PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

⬆️ PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy



Updated whenever the cats decide it's outdated.
  • 🐾 1. Feeding schedule


  • Cats are to be fed when hungry, which, according to them, is always.
  • If a cat claims to be starving five minutes after eating - believe them. You're late.


🐾 2. Approved food items

  • Gourmet kibble that costs more than your lunch
  • Wet food served at room temperature, on a ceramic dish
  • Treats (because they did a thing)
  • That expensive tuna you bought for yourself - it's theirs now


🐾 3. Prohibited food items

  • Anything labeled "vet-approved"
  • Leftovers (unless you're trying to insult them)
  • Generic brand food (how dare you)


🐾 4. Feeding etiquette

  • Do not make eye contact while they eat. You'll break the spell.
  • Food must be served with a verbal offering: "Here you go, dinner is served, Your Majesty."
  • If multiple cats are present, they all want what the other one got. Rotate plates. Begin again. Forever.


🐾 5. Midnight snacks

  • Yes.
  • Don't ask.


🐾 6. The "empty bowl" rule

  • If a bowl is 70% full, it's 100% empty.
  • Refill immediately. Apologize for the oversight.


🐾 7. Human consequences



Failure to follow these guidelines may result in:
  • Judgmental stares
  • Paw-swat to the face at 3 a.m.
  • Strategic hairball placement
  • Passive-aggressive purring near guests who like dogs


❗️Note: All policies are subject to change without notice, based on the whims of the feline board of directors.
