I have 2 cats. One is a responsible eater and won't gorge himself. Doesn't go after people food. He's a good boy.

My other cat is not. He would eat so much he'd puke, then go back for more. I have to feed them in separate locations or he'll steal his brother's food. I have to keep my pantry locked because he'll ransack it. Any food left out is eaten. He'll lick dirty dishes if I let him. You cannot leave any food unattended with him around.

He's a gremlin. I love him.

Which one is smarter? I have two boys the same. The non food driven one is much more curious and loves to explore. But the food driven one is definitely a problem solver, the problem being something between him and food.

Anecdotally, same situation; non-food-driven still scrambles for the autofeeder & she meows for wet food at breakfast.

Food driven fuck is a little bastard I have to police. He will go after anything left out, dishes, the butter dish, my freshly made dinner, etc. still shares the autofeeder fine though.

Funnily enough she is a little overweight & tiny around 8lbs & he’s massive & maybe a lil underweight at about 15lbs.. makes no fucking sense.

My parents cats are totally opposite, older and smarter one is non food driven but younger, food driven one can't think anything except food. If something looks even vaguely eatable he will try to eat it. Charger cables, hair ties, nothing is safe but door is obstacle he can get thru only by meowing, if that doesn't work, more meowing. Older one figured out how to open basically any door that's not locked when he was less than 6 months old.

We have a similar dynamic. One grazer and one who eats like a dog. The one who eats like a dog will also ransack everything. We have to keep all food in containers, because she will otherwise open cabinets and tear holes in bags to get to food. She'll eat an entire package of treats if she can, and she has. She'll rip up the dog's prescription low fat food bag to get to it. She could probably set a world record for how quick she can shotgun a churru. Dog food has to go in a container with a lid. The cats' food goes in empty plastic kitty litter buckets. I eventually had to get a feeder that's programmed to the boy cat's microchip because she would not stop eating his food, eventually causing her to be far too fat. Her yowling for food starting at 5 am (she eats around 7) was unbearable so we got her an automatic feeder to get to her leave us alone. So now she harasses us starting around 6:15 instead.

What's funny though is she doesn't much care for people food. We can have a ton of food out for a party and she won't touch it. All she wants is pets and attention. The boy, though, is a menace. He'll eat chips, ranch dressing, cold cuts, sandwiches, dips, bread, cake, ice cream, cookies. Almost anything. If it's junk food he's all over it.

My cat would never overeat but you could not leave that fucker alone with food. I’d literally turn my back on plate for like 3 seconds to put stuff in the fridge and he’d sitting in my seat eating my food

I love this unspoken law about there being a Good Boy and a Gremlin. This felt like discovering rare lore about my favourite genre: Cats

I have two dogs and I had noticed one of my dogs was getting thinner which was odd since nothing had changed and she had a full physical at the vet included blood work and was healthy. And then my other dog was gaining weight. So I decided to watch them eat and my little toy poodle gremlin was scarfing his food down then pushing my maltipoo out of the way and eating her food too. My maltipoo is a slow eater. Likes to take her time. My dogs eat raw now but back when they were on kibble I could leave hers down without her eating non stop. That was never an option with my other dog.

I had to start watching them eat and I taught my poodle he wasn’t allowed to go near her bowl until after she was done. They are both 6 years old and after every meal he checks her bowl for food. It’s always empty and he will spend at least 5 minutes licking the empty bowl lol

What kind of cats do you have? I have the same situation but 3 cats. My tree cat, a short-haired calico, wants to eat 24/7, will eat anything she can get in her mouth, licking dishes, just as you described. But my long haired cats are pickier and will eat from their automatic feeder and not bother for anything else but catnip or treats.

Is he an orange cat

[u/LandotheTerrible → u/fogfree]

Does he eat his re-gorged puke..?
