Group Cat Picture

Late afternoon or early evening, Shadow and Fuzzy get their "treat", about a Tablespoon of canned food each. Shadow and Fuzzy will tolerate eating beside each other at this one time of day. Tory does not usually indulge in canned food, he just isn't interested. However, one afternoon, he was up on the table and decided he wanted a little of the good stuff, so the configuration of cats had to be adjusted.

Community Feeding


Foreground: Shadow (black cat); Background: Tory on the left (standing) and Fuzzy on the right.

Note that Birdie is watching the goings on as he knows that he gets his treats next (okay, just more seed, but it is a mixture for wild birds, not his normal cockatiel mixture).

Okay, after making you look at cat butts, I'l give you a cat face. Instead of jumping up on the platform the water is kept on, Fuzzy dows yoga stretching to get to the water - that is his main form of exercise.

Fuzzy Drinking

In case you didn't notice, his paw is actually in the water, and yes, he does that almost every time.

Of course he has so much hair between the eight or so toes he has on each paw, that he probably doesn't even realize that the paw is in the water. And yes, he does leave fairly large water marks wherever he walks afterwards. But, he is so darn cute that I can't get upset over that little detail!

We do something quite similar, letting our 6 3/4 cats share a can of "wonderful food". It's basically an appetizer before their regular evening meal of "nasty dry crap".

Bogie--Awwwwww. Our cats did not care for canned food; although, canned fish was aces. As to foot in the water: CC would find a container (usually a rather wide-necked plastic bottle) of drink (water/soda/tea) that I had left settting about, stick a paw into it, and lick the paw - repeatedly. Goodness knows how many times that happened without my being aware.

Beautiful menagerie. Are the canines next?

When I was a kid my folks had a part Main Coon, who used to sleep in the bathroom sink, the one with the drippy faucet.....Fuzzy reminds me of him!
