It was like cat people ran out of litter and food and/or for some reason all got their batches for today
My family recently adopted our second cat and I need suggestions for names. We love food related names (don’t know why, it’s just always been like that) and our other cat’s name is Noodle. My family insists on another food related name and I’m stumped this time. I considered nugget but I’m not sure if it feels right. Would love to hear ideas
My cats name is Ferdinand, he's been living with my girlfriend and I for a year now. We got him as a kitten and we believe he was taken from his litter too early ad he exhibits alot of strange behaviours. Most of them are harmless, but his fixation on food is becoming very difficult to deal with.
Ive never seen a cat act the way he does over food. Hes constantly stalking us whenever we eat, even at the dinner table, and is brave enough to pounce on our plates. If theres no food out he will eat anything that might be laying around, even if its in a plastic bag. He likes eating things from the sink and will even dig through the recycling and smaller trash bins if he thinks there is food in them.
When it comes to actual feeding time, he eats extremely quickly and becomes hyper excited when he knows its feeding time. We feed him four nuggets of primal raw cat food, two in the morning and two at night. This is reccemended for his weight.
In response to all of this, I have begun shutting him in the bathroom whenever he starts stalking us while we eat or does anything food related thats bad, in hopes he will understand the correlation. It hasnt been working though.
How would you guys tackle this?
tl;dr at end.
Our cat keeps waking us up early, and every advice column seems to identify the cluprit as hunger. however, we started giving her a bedtime snack, and she seems to always have some left in the morning.
for about a month or so, as long as we remembered, she would leave us to sleep as long as we liked.
but for the last week now, she has been meowing intensely at the first sign of movement! even if its us jyst rolling over in our sleep! if you have to use the bathroom and go back to bed? forget it!
the only thing we can do is close her out of our bedroom, but she can definitely wail loud enough to still keep us awake. we live in a small apartment, and we cant put her in any room other than the kitchen/hallway/living room. the bathroom shares a wall with our neighbor.
She has enrichment in the living room! we have a huge window with a birdfeeder, and its always having guests! she watches it for hours! she also isnt the most playful when I get up. she'll fetch her mousey once or twice, but when she's playful she wants 5-10 tosses.
she doesnt seem happy until at least one of us is in the living room with her.
if anyone has ideas to help this behavior Id be grateful
TL;DR- cat wants us up early. it is not food related, food solutions that work in place. she has a big window with birds to look at/uninterested in play, so not boredom. seems like she just wants us up with her. shes happy with 1 person awake. thoughts?
I'm sick of seeing people complaining about how inhumane China is and how they're finally coming to the 21st century while doing the exact same fucken thing. Literally saw a man holding 3 beautiful dead fishies in his profile pic while complaining about how backwards China is and how it took them so long to give 'these' animals who are 'our friends' basic rights.
I mean I appreciate your sentiment but I'd appreciate it more if you'd just shut the fuck up and do the right thing.
Am I the only one that gets so frustrated by these?? just ate a 100- b12 tablets to make sure it's not my underdeveloped, chemically imbalanced brain.
Vegan btw.
So , I adopted 4 yo Rodolph about 3 years ago, spent his entire life as an indoor cat, never been exposed to life in the wild during those first 4 years of his life. Here is what I want to know about : This cat always INSIST to have me beside him whenever he wants to eat, taking a few bites, stopping to take a moment to look at me, like to confirm I am still there , then get back to eat another 5-6 mouthful of food, and repeat.
I had a few other cats in my life, and never saw such behavior. My initial reasoning was like "this animal knows he is vulnerable while his head is down eating, so he is relying to a close relative to guard the surroundings while eating" , see the idea ? but, as mentioned , he never had to live in the wild. Note that he will eat as usual even if I am not home, aka alone. It is not a problem for me at all, I am just curious to see if someone could bring some input/explanation about this behavior ! Anyone ?
I'm new to this sub, so please let me know if this should be moved to the non-emergency medical question thread. I'm thinking it's more behavioral, not medical.
My two cats are not friends, but for the most part they leave each other alone. Occasionally one will swat at the other while they're walking by, and maybe once every week or two there might be some hissing, but it never lasts more than a few seconds until they both go their separate ways. Lately they both have been vomiting whole undigested dry food. I've also noticed one of them digging around the food dish, trying to bury it. Is it possible they over eat because they're worried the other cat isn't going to let them eat later? My current set up is a placemat with a large water bowl in the center, and two food dishes on either side. One of my cats is a little overweight, so per the vet's recommendation we can't just leave the bowls full. We have to measure the food. One scoop per bowl, twice a day, and sometimes if we feed them in the evening the dishes will be empty by morning. What can I do differently? I was thinking a slow-feeder dish, but that wouldn't help if it's related to food insecurity. Should I have one food and water bowl in the kitchen, and another somewhere else? For the record, they're both female, 13 and 15 years old, eating Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Urinary Care with Chicken because of one of their history of bladder stones.

