Feeding time at my house can get a little hectic. So many mouths to feed.
@bbsmooth so grown! All 8 plus the mom! Some are quite long already…
Nice to see that some cats do eat out of the bowl with the ears. We tried that, but ours deal best from saucers.

My cats eat out of bowls, but they can't do it if I place their bowls too close to each other — the cats start poking at each other with their ears and get distracted because of it, it looks quite funny 😹
Proper spacing solves the problem for me.

Mine are smaller than average cats so they don't have any problems. Although one of my cats adopted this habit to pick the food out of the bowl with his paws — he had to wear elizabethan collar for a rather long time after my other cat gave him a bad scratch, he was abusing my having to remove the collar for him to eat to run away and hide under the bad and scratching his wound again, it took longer than a month for the wound to heal because of that.

He's pretty weird in a way that he has better… "manual dexterity" if I might put it that way, than most cats — he also uses paws differently when he plays with toys: most cats try to push the toy down to the ground — he tries to catch the toy mid-air as if he has fingers. Well, he does, but rudimentary ones — not like those of humans or monkeys.
It's quite entertaining how he uses his front paws not like cats normally do!
@m0xee @bbsmooth ooooh yes, Malik does that as well! Great paw dexterity.
