Starving Kittenses
May. 24th, 2002 08:36 amI'm an evil step-kitty mom. I let my babies run out of food this morning. This afternoon I plan to empty their pockets of rocks and bread and lead them out into the forest. Either that or go buy food.
Hobbes is usually pretty insistent about his petting in the morning, so it takes me a few minutes to clue in that that particular tone, repeated ad infinitum, is him saying "Mommamommamomma! Feed me! I'm hungry! Feed me!" in Cat. He won't wake me up, but he'll start complaining as soon as I'm vertical and mobile. And really - he's worse than a toddler with a noise-maker.
They've got a gravity feeder, and I knew they were getting low, but it still surprised me when I realized the bag was empty, and I was also out of the little cans of wet food I use for treats or to shut them up until I can get the dry food. So the little sods got the good tuna to tide them over, and I'm headed for Petco as soon as I get off work.
