Company for mealtime Does your Yorkie like to have company when he or she eats? Max and Teddy like to have someone close by when they eat their meals. When they finish, I have to rub their shoulders and sometimes hold them on my lap. I think they believe they are thanking me for their food this way. :) If I serve their food and leave the room, they are so disappointed! |
:D Yes, Harry needs company too! If I feed him and then dare to leave him, he'll stop eating immediately and follow me! I have to stand kind of leaning against the kitchen sink so I'm in his eye-line! And then I wipe his mouth and give him his treats - and then I'm allowed to go and get on....:D xx |
Yes, we noticed that all three of ours were only eating when we were near their food bowls. So, we moved the food bowls to our people space and now meal time is much happier. |
My now passed girls were like that, I had to be where they could see me lol. Cody lol, he doesn't care, he vacuums up his food so fast he's finished before I can leave lol. Silly pups. Ya just gotts love these little critters lol. |

I don't think my 4 mind either way, although I have to watch them diligently during meals bc some will try to steal from Marcel, who doesn't protect his food. |
Yes! Pippin will stop eating if I leave the room. Like me near. |
Piper likes to have a visual on me, but I can't just loll around in kitchen waiting for her to eat or she'll stop; if I appear to be busy (heck, I don't know), then she'll munch....But mainly, as long as she knows I'm not eating something better than what she has or she can see I'm not doing something fun, like playing with her flat squirrel without her...then she's pretty good. Though she never eats as much as I'd like--- |

Ours have to be near. Because Bella is on a special diet, we have to be careful not to cross feed. We would feed Bailey on the couch next to mama and Bella at her normal place. Still in the room, but about 10 feet away. Bella would never eat. So now we moved her bowl right next to the couch and she hoovers her food along with little sister. |
My two could care less if anyone was around but my darling sweet cat (rip) liked me to rub her back while she ate. |

Penny was a picky eater until I started giving her meals between us when we ate ours. I give her a tiny amount of wet food on a plate on the floor at each meal and she scarfs it down. Her dry is always out and she will come and get one of us when she wants to eat it. We stand by her and she eats. If we leave, so does she. I believe that classifies as spoiled but I don't mind. |

If I'm not watching Scottie eat, he won't eat. He'll turn his head around to check on me to make sure I'm watching too! Not that I have any kids, but it reminds me of how children in the playground needing their moms to watch them play lol... Casey won't eat unless he sees Scottie eating, and then will wanna start eating whatever he's eating. Ah....kids.... :D |
