The Five Stages of Leo

[elbales]

1. You’re home! Feed me. I will sit here by the food place until your glacial monkey brain Gets It.
1a. Oh you’re not getting it? I will antagonize Calliope until you do.
2. Yay food! Balcony time.
2a. Attack the doormat.
3. Yelling time.
3a. I’m still hungry. I will antagonize Calliope until you give me more food.
4. Repeat 2 (and possibly 3, I dunno).
5. Sleep. Eventually.

Ah yes, I remember it well. In the days of Inky the Devil Cat, there was another step that involved sitting next to me and staring creepily to make me nervous, and then just when I thought she'd settled down, she would suddenly sink her needle-sharp claws into my elbow. Just to let me know it was food time. Good times!

ALL the good times! He pats us with his giant paw. While staring.

The slowest.

I am a "bad Mom" - I've displaced "responsibility" onto an alarm and don't feed my two dinner until that alarm goes off... (they're smart cats and mostly get it, which makes the shifts in Daylight Savings a little easier to navigate - I can gradually adjust the alarm to fit a reasonable schedule)

And it mostly works. But the chorus of, "STAAAARVING, feed us naaoooow!" that ensues once I start dishing out the food is something to behold...

Ha, oh yikes, I've been horrible about responding here. Yes, the singing, OMG. Calliope is a little opera diva. She's never even seen food. Never mind the distinctly bowling-ball-like shape, tortie cat needs food badly.
