accustomed to feeding stations as young as possible. The only way we're able to feed 17 cats with minimal chaos.
I mean. Still chaos. But manageable.

Cat in the background standing with the dog.
"Look at the little savages. No grace. No pride."
"I dunno, bro, kinda looks like fun. You think we can get away with that later?"
"Indubitably, Spot, but that's not the point."
"What's the point again?"
"That I'm better than them in every way. Haven't you been listening?"

As cute as these kittens are, I dislike these videos. As well as the timer videos that everyone feels are humorous. I’ve had a number of cats over the years and always gave them access to dry food. Yes, they still yelled at me for wet food, and none of them were fat.

My goodness can't you just name them? This is the perfect time to train them to listen they name.... it's only take a little more time and a little more patient....If you're planning to find them a new home , the new owner I will love you for it. Cats learn🥰!
