This time Sox is cleaning up. well her plate!
Well, Sox is no kitten, so I am sympathetic… as I age, I tend to leave a mess in my wake more often, too. (At least no one else has to clean up my mess.)
Friday Ark #143…
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….? Visit all the …
Actually, Jams, that’s not his plate. The owner of the plate had a “conversation” with him later.
Steve, he’s just not very coordinated and has a lot of mass that he can “launch” with considerable force.
So that was your dinner disappearing down Sox’s gullet? Hmm… I’ve had that happen :-/.

Sox used to “help” me with dinner, but I stopped making that possible a while ago. That was his sister’s pseudo-salmon paté that he was snarfing down, and Dot was not happy about it.
I don’t know if Mencken and Fang will use a common dish, but Dot refuses. That’s why it’s a dinner plate – I got sick of buying special cat dishes and it came from an apartment I rehabbed for a friend.
sox is one handsome dude.
i’ve got the opposite problem here. everybody eats from everybody else’s plate and nobody seems to care. really, life would be so simple if i could just buy large bags of “generic food for omnivores & carnivores” and set it out on one big plate on the coffee table, where we could all share and be together for the dinner hour.
I have Mencken and Fang on a diet, so they don’t care whether I give them one bowl, two bowls, or a dozen bowls. The first bowl I put food into, they rush at and take turns taking gaping mouthfulls of food out of it. If I put another bowl of food down, Mencken will leave Fang to the first one and go to the second one, but really, these chow hounds don’t care. And no, they’re not starving to death. The Mighty Fang is 18 pounds and Mencken is 14 pounds.
Really, I wish they *did* have dedicated bowls that one and only one cat would eat out of. Things would be much easier if I could put Fang on a strict enough diet to get him down to 14 pounds (what he should be) without starving Mencken to death (Mencken is at the weight he should be — he’s a big cat).
Nice kitty. Does Sox want more food? What a pretty coat on that beautiful feline.
