These Kitties Received An Automatic Feeder And Their Reaction Is Priceless
Two tiny brothers, one automatic feeder, and a very dramatic reaction, that is the heart of this cat story. Cee Webster stopped by the Pixie Project in Oregon on a rough day and met Tucker and Finley, two inseparable kittens who were only about 8 weeks old at the time.
What started as a quick visit turned into an adoption, even though Cee was allergic to cats and never expected to bring home a pair. Once the kittens settled in, their bond, their routines, and their obsession with food made everyday life a lot more entertaining.
Cee never thought they would take the two kitties home. "I’m allergic to cats and definitely shouldn’t have cats."
"Tucker was this tiny little nugget, and he started kneading on my face and purring," Cee said.
After playing with them, they went about their day feeling better, but their minds were still wandering to Tucker and Finley. "I just felt like those cats are special," Cee said. "I was like, 'I just have to go get them.'"
Cee just couldn't bring themselves to separate them, so they decided to take both of them and disregard their allergies! "The mental health benefits outweigh having terrible allergies."
Ever since Cee adopted them, they smother each other with huge amounts of love and cuddles on a daily basis. "These guys are best friends," Cee said. "They sleep together and groom each other."
And if you love the Tucker and Finley “can’t separate them” energy, you’ll want to see cat duos that bond like siblings and make you want to adopt immediately.
Besides all the love they are receiving, they are also getting generous amounts of food. Cee decided to let them exercise before dinner so that they don't become too lazy and chubby. They got each of them a little toy mouse, which they call their "mousies."
"Finley is the athletic one of the duo," Cee said. "He loves to play fetch with his mousie, and I’ll chuck it, and he’ll bring it back."
Since Cee started their exercise routine with the mousies, they began to associate their mousies with dinner time. Then Cee got them an automatic feeder that portions out their food throughout the day.
"I got them the feeder so they could have some dry food throughout the day, and it would portion it out," Cee said. "It's on a timer too, so maybe they wouldn’t wake me up at 5 in the morning."
Finley and Tucker didn't really like this strange machine Cee gave them. "When I first set it up, they got freaked out because it made a weird noise," Cee said. "And Finley walked away with his tail puffed up."
But when they realized this strange noise-making thing gives them food, they automatically warmed up to it a little bit more. "Now they hear that noise and they go sprinting over," Cee said. "They also know what time it happens. Five minutes before, they go over and just wait there."
Soon enough, Cee noticed that Tucker and Finley's love for the machine was growing by the day, and they observed this in a very surreal way. They looked down at the bowl and saw that one of them offered their mousie to the feeder.
It seemed like this was a regular occurrence. "They used to bring me mousies. Now they bring the food robot mousies," Cee joked online.
Even though Cee doesn't have to give them food anymore, they still know that they are good for love and lots of snuggles.
But Cee still pauses when they think about their newly found relationship with the feeder. "It’s like the singularity - that point when artificial intelligence has taken over," Cee said. "There was actually a mousie in the food bowl this morning when I went down."