As the title says, my cat got really constipated and needed medical attention. She was basically trying to go all over the house for a few days but couldn't pass a BM, would just leave tiny spots of #1 all over the house. We took her to the vet who gave her an enema and some drugs, and turns out my kitty has arthritis that causes their bum to get too tight to pass a bowel movement. This has never happened before, but I want to make sure we're feeding her the best stuff to help give her smooth moves. Right now we feed her all dry food, thought maybe lessening how much we feed her and maybe also mixing some wet in might help. The wet should also be able to hide the medications she currently refuses to take :). Any suggestions?
Edit: Wanted to add that we did ask the vet about food including wet vs. dry but they did not make any specific recommendations.
The other day I saw someone ask if there were K-POP idols whose stage names had to do with animals, so now I want to know..
Are there K-POP idols, group members, or groups with names related to food or colours?
I'm starting out by trying to get her to just hold the bowl in her mouth for an extended period.
I'm placing the bowl in her mouth and gently pressing against the bottom of her jaw to keep it there, while repeating "Hold it, hold it". I then let go, and reward her for holding it without dropping it.
I'm planning on extending that from her sleeping area, where she usually carries the bowl over to, and trying to get her to walk with it.
From there, teach her to at LEAST put the bowl down next to the cat's eating station. If not back into its slot, given that she can even take it out in the first place lmao.
I have very limited experience teaching dogs tricks beyond shaking hands, making them run to you, etc., Really basic dog tricks. So I'm wondering if this very loosely structured, simple plan will yield results.
I'm just trying to have a lot of patience, lots of positive reinforcement and she's also food motivated. Trying to establish a strong connection between the action she just took, and the reward she receives.

I'll start:
If Stachowski's allowed you to order sandwiches to order instead of only the very specific ones on the list, I would have ordered many sandwiches by now
If Thip Khao (and Padaek) didn't have mushroom powder in so many dishes, I would get food from there more often, but as is, I'm very limited in what I can order there. I also like them to have an allergen list on their website which includes mushrooms (so like no exactly what I can order). I think it's great that some restaurants have allergen list now, but it needs to be a more common thing.
Also, having to pay $20 deposit per person for reservation stops me from dining in Thip Khao, which also limits how often I get their food. I understand what the deposit is for, so you don't need to explain it to me, I'm just not personally comfortable with it, even though haven't canceled any reservations.
Makan also uses mushroom powder, but doesn't actually count, because I haven't been able to try the restaurant because of it.
This one's going to sound weird. When I walk by Bethesda Bagels in dupont bagels after hours, I can see that they leave their bagels out overnight. I'm hoping they're not serving the same Bagels the next day, which they're probably not, cuz people would notice they were stale....but really my suggestion is they don't keep food out overnight like that because since the pandemic started, they're more rats around that neighborhood at night than they used to be. So what they're doing, just looks like bait which doesn't make me feel confident in me getting their food, which I do occasionally anyway.
Having to pre-order baked goods at exactly 5:00 p.m. on a Sunday for the following weekend at Rose Ave in order to get the things you want is a little extreme. It tells me that they don't make enough of certain things like passion fruit donuts and too much of things like matcha white chocolate donuts based on what they have left at the end of the day. If a better managed making more of what's popular and less of what's less popular, one week in advance or orders wouldn't be as important. And, there's going to be a pre-order system, they might as well have it in place for every day they're open. I still haven't tried that passion for a donut, all I understand that I showed up first thing in the morning and waiting on mine, I'd have a chance.
Also, I really shouldn't have to say this here (since it's rule 5 in this sub), but please, no personal attacks here. Let's try not to be j
... keep reading on reddit ➡I have two cats, both male. One is less than a year old and one about 7. There was a small amount of food related behavior issues before I got the kitten but it has gotten much worse. So I’ve keep the food in a floor level cupboard in the kitchen. The cats have both gotten into the cupboard and chewed a hole threw the bag and eaten food. I then get pet food containers with lids, they push these out of the cabinet, tip them over, and eat the food. I then get child safety locks, which they still try getting through. Any time I forget to lock them they get into the food. In addition to this, they follow me everywhere and meow non stop every morning until I feed them. I even moved the food into a closet but the behavior still occurs.
How can I get them to be less “aggressive” when it comes to food?
Here’s mine: the only thing I consider “real pizzas” are those cheap, greasy fast food pizzas. Gourmet and homemade pizzas are great, but I’ll never have a pizza party with them. I just need that slight hint of trashy-ness to my pizza gatherings.

Hello everyone!
We rescued a cat one year ago from the outside as we were riding our bikes and heard it meow.
According to our vet, she probably had not eaten in +3 days and she was barely 6 weeks old with a lip injury.
A year later she's still is hard to manage around food. When it's feeding time she goes crazy. We have another cat and if she hears him eat she goes running into his plate, pushes him away and starts eating his food. She's also intense when we cook or eat our meal. She jumps on our laps all the time and tries to eat in our plates. She even goes on the table and try to sneak to our plates. It has become more and more of a issue and I'm seeking help.
Does anyone ever had this situation before? If so how did you do managed this?
Thanks.
So far we’ve had Pastagate, Pizzagate & Saladgate. What will be the next Mediterranean food-related incident ?!
Update: just want to thank you ALL, once again, for your ideas and enthusiasm! Love this community. Cheers!
