Don't you love that "heave, heave" sound? It's not a regular occurrence but best suggestion I can make if you are on the scene when it happens is to get some news paper down quick - chasing one off will only make a spread. Other suggestion is if cat is a gobbler to reduce food it can take in one go but feeding isn't that predicable here - Pip likes to ruin Mewan with her cooked for the cat chicken, sometimes the cat will tuck into her cat food, other times she will say "there is far better around" and turn her back on you if you just offer cat food.

Messing, we have a problem at the moment. I can't work out the "psycology" but Mewan was thrown by her run of ops. Used to be good but now, even if outdoors a lot of the time, might ignore that and the tray and decide the carpet is a good place.
