Confessions of a Cat Parent: Surviving Mealtime

Let’s be real: my cat is my boss, and meal times are non-negotiable. If I’m late, I get the death stare (or worse, a 5am wake-up call). Figuring out a feeding schedule was less about my convenience and more about avoiding feline mutiny. Kittens? They eat like tiny gremlins—three times a day. Adults? Twice, unless they guilt-trip you for more. If your cat’s got health issues (shoutout to my diabetic furball), ask your vet. Pro tip: If your cat is throwing up, try smaller, more frequent meals. Slow feeders are lifesavers for speed-eaters. And yes, I’ve set phone alarms because forgetting dinner means instant betrayal. If you live with others, make a feeding chart or risk double-feeding (and a chonky cat). Timed feeders are a game-changer if you’re not home. Bottom line: cats thrive on routine, and if you mess up, they’ll let you know. Loudly. #CatParentLife #PetCare #CatFeeding #Pets #Cats
