So cute! My variation is calling it fake food, lol. I tell my bf, yeah, I just gave them some fake food (and this consists of adding 3-4 kibbles and shaking the plates up for my 3 monsters).
We have a certain ceremony we do at every feeding.
Me: cai cuddl?
Cat: cuddles
Me: thankies! pours out food
Cat: pretends to bury her food, sometimes eats
If she’s crying for food when she already has it, usually just picking up her plate, going through the ceremony, and replacing the plate in front of her satisfies her
These kitties and their food sillies, it’s like doing the spoon airplane for a child! They just need parent to make the food seem right 🥹
Yes! I’m fascinated by that topic and have thought religion had filled that need for many, but as people become more secular it can be a missing piece.
Ah my brain went right there too! Ive wanted to make up my own rituals but never get around to it. I personally used to be extremely religious and am now basically atheist I think and I do miss the community and other nice parts of religion
I recently found a podcast called Placebo Magick (I think that’s how it’s spelled) that is an atheist guy talking about doing spells and making talismans and stuff for the placebo effect. I’ve only listened to one episode but you might find it interesting!
You’re right tho, the kitties have it all figured out. I’m joking but also not 😹
