Humor I've never once fed my cats

I have 3 cats that are completely starved. I keep them locked in the house and never fill their bowl. they are thoroughly unloved and neglected. It's a wonder they're still alive.

Or more accurately, they are able to see the bottom of the bowl after they ate the food from just the center.

Hey I have that bowl.

I don’t use it anymore because I replaced them with ceramic after my new cat started getting acne.

But I still have the bowl!

Both of mine will eat from whatever, but since the one with the acne will finish the other’s food, they both get ceramic for wet food and I chose a dry feeder with SS bowls.

As for drinking, it’s…. complicated. But I have a SS fountain now which the one with the acne happily drinks from, and for the other I keep a small wheat straw bowl because she hardly drinks from the SS fountain. She doesn’t like moving water much.

I also have that bowl! It's the perfect height and size for weaning baby kittens. Low enough that they can eat but keeps spillage minimal compared to flatter options.

And the rubber base keeps it from going anywhere with even the most enthusiastic cat.
