i'm about to go feed them. i feed them a mixed diet of grain free, 86% meat-based kibble and freeze-dried raw food. it's easy - i just put a few of these freeze dried nuggets in a dish, smush them with a fork, and add a bit of warm water. after a minute or two, it's all rehydrated and i mix it up and my kitties eat it. they make very cute om-nomming noises when they eat. one of them almost purrs or growls while she eats. and one of them tries to 'bury' it sometimes; it looks like she's covering it with dirt. but her paws are just pulling along the pergo floors. like it's imaginary dirt.

i didn't know why she was doing that at first. after some research, i discovered that in the wild, cats with big kills get full. instead of abandoning their kill, they either drag it away (like leopards - they drag their kill into a tree) or they bury it. that way the scent is less detectable and the cat can come back later and finish it.

so sometimes, one of my cats tries to 'bury' her raw food so she can save it for later. when she does that, i pick up her mostly-eaten dinner and put it on the counter when she's done 'burying' it. then when she wanders back in a little while later, i put it down for her again.

so, yeah. that's what i'm doing.
