People make jokes ALL THE TIME about cats who are regularly fed freaking the fuck out and acting like they’re never fed at all.

Cats just have absolutely maniacal food drives. I always wonder about it when I feed my cat, how could such a fat little bastard be feeling to scream like she never eats- why is it standard cat software

I had to explain the "mother I am but skin and bones" meme to my girlfriend who just got a cat and is like why is she always meowing for food. Thought it was common internet knowledge at this point but guess not

I use an automatic feeder for 90% of my cat's meals, so when he gets that crazy food drive (all the time) instead of putting that energy towards the humans, he puts it towards the auto feeder.

Best decision we ever made. He thinks we aren't in control of his food, so he doesn't ask us.

Just make sure he never sees you fill the hopper I guess

That's when you ARE in control, so technically wouldn't change anything until you forget to refill.

My girlfriend's cat started to slap the everloving hell out of her auto feeder. Eventually it started to drop little bits of kibble when she bashed it enough.

So she had to get rid of it and go back to feeding her manually because she just would not stop beating on the feeder.
