I have observed over the years that some of my fur babies have strange eating habits. I am curious as to how everyone's babies behave at feeding time.
I have had a couple of females that I will call 'scooter eaters'. They will eat what they want and then try to hide the plate from others by scooting it around. Sometimes it might end up under a table, a dresser or under a blanket. They just want to hide it. Sometime it takes me some searching to find out where it is.
My worst eaters are those that are diggers. They take pleasure in taking the food off the plate with their paws and putting it on the floor.
The other strange habit that some have is they like to eat in bed or on the couch.
They will grab a mouthful of food and carry it to our bed or couch (which ever room they happen to be in when they get a hunger attack).
Then of course I have had those that don't like to share and will growl as they eat and I had some that liked to guard to food bowls (very selfish
)
I know many of you have the picky eaters. I am very fortunate that I have not had many of them over the years.
Now when it comes to treat time, most of mine are very good and patient. I do have two sisters that are like alligators when it comes to taking food from my hands. The others are very gentle. When I give treats I usually go from left to right but what is so cute is when the one on the left gets a treat then runs real fast to the right side to get in line for another one. These are sure smart little one.
I would love to hear from everyone about your fur babies little eating quirks.
