Herbie_in_cat_food_tub

I was coming back from giving Snowball his morning Lasix injection — he’s in the isolation cottage right now — when Gloria saw me and called out, "I’ve got a blog moment for you!"  She was in the cat house, cleaning and feeding the gang there.  Gloria had opened the Rubbermaid tub to dish out some food when blind Herbie climbed into the tub to help himself.  And Herbie had absolutely no interest in leaving the feast.  (The ramp you see in the photo behind him is what the cats use to get up to the windows and the perching shelves on the walls.)

While I was taking photos, three-legged Honey Girl came over to see what Herbie was up to.  Fortunately she didn’t jump down into the tub to join him!

    Goes to show–you only need a good nose to find the food!

    Ahhhh, Herbie found the Mother Lode! He’s smack dab in the middle so Honey Girl didn’t really have a space to jump in. I hope he enjoyed his feast! Glad you caught him snarfing on camera! (you’ve learned to be fast with the shutter!)
    Big hugs all around,

    How funny! Herbie must have some dog in him, because cat’s just don’t eat like this. What a shot!

    Steve, don’t you know God didn’t make any dumb animals. Herbie proves that. He’s certainly made himself at home at RDR.

    Herbie must believe in the self-service approach to feeding … or maybe he’s trying to help you guys out by taking on the feeding task himself. Hey, give him points for being resourceful!
