calimacThere's much excitement in the mornings. Because there will be food. Fooood. Food, that knits up the raveled sleeve of care, or something.
Pippin says, "If She* is getting fed, then I will get fed. I will now run around the living room several times to express my excitement at the prospect of being fed."
Maia, meanwhile, is jealous. When she and Pippin were on different kibbles, she wanted his kibble and would go to any lengths to sneak past my watchful eye and scarf some out of his dish. Was it just that it was his or did she actually like his kibble better? Then we put her on the same as his and lo, she was content. But now he's been switched to some lovely stinky wet food, and she's jealous again. These changes have all been for medical or dietary reasons, not to annoy Maia, but she is not to know that.
*who must be obeyed, of course

THen the first cat snarfs down all the wet food, while the other cat happily crunches all the treats. It's amusing to watch the ritual.
