This morning my brother filled up Rosie (his puppy)’s bowl, but I guess Rosie really had to pee because he wound up taking her outside before she ate it.

Meanwhile, I decided to go ahead and feed Maisie as well. I go and fill her bowl, put it on her mat, and go into the bathroom to take care of my own business.

Within the less-than-two minutes I was in there, Maisie had scarfed down all of her own food, slipped out the cat-flap on the gate, and already started going to town on Rosie’s! I had to pull her back and lock the flap.

Maisie you’re cute and I love you and all, but you’re a filthy little scavenger and you must be stopped 😩

#maisie #i watched a cat documentary yesterday and there was this segment about how researchers did an experiment with cats #where the cats were presented four choices: favorite food; favorite toy; favorite smell; and their owner #and apparently over 50% of the time cats chose their owner first #which is sweet and all #and I'm a big fan of the fact that cat science is catching up to the idea that yes as a matter of fact cats do like their owners #but man. m a n. i have no doubt in my mind that as for maisie specifically she would've gone for the food first #she'd probably pick me over the toy or the smell #but food? yeah good luck standing in her way #doesn't even have to be her favorite. or even cat food at all. people food? dog food? she's there #stinker #y'know i remember hearing somewhere once that cats who were malnourished as kittens sometimes become food-obsessed as adults #and i can't help but wonder if this is the case for maisie #i don't know much about her kittenhood...I know she was with her foster family for about 2-3 weeks prior to me adopting her but that's it #and she was pretty thin when we brought her home #there's no way to know for sure but it would explain a lot...#regardless...sorry maisie but i'm not gonna let you overeat 😤#the vet said you're already a healthy weight and gosh darn it we're gonna keep it that way #that's my job as a responsible pet owner and I'm sticking to it so u gotta deal with it greedy kitty
