Re: Eating Habits...


Tiger eats some food and then tries to hide what's left over! He has a mat which his bowl sits on to catch the spills but also to protect the carpet from his scratching

Re: Eating Habits...


As I mentioned I've always used plates, and have picked up a very nice assortment over the years at flea markets/yard sales. Some are quite posh - bone china!

Perhaps I should try Cleo with bone china- she may be objecting to the tacky plastic!

Re: Eating Habits...


Weird thing with Cloud is that there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to how she eats. Sometimes it all comes from the bowl, other times the first mouthful and select others are scattered and then eaten. This time she dropped one bit of dried food on the table and ate that, took the next mouthful from the bowl, and I think only did the same as the first with another cause I distracted her!!!

Re: Eating Habits...


Mostly ours eat from their bowls or each others However sometimes Amber lifts food out to eat beside the bowl. They have a plastic bowl each for dry food & ceramic bowl for wet, its the latter Amber would take out of.

Pic below of said dishes & yes Tim does have dry kibble from a pink dish

Re: Eating Habits...


Isn't it interesting as to all their little habits and eccentricities? Both mine leave a disaster zone after they've ate their wet food and sometimes there is more dry outside the dry food dish than left in it.

I do agree with DM that sometimes a flat dish is a good idea. My Misty and Sid both ate well from a flat dish.

I did try that with mine - it was just easier for them to push it out of the dish. Never thought about scent in the bowl, I tend to put them in the dishwasher and that can leave a nice lemony smell - perhaps not appreciated by Izzi and Breagh though. I may try hand washing see if that helps.

As you say if you're not overly bothered then no big deal, but this has turned into quite an interesting thread.
