I was out of cat food this morning and didn't just rush right off to get more

[Roon]

My cats circled the dish for an hour then ATTACKED each other. All because there was no food. It broke my heart. :-(

[Mutley]

1. Last week, I forgot to buy dog food.

The store was closed by the time I realized it, so I gave my dog a can of chicken soup. I think she was happy with it. :D

Did your cats hurt one another, or just swipe at each other?

[Roon]

4. They were doing the "Tasmanian devil"

It was brutal.

[skooooo]

30. lol....

Oh no, they didn't really hurt each other did they???

[Roon]

37. No, like another poster suggested

I think they may have been putting on an act..

[Midlodemocrat]

31. MUTLEY!!!!!

:woohoo:

:woohoo:


:woohoo:

[Mutley]

35. Hey Midlo.

:hug:

What's going on?

I heard you had a war. I totally would have taken your side if I'd been here. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

39. YES!!!! I KNEW it!!!!

:rofl:

Not much, a little of this, a little of that. Great to see you, my friend! :hug:

[Mutley]

40. You as well.

It's been too long.

:D

[Lil Missy]

2. Did you eventually go get them food?

[Roon]

3. Oh yeah

I threw Barney in the bathroom and went to the store. Now we're all friends again. :-)

[MrSlayer]

5. Two of mine will fight if they don't get fed right away.

I'm convinced that it's staged.

[Roon]

6. LOL!

You're probably right!

[Kali]

7. Mine start acting wierd when the bag gets low.

God help me if it actually runs out.:crazy:

[Roon]

10. awww, cute

eom

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Why didn't you rush out to get more?

What's wrong with you, that you didn't immediately drop everything and dash to the store, blowing every stoplight on the way, to buy more cat food? Dude, where are your priorities??

[Roon]

9. Oh, they weren't going to starve to death

But I will never run out again, let me tell you...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. My cats will do this. They can also get jealous of me.

Woe be unto me if I pet one more than the other :o :D

Silly teenagers.

[Roon]

13. Awww, that's so sweet..

Barney used to get jealous of Morrison..he even knew Morrisons name and would come running when I said it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. Yeah, Might be something going on -- can't be left out

Like kids, have to make sure that everything is equal. :hi:

[Roon]

17. Can't risk not knowing!

:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. When I run out of food I break out the tuna. Luckily I usually have some on hand so

the kittehs get by until dad can make a trip to the store.

[Roon]

14. Yeah, i have done that too

but I don't even have any tuna.

[MrSlayer]

28. I have a cat that will not eat tuna.

He won't eat anything but his preferred dry food. Then I have another cat that will eat anything, spaghetti, rice, french fries, anything. They are quite strange animals.

[CreekDog]

15. if you keep cans of tuna around

at least you can give them something so they don't go without until you can get more. :shrug:

[Roon]

18. I agree

I am going to pick up a couple cans of tuna and try to make sure I don't run out again.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. I always have a few cans of backup tuna.

The problem is that if I have to use it because I've run out of cat food, they remember. So the next time I feed them their regular cat food they just stand in front of their bowls and stare at me with this look like, "What's this, and where the hell is the tuna?"

[Lex]

19. My cat bites me on the toes if she's out of food.

It hurts too.

[Lil Missy]

29. Yes! My "snarly butt" does that!

We're not out of cat food. Just his bowl is empty.

[CreekDog]

21. My friend's cat got hungry, the cat food bag was on the top shelf in the kitchen

until he got to it.

not afterwards. :rofl:

[barb162]

22. Bwahaha

[CreekDog]

23. she said the cat food went really far

well into other rooms hahah.

[barb162]

24. I can imagine. I keep catnip in an upper cabinet and it has been found

many feet away. They get very creative at times.

[Roon]

27. I used to have a siamese that liked roses for some reason

we put it up way high in the kitchen..but he still managed to climb up and get it.

[distantearlywarning]

34. One of mine is obsessed with roses!

I thought I was the only cat owner in the world who had a cat who loved roses.

We can't put roses anywhere in the house where he can get to them. If we put them on the table where he can reach them, we will come back 5 minutes later to find all the rose heads bitten off and petals strewn everywhere. And a purring, ecstatic cat rolling around in the chaos. We've become very good at finding places to put flowers out of the reach of kitty.

He knows the instant we walk through the door with roses, too, and appears out of thin air and hovers to see if we might accidentally drop one. When we put them up on a high shelf, he sits underneath and stares at them mournfully. We usually do save him one and put it in a place where he can find it, because it makes him so happy.

I have no idea where he got all this behavior/preference from - he's been like that since he was a little kitten.

[Roon]

36. It must have something to do with the odor of the rose

that is the only thing I can think of...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. You are not the only one.

Some years ago my cat Alice (R.I.P.) ate all the flower heads off a bouquet of roses I had been given. Nothing left but stems...

[LisaL]

25. Wow. You must love to live dangerously.

Hungry cats is not something that is pleasant to see.

[Roon]

26. No it's not!

I learned the hard way..

[TZ]

32. ugh. running out of cat food is not even to be contemplated...

If that happened nothing I ate would be safe..Check that. Thats already the case to some extent..Everything I eat has to be at least sniffed for edibility...I could see a snatch and run campaign..:scared:

[Roon]

38. Daniel will grab a whole piece of pizza and run

she is 24-years-old..i just let her...

[TZ]

33. dupe

[BuelahWitch]

42. You can't run out of fud on St Catrick's Day...

[Orsino]

43. The rule is: buy cat food or BE cat food.

Glad you survived to tell the tale.

[raccoon]

44. Well, this time you're excused. Next time, just rush right out to get more.

:hi:
