Feline Friday: I'm Hungry Now!

Note:  If Suldog sent you, you are probably looking for Thanksgiving Comes First.  You are also more than welcome to read today's meanderings while you are here.

Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, started Feline Fridays, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.

The kittens are hungry.  All of the time.  Don't even ask, the answer is yes, they are hungry.  And sometimes, don't even bother getting the kitten food out of the storage bin, they will help themselves, thankyouverymuch!


Hey, when's it my turn!

Yummmm!

  7. Love this! I have also discovered that cat food in the bag is much more appealing than the food in a dish, and if left within reach of paws and whiskers it will surely be torn open and enjoyed! :-)

  8. If they steal their food out of their food bin it's OK. When they raid the refrigerator in the middle of the night.. Then there's gonna be trouble!

    Have a great weekend!
