The Sharks Circle...

Late night feedings are like sharks circling a lost soul out on the open sea... adding in some screaming and crying in anxious anticipation. I know I've posted pictures of the cats all lined up like little piggies eating their late night meal, but it's the moments leading up to the food that are probably the most interesting. They start out in the living room... everyone getting antsy the closer the clock gets to midnight. Any person who moves in the house becomes the target - jumping and pawing at them, drawing them toward the kitchen.

And wow, when you get that cup of food in your hand they really start clamoring for it!! You have to push them away just to get the food down on the floor for them. That's assuming they haven't already knocked it out of your hand first.

You'd think by the way they act that they never get food at all... or more specifically, that by the time they get their late night meal that they haven't already had three other meals throughout the day!!! Make no mistake, these cats do not go hungry.... they're just dramatic little trouble makers, who would pig out if given the chance (which they've actually had before, but it ended in a lot of cat vomit from them over eating so that quickly ended).
The pictures aren't the best (it was midnight after all), but they do give a little bit of a glimpse into the late night feeding frenzy...!!
