For all you kitties who think I am too hard on Binga — this is what I have to live with every day! Can you see me in my cat tree, trying to eat in peace? But no, I never can because I have the Evil Eye on me. She is just waiting for her chance to steal my dinner. And unless my human is keeping an eye on her or has locked her in another room, she will steal it! Half the time it puts me off my food completely.
It’s enough to drive a cat crazy.

We know exactly what you mean! I will not eat unless I feel safe and have privacy – you try doing that with 12 siblings! And girlcats count double.
Binga is a tortie AND a girlcat, so that should at least count triple!
I keep telling Wart to “chew with his mouth closed” because he smacks his lips and makes so much noise it ruins my appetite. I wait until he is done with his food and leaves the area before I can eat.
Bugsy does the same thing to Knuckles. Only difference, Knuckles doesn’t seem to care. He just watches Bugsy eat all the food. HH has to sit between them during mealtime.
Have a great day… I’m off to nominate now.
pawhugs, Max
Suey does exactly the same thing to me, Sparkle! It is a major pain in the pantaloons.
-Lishy.
We have purroblems with 6 plus strays when we eat outside. The outdoor only bunch even eats inside just to get some peace!
That is annoying, Sparkle. A cat should be able to eat in peace! You must have a constant case of indigestion.
We have lots of cats around here that feel the same way. It just isn’t any fun when some cat is watching you and you know they want your food. Binga needs to have her own private room for an hour during meal time. Good luck Sparkle.
What we hate most is Mum standing over us waiting for our dirty dishes so she can wash them!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
yep – siblings…..annoying, but not much you can do about it. sigh….
Sparkle, Sassy here. I understand the problem. I have to until after Callie eats before I start. Mommie put our bowls close together and I can’t stand having to smell her stinking furs while eating!
Poor Sparkle! Very upsetting. But you know what I think? There’s one in every family!
Well no wonder you’re just a little waif of a cat, Sparkle.
I’ve got an in with Hakeem from Real Housecats. He weighs in at a beefy 24 pounds. Just say the word. …uh, on second thought, he might eat yours AND Binga’s.
; ) Katie
Oh girl I feel your pain. One word – BOUDICCA! Ack!
But I *knew* when I saw the title who you were blogging about! I didn’t even need to see Binga’s pic! MOL
PURRS!

I hear you, Sparkle, because that is what I have to deal with. Genji is always lurking, just waiting to steal my food. #1 has to stand over me so I can eat in peace!
Purrs,
The Beebs
Sparkle, we’re pretty sure that would give us gas.
Well, more gas.
I feel your pain…
Sparkle,
Have a great weekend!!!!
It’s a juggling act fur sure. We have to feed our old boy Merlin who is anorexic from kidney disease on demand 24/7.
I could lend you AbbyGoat. She butts cats
Gee, I thought that is what sisters were supposed to do!
Ah peace. A valuable commodity, yes? Until we decide it’s time to SMASH that peace into teeny bits of litter!!
We don’t have that problem Sparkle. We eat side by side and just change dishes half way through. Mum doesn’t know why we do that because we have exactly the same food.
No one comes between me and my food!

We all share so we don’t have that problem. We even share with the woofies (it’s a weird thing).

Sparkle you have a private dinning room on the top of the cat tree is that because of Binga well look at it this way so as not to be annoyed that you have catering of dinner.
Awww… I know exactly what you go through. Grouik is always waiting behind me to finish my food. I like to eat slowly and regularly but he eats everything all at once.
Milou too is waiting when I’m not near my food to eat it.
Thankfully my human is more or less doing a good job keeping my food safe, but I can’t eat peacefully like I used to.
Purrs to you Dear Sparkle!
Binga is just being a centerpiece and minding her own business. Clearly you have one of those overactive imaginations common to award winning kitty authors Sparkle!
Isabella
PeeS: Thanks for the purrs for my sisfur Sadie.
Well, Sparkle, *I* was one of the kittehs who thought you were being too hard on Binga. But now, well, I dunno. On the one paw, you do look kinda sad and pathetic up there eating like you’re in San Quentin or something, but on the other paw, little Binga is just sitting there, FAR AWAY, minding her own business, right? I am going to withhold judgment till more evidence is produced.
Haha, I like that Binga is sitting in the centerpiece.
Dearest Sparkle, we’ve all got a “Binga”. Princeton would eat everybody’s food, take all the toys, run everybody out of Mom’s lap. We find that ignoring him is the best thing fur us. We eat in different places, though. Happy Caturday, xoxoxo. (Chicago did not do the Saturday song first. Whew!)
Pee Ess – we were wrong, Chicago did do it, but you can hear it with just Robert Lamm (writer) singing it. Much better.
That’s right, Sparkle, nobody likes to be stared at when they’re trying to enjoy their food!
Of course, Binga could just be wondering what the he** your food is doing way up there..hehe
Hugs,
Tom xx
Geez Sparkle… it is absolutely outrageous what you have to put up with. If you had not posted the picture for us to see with our own eyes, it just would not be believable!! Poor thing… you deserve special treats!!
Sparkle! Yous poor dear! Mes never thought about it much…Kozmo and me shares the same dishes. He is a scared of mes and when me wants to eats, me jumps up on the dish washer and growls at him.
Kisses
Nellie
errr…ummm…aaahhhh…I kind’a sort’a thought ya knew Sparkle…girls always go first…ya know…it’s what polite cats do….just sayin…
Marley is the fuds thief here. But he isnt sneaky about it. He just puts his nose in yer bowl and clamly starts eating.
We close off the cat who is eating. Otherwise, my larger (slightly overweight) cat will eat everything. Maybe Binga is resting and you just happen to be within her view?
