I have greedy kitties.
My cat, the Big Black Fluffy Thing, has had to be something of a good sport over the years. I got her as a kitten when I had a girlfriend living with me, and at about the same time we got a small orange kitten. When the girlfriend moved out she took the orange kitten with her so the BBFT became an only cat. During that time she got very happily used to my undivided attention.

Some time later a different girlfriend moved in, this time with a Jack Russell terrorist and an elderly Siamese. BBFT could no longer sleep with me at night and let the old Siamese know what she thought of him, but eventually things reached a reasonable level of snarkiness.

The girlfriend moved out, taking the terrorist with her but leaving behind the old Siamese. Some time later a new girlfriend moved in with an elderly but very active and grumpy short furred Smaller Black Hissy Thing who had spent most of her life as an only cat and was not at all amused with having to share space with either the BBFT of the elderly Siamese. After tormenting the Siamese terribly her next act of aggression was to start parking herself next to the food bowl- not eating, just making sure that no one else could eat without her permission.

I broke her of that habit, as well as establishing that she was not allowed to beat up the Siamese, but by then the battle lines were drawn. I would take the SBHT out of the way to let the Siamese eat, and when he was done the BBFT would dash in and scarf down as much as she could before going outside to avoid the SBHT. I would then release the beast, who would go over and chow down whatever was left. Over time the two black cats got rather rotund.

The Siamese finally died, so it was now down to two black cats. I figured that they would ease up a little toward one another, but no- there's still a war on over the food dish. What's worse, I suspect that BBFT is now going to another house and eating someone else's cat food. I limit how much I let them have in one go and the SBHT has gotten back down to a reasonable size, but the BBFT continues to grow.

I think I may have to rename her Tribble With Attitude Tendencies.

What can I say? I'm not really given to greed, and neither are the people around me. Cats are all I got.
