Scary Mary gets plenty of respect from the other cats in the house.
Mary , Mary quite contrary.....
After the main feeding time there is a second feeding for those that need more food for whatever reason. Mary's bowl is by the refrigerator so she takes up a position in front of it and nobody with any sense goes near her.
Funny how they all cluster around together avoiding the kitchen cop, Mary.
Things are getting better with Mary. She is letting the cats go passed her closer and is less vicious when she does give them a smack.
I also give Mary a few pieces of dry food when I do the second feeding. This keeps her happy while leaving the others alone.
