I recently found out that there are delayed-opening pet bowls. Can be used for dry or wet food (has an ice compartment). There is much less overnight spitting up and no 4:30 am calling by our palliative care cat—he’s loving and active in the day, but can’t go 8 hours between meals. He’s named Maui, but we think that was a mistaken spelling by his former owner’s vet as he has a very cigars & wiskey meow.
The cat we had when I was a kid fed itself on mice, only getting fresh milk, rich in cream. For entertainment it chased trucks until it ‘caught’ one, the driver stopped. After that it just lay in the grass beside the road and watched them.
“Upstairs food bowl?!” My cat gets a handful of kibble a day, and takes it or leaves it. She complains, she’s tossed out the door. Plenty of mice out there.

The next morning, Arlo’s Grape Nuts tasted strange…

If there is such a thing you could not to much better than to be reincarnated as a cat in a home like the Day’s.

The bowl doesn’t need to be empty, ours complain if they can see any of the bottom of the bowl

This hits close to home…..2:30 this morning and our cat let us know her bowl was empty. And my wife wonders why the cats name is DamCat!

That’s the trouble when living with a nocturnal pet. It sleeps all day and than wakes you up in the middle of the night.

I wonder why the Days want a cat—yes, I know they love Ludwig—and I do too . .

Whenever Luddie is involved, always a great cartoon.

If we learned that cats were dropped off by extraterrestrials about a million years ago, I would say, “I knew it.”

I never answer the meows for room service between 11p and 5.30a. House rule!

Truly, cat’s have their own rules…..but nor nine lives!

Never will I be kept by a cat. Never! I get up often enough each night. Also, don’t think about mentioning “multitasking” at 0315 to me.

Another reason NOT to have a cat.

Aren’t they so lucky they don’t have a dog that has to be let out in the middle of the night?

We’ve decided nighttime cat songs, even when strident, are meant to be lullabies.

Cat’s aren’t allowed to feed themselves so they rely on us.
