A while backed I figured that if I like eating from clean dishes my pets would too. So I got some cheap enamel metal bowls and use clean ones for my dog and cat.
Anybody else do this?
ETA: I’m not weird and I’m happy all your pets get clean dishes. It was weird for me growing up.
Our old girl Chloe (18 - I call her Kitty Bear) is blind now (poor little thing), and spends most of her day on her bed on the couch next to my wife. We feed her on a small plate of food that we bring to her bed, and her dishes get washed after every use. When she is thirsty, she gently puts a paw on my wife’s arm, and my wife holds a cup of water to her mouth.
Nothing is too good for our sweet girl. She’s the last one standing of a beautiful cat family that lived with us all these years. It started when a big steady tomcat we named Jake befriended my son, moved in, decided we were acceptable, and then went and got his beautiful Siamese girlfriend Maggie (I called her Mama Bear), and their three kittens. No humans were consulted in these decisions.
Chloe (I call her Kitty Bear) is the last one. We wash her food and water dishes every day.
This is so sweet. You are good humans, I can see why you were picked.
We always felt privileged to have such a wonderful cat family to watch grow. They were more entertaining than cable tv.
