My new kitty is a prissy eater.
He paws one pellet of cat food out of the bowl and eats that one and then goes back for another. Lather rinse repeat.

4. Well duh! I mean, he's not a fanatic about his prissiness.

My younger cat does that with canned food. I have to mop up after him twice a day.

5. my sister's dog does that...
takes a piece of kibble out of the bowl, walks a few feet away, drops it on the floor, then eats it. Weird....

7. I imagine he's thinking "If you provided me with utensils....
....I wouldn't have to resort to this absurd one pellet at a time nonsense!"

6. My new kitty eats everything in large, unapologetic gulps
And eats damned near everything I put down in front of him. Kitties are a lot like people: a never-ending variety of personalities... Vive le difference!

She'll take a scoop of food with her paw (wet, nontheless, drops it on the carpet and eats it that way. On a related note: any hints for getting cat food stains out of a carpet?

9. I wish my cat had thumbs,
so that I wouldn't have to get up at 5:30 to open his can of cat food and feed him so that he will be quiet so that I can get another hour of sleep.

My little grey tabby, Esther, does this too. Thank goodness it's dry food because she's a really messy eater. None of my other cats eat this way (I have 4 female felines).

12. My cat is an 'Electrolux eater'
See bowl? See food in bowl? See cat? See empty bowl? :P

13. My kitty drinks water by dipping her paw into the water bowl . . .
and then licking the water off the paw. She'll sit there forever dipping, licking, and then vigorously shaking her paw off afterwards, then a giant groom-fest occurs.

14. Get Him a Flatter Plate.
If a bowl is too deep and not wide enough, cats' whiskers will bend when they hit the sides/edges of the bowl. Cats don't care for that. A wide flat plate allows Pussblossom's whiskers to flourish while he nourishes! Your kitty will thank you. 309
