    Low key hated when my cat did that. When he got really old I couldn’t enter the room he was at or he would ask for food EVERYTIME.

    Y’all don’t just dump half a cat of food into a bowl and just let them eat when they want?

        We got an electric dispenser that lets our cat Tabooger gorge as much as he wants. It keeps giving a slow trickle of food out through the day (instead of 2 or 3 big meals, they get 6 small ones) and we only have to interact with it when the power goes out or it needs another bag of food in the hopper.

        The reliability of food showing up, even when we were gone, that may have been a big contributer to our orange getting over his eating disorder.

    I recommend over the ear, noise reduction headphones to drown out the cries. Also keep your eyes high up towards the horizon, and keep moving.

      I’ve actually heard that using a timer released feeder is best so that your cat associates you with cuddles and the machine that has no emotion with food.

    You can tell the difference between a household where the cat is in charge, from one where humans rule based entirely on the weight of the cat …

      What if you have one fat cat and one skinny cat? …oh wait, the fat one rules us all… must go give her a treat in penance for forgetting that for a moment.
