Girl Kitty is hungry but patient

For some reason unknown to me, I seem to be incapable of reacting in a timely fashion to the signs of the inevitable need to buy more cans of cat food for Girl Kitty.

She has switched to a diet of entirely soft-food since her unfortunate accident last year and the subsequent discovery of her tooth disease and removal of 5-teeth.

Since then I have proven over-and-over again that I won't go buy more cat food until I have used-up the last can and she is meowing to be fed. Last night I opened the last can, and this morning I fed her the last of it. Since she finished licking-out her bowl, she has been curled-up in front of her dish patiently and hopefully waiting while purring encouragement for me to get her more food.

Update: Food has been acquired, applied and appreciated. All is good and purry with the world.

    You're lucky to have so patient a feline! I had a cat -- a girl kitty, in fact -- who would signal her immediate need for food by jumping up on a shelf and swatting all its contents to the floor. One by one, of course.

    The only cure was to go out and buy cat food.

    We call the behavior of knocking things off their perch "Verifying that gravity is still working."
    It seems that every cat takes an oath at birth to test gravity at every opportunity.

    that happens to me with dry food. it's like the level of food in the bag inches downward very slowly, then all of a sudden, fwoop! all gone, and hungry kitties everywhere.

    Our kitty goes through quite a bit of soft food, but to be honest I think that Lola is swiping it.

    Is that a clump of catnip next to Girl Kitty? No wonder she has the munchies!

    I love that "stock photo". Wonderful! For some reason, I used to do the same with Tennison's food.
