My experience has been more like
“As a cat I am no one’s… Hey, where are you going with the food? Hey, hey! HEY! I AM YOUR CAT! I AM YOUR CAT!”
Unless it’s within two hours in either direction of the cats feeding time, in which case “I wuv u, have u noticed ur poor kitty is starving and the food bowl is empty? Here let me get all up in your face in case you’ve forgotten about me…”
Meanwhile their bowl has plenty of food in it, but because the bottom is visible, the rest no longer exists
I’ve heard that the issue for some cats isn’t that they can see the bottom, but that their whiskers hit the side of the bowl and that’s uncomfortable.
Yeah you’re supposed to put their food on plates, that’s also why they often won’t drink from water bowls, hence the market for little fountains for them to drink from.
Cats would literally rather die than rub their whiskers against something. I can almost relate.
I have a black kitten who LOVES belly rubs. He’s so weird.
I don’t think I’ve known a cat that didn’t like their belly rubbed.
I think it’s just a trust thing. Cat ain’t going to like their belly rubbed if they don’t trust you.
