My roommate got up early for school, so Shiva thought it must be time for me to get up and feed her, no matter how hard my roommate tried to convince her otherwise. She came into the bedroom meowing as if the house were on fire or something. I snapped at her and told her to shut up, so she meows even louder as if she is desperate for the food that she left in her dish to be turned into gold or something.
So, I finally get up to feed her, and she goes outside. At that point I reach out to get Lynx’ dish, and as I am feeding him, Shiva runs in and starts going nuts because I still haven’t fed her (I haven’t even had time to get dressed at this point). After I get dressed, I come back in and fill Shiva’s dish. She runs to it as though it is a long-lost friend, then sniffs of the food, backs away, and goes back to the door asking to go outside.
After spending a few minutes outside, she comes back in and starts meowing for food again, rubbing up against the bag of dry dog food to get her point across. I push her toward her dish and she makes this WIDE circle around it, staring at it as though it were filled with poison, or she expected a monster to pop out of it and attack her! Finally, I guide her to the dish so she is forced to put her nose in it, and then she decides that maybe she wants to eat it after all.
I really wonder about this cat….
