I just caught our feral permanent house guest, Finch, stealing kitten food.

You keep kitten food in an old litter container?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Yes. Cats would rip into bags.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 6 points 5 months ago

Also, mice will get into bags.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

There are ten resident cats and four fosters. If I found a mouse I would congratulate them for making it this long.

Cats will also get into old litter containers apparently. Nowhere is safe from oranges

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

But they can't destroy the litter containers structural integrity and spill food all over the floor.

How much was it per person?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

You have been paying attention. But I don't know the answer. Kitten food is for the foster cats and is provided free so I don't track that. And my wife is fully in charge of feeding the adult cats so I don't track that either.

But I can tell you that chicken feed costs about 8¢ per bird per day. Not sure about the geese or ducks.

He's just saving you the trouble of feeding it to him or trying to stop him helping the kittens finish theirs

We store kitten food in this old litter container. We store used litter in the emptied kitten food bag.

Looks like wooly mammoth to me

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

When we first fostered him he was about as dangerous as a mammoth. I tamed him and he went to a different foster. But it turned out I tamed him to just me. The new foster didn't know how to handle him and he regressed. So he came back here where I knew how to handle him. It took a few months to undo his new bad attitude. Now he is chill until you decide to try and pet him. But even that is manageable.

May the ground you walk quake as you pass!

[-] Australis13@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

Smart and/or determined to get into that container. You'll need to up your game.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Finch is typical orange cat brained. Maybe I'll install a lock on it.
