I have to watch them the whole time they are eating. The moment I stop watching, Shuri runs across the kitchen and assaults Tuxie's food and he let's her and walks away, and once I extract her, he won't come back until he's done a full circle around the dining room and living room and back to the kitchen, and lately he won't come back and goes to sit in his bed on the couch in hopes I will let him eat in bed. If I do (yeah, I have--I'm a sucker) and don't watch, Shuri will jump up and pull his bowl onto the rug. Sigh. Meanwhile, if Shuri and Purrsimmon walk away from their food dishes, Tuxie will be in them the moment I am not there to pull him out. He also knows he can push Purrsimmon out of her bowl and sometimes does so. Shuri takes over Purrsimmon's bowl, too. Purrsimmon is unfortunately a nibbler, while Shuri is a guzzler. So there's the daily dynamic, 3 times a day.
