How can you keep from hugging him long enough to take a picture? I hope Matisse isn’t too jealous …

Jonesy is such a dick: Jake was getting his morning shnugglez in bed with me & missed the 10:30 AM feeding. Well, Jonesy did not… and ate Jake’s food, too 
I literally have to stand there (when/if I’m home) and watch them eat, bc Jonesy will snarf up his own portion, then get in Jake’s face and finish his. Jake is too polite to fight him, so I have to shush him away.

When I had 2 (
) they … all of them … (the duos varied in membership) had 2 bowls. What they would do is both eat out of 1 bowl at the same time, and when it was empty, move on to the second bowl. I have no idea why.

Oh, they’re pretty good at sprinting / flying / jumping to their own bowl, but Jake eats slower than Jonesy (probz due to his gum issues, poor boy), and then just lets him finish.
Unless I protect his food

Mr. Chubbalicious (a.k.a. Alfalfa) used to do that with Finnegan. Now, Murphy will go over to Finn’s bowl, but only after Finny has walked away. Meanwhile, there is still food in Murphy’s bowl. And eventually Finn will eat some of it.

Mine start in their own bowls, then switch back and forth through the day. I gave up trying to figure it out.

Same with my girls. They need different kibble though, so one has her kibble bowl on a shelf because the other one can’t climb that high anymore.

When I was in grad school (a million years ago) I house sat several times for a family with a pet rat, Rosebud, and she was extremely companionable. Shockingly and endearingly so, to my complete surprise.

They are much sweeter than one would expect. The 80s were a popular decade for pet rats, so several of my school mates had at least one (some even brought them to school!).
Lastly, who doesn’t make that happy face after being given pasta???

Only Michael Jackson could sing a song about a rat and have it reach #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 AND win a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. (It was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to the Poseidon Adventure’s “The Morning After.”)
