Every morning, at o’dark thirty, Mom gets up to get ready for work. Dad gets up at the same time to turn on lights and make her tea.
Every morning, after showering and gathering her work things, when Mom comes downstairs she has more than just Dad and tea waiting for her. You see, there’s this “snack” routine thing, and Mom has no one but herself to blame. She’s the one who started it!
Viola, Pia, and Tessa each get three pieces of “snack.” Mom chuckles when she says these “snacks” are just regular kibble out of the cats’ big kibble bin, the only difference being that they are kept in a plastic sandwich bag and that she herself is physically touching each one. Maybe that’s what makes the whole thing special.
Things get even more “special” should Mom get wrapped up in getting her own breakfast and getting out the door for work and forgetting the snack routine. Imagine three disgruntled cats, three very, very disgruntled cats at three a.m. It’s just not the same when Dad doles out the snacks. Nope, not the same at all.
Don’t forget the snacks, Mom!

Another oddball day with just a single flashback post? Here’s a random one from 2016.
We laughed when reading this post. Jim has a similar snack routine, and only Jim can dole out the snacks.
Any snacks doled out around here are the same: kibble!
And there is no routine for them, so Da Boyz race into the room if they hear the sound of the kibble container being moved.
If CB has eaten Manny’s meal (we try to police but CB is fast!), then I’ll dole out some extra kibble just to make sure Manny get his fair share.
Poor Quint misses out on that. You girls need to fill him in. 🙂
Those are three very intense stares.
A snack is a snack. And it’s more special when the human gives it to us personally.
What a lovely morning routine ! Purrs
Snack time sounds like fun time!
I keep a sandwich bag in the bedroom with snacks for Mudpie too!
I’m not sure you’re getting enough snacks along the way.
I need to figure out how to get my human to do this. Nothing has ever worked.
Snack time is the best! Hey, it’s always snack o’clock somewhere!
