Remy will do this also. There are times that he takes his kibbles and goes to the area rug to eat it. I do have his bowls on a mat but he doesn't care about that. However, he will eat at his bowl when Roxy (cat) is eating at her bowl. It never fails, when she goes to eat then he goes to eat. It is so cute. Roxy tolerates a lot from Remy. He is always in her face and gives her kisses. Here are some pics that I took today of Remy & Roxy eating. One is of Remy trying to get at Roxy's food. I'm always picking up her food bowl when she's not eating because he will try and eat her food too.
