'Short' version of the backstory: With immaculate help, we've established Chubbs has resource guarding (food, water and toys... okay and 2 seconds ago it has upgraded to his leash.) The water even includes ice cubes! So We only hand feed. If we put his food in a container on the floor... watch out! However, in a container and he can still see while hand feeding... submission & full body shaking (4 people have seen the videos I took of the shaking so I'm anxiously waiting for their responses.)
During 2 separate feedings my cats (2) have come and checked things out. The first time it was just the 4 yo cat and Chubbs seemed to not acknowledge him. The second time was this morning. Both cats came over. I let them sniff Chubbs' food and he just laid there wondering why. He didn't get up, growl, NOTHING.
So my question is why, if he has RG, does he let me hand feed and ignore the cats while eating? Same goes with drinking water, although now he drinks less because he expects a treat (puppy class.) So frustrating. [emoji45] [emoji174]
