Ha, cat! I have RECEIPTS!

@catsalad
The funny part is my cat seems to understand what this is for.
When I show it to him, he quits the act.
@hellomiakoda Loki: dang it...
@catsalad
The funniest was when my roommate had just fed him, and he came up here doing his "I need food" yowling at me.
When someone taps that button, the HA server also announces it via speakers.
He's up here yowling, when [alert sound] "Loki has been fed!". He stopped, looked at the floor a moment, and then left my room.
🤣

@hellomiakoda @catsalad I had a cat before and he always had a bowl of dry food and he ate when he wanted. He didn't get fat or anything. His teeth were in great shape always, because dry food is good for teeth. He had wet food once or twice a week or randomly for a treat. He had perfect teeth at 13 when he died because of vaccine caused carsinoma (cats should never be vaccinated in the neck, always in limb). I never brushed his teeth.

I've done that with previous cats. Loki, however, got picky

@hellomiakoda @catsalad My cat didn't like all dry foods, but most. His favourite food was green olives. He heard me open the jar from sleep and was immediately there to get some olives and lick my hand from the vinegar. Cucumber was also what he loved. If I left a shopping bag with a cucumber on the floor, he bit and ate it trough the plastic. To get olives he would sit and give paw.

@hellomiakoda @bhasic @catsalad It’s actually good. Cats don’t have a strong thirst drive and are meant to derive most of their hydration from their food. The high rate of cat kidney disease is in part due to them being chronically dehydrated. Cats don’t chew their food anyway, so hard food doesn’t do anything to clean their teeth.

Also, what’s that app you’re using?? Our cat is very guilty of the “I haven’t been fed” scam.
