The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My cat is broken. Any amount of food put in front of her will be eaten as quickly as possible. Even if it makes her puke from being too full. She has zero self-regulation. She’s a former street cat so maybe that’s where she gets it from?

The only way I prevent her from inhaling her food in literally (I timed it - literally) 30 seconds is her lick mat. Mush her raw food into the mat so she has to lick it up instead of just smashing her face into a wad of meat. Now it takes her maybe a minute and a half.

One of my cats used to be this way. She was also a former stray, so I assumed it was from that. It got worse when I started feeding her at specific times because she got too fat. I had a problem when I got a new cat though because he wouldn't eat everything in one go but I also couldn't free feed because then my girl would just eat everything. I gave her a dewormer (which I never did because they're indoor only cats) and while she did have some problems with diarrhea for a little while, the food obsession is totally gone now. So it may be worth it to see if there's an underlying issue at play. It's normal for former strays to be like this for a while but after a few months or years they should learn to trust there'll always be food.

She’s had multiple rounds of deworming. My vet has given her a clean bill of health, but yet she still eats all food like it’s the last in the world.

It’s going to be a challenge eventually - my girlfriend has two cats that free feed. If we move in together, my cat is going to need to learn to chill the hell out or we’re going to need to get one of those smart feeders and only authorize her cats.

just smashing her face into a wad of meat.

Out of context, that sounds very porny 😄

I hate to think what porn you must be watching

I WAS going to specify "really bad porn", but didn't want to kinkshame anyone 😁

My girlfriend does this. She almost always leaves two bites of a meal, or the two last cookies, and then eats it later. She says she's eaten plenty and then puts it away for later. I still don't understand.

My partner just leaves two bites and doesn't eat it later. I also don't understand. She says she's had enough but if the portion were slightly bigger she'd also leave two bites.

For cookies I get it. I don't know if your cookies are tiny but I leave two or even just one.

I'm the same way and I can't tell you why. I've always had a weird aversion to cleaning my plate. Once juice or milk or whatever is below a certain level in the fridge it is also dead to me. No idea why I've been like this my whole life lol

Edit: Thinking back I used to get bullied about my appetite a lot when I was a kid maybe that's why. And yelled at for eating/drinking the last of anything now that I think about it.... Holy shit I think I cracked it wtf lmao
