Empty Bowl Energy & Other Crimes of Catkind
Your weekly dose of chaos, catitude, and care — and this week, bread was involved.
FUR THE LOLS
(Because living with a cat is already a full-time sitcom.)
It’s the internet, so here’s what you really came for:
#1 This Week in Cat Chaos
The Starving Diva
My cat Fizzy won’t eat unless someone pretends to fill the bowl—even if it’s already full from the automatic feeder. He’ll just stare at it, then scream dramatically until we go through the motions. He wants the performance.
Spotted on X (formerly Twitter), @TheCatWhisprer
We’ve seen food drama. We’ve seen snack negotiations. But this? This is dinner theater.
He gazes at the untouched kibble like it’s been cursed. The bowl is full. The room is quiet. Then—Meow. Loud. Prolonged. Full of betrayal.
We approach. We touch the scoop. We do the fake pour.
He nods. He eats. The performance was acceptable.
Is he unwell? No. Is he a genius? Possibly. Is this emotional manipulation dressed up as meal prep? Absolutely.
He doesn’t want food. He wants commitment.
Seen similar acts of kibble-based gaslighting? Send ’em in — we’re hungry for more award-winning drama.
#2 Meme of the Week

We may never know.
But the suspect’s composure? Unmatched.
u/OneOrangeBraincell on Reddit
Chaos? Yes. Remorse? Never. This is the confidence we strive for.
👀 Think you’ve got a meme that tops this?
Send us your favorite cat photo meme — we might feature it in an upcoming issue.

We’re not saying this was drawn from experience… but it was.

#4 Poll Meow-ment: Time to Choose
They’re staring into the void. The tail’s twitching. The zoomies are coming.
But what’s got your cat’s predator instincts on high alert? Here's what those chaotic missions might really mean:
👻 A ghost only they can see
We don’t know who’s haunting your living room, but your cat’s been tracking it for hours.🔍 One (1) microscopic bug
You see nothing. They see vengeance. Do not get in the way.🧠 An intrusive thought
Perhaps they remembered the time you left them at the vet. Time to knock over a glass.🧦 That same sock. Again.
It’s not about the sock. It’s about sending a message.

#6 Cat of the Week: Betty White
Regal. Relaxed. Radiating cozy couch queen energy.
Betty White knows she’s the moment — and honestly, we agree.

Chaos, you sent, chaos we cherish.
#6 Paw-spectives from Last Week
Tail Talk Results Are In!
We asked: “What’s your cat’s tail mood today?”
The responses? Equal parts sass and suspense:
🐍 Tied for Top Mood:
“Twitching like it’s starting a fight”
“Curled like a question mark”
So basically, your cats are either gearing up for battle or mildly interested in snacks. No in-betweens.
As for “Floofy and offended” and “Gone under the bed” — zero votes, but we’re assuming those cats were too dramatic to participate.
Thanks for weighing in! New poll’s up — go tell on your cat again. 💅
A tip for keeping your chaos machine healthy.
#7 Purr-fessional Care
Monitor their water intake — quietly.
Cats are notorious for being low-key dehydrated. Make sure they always have fresh water available, and consider using a fountain — many cats prefer running water. If their bowl hasn’t been touched in days, it’s not “just them being picky.” It might be time to take a closer look
Have a go-to health tip of your own? Share it in the Group — we love a little vet-approved wisdom amid the chaos.
That’s all for this week’s tails, fur-iend!
Thanks for reading — I hope I brought some smiles to your face! Stay pawsome, and I’ll catch you in the next issue!
