The cats don't usually eat together, maybe just one or two at at time. We have a large communal bowl filled with their kibble and they are free to graze throughout the day. Since there is no set "feeding time" they come and go as they please and are usually there individually.

The only thing that brings them to the kitchen en masse is salmon or tuna water that we divide into four little bowls whenever we open a tin. Salmon is the one they prefer and the second the opener punctures the tin they appear out of thin air and swirl and swarm around our legs and it is the only time I ever hear any meows; encouraging us to hurry up. The excitement builds and we have to put the bowls onto the floor at exactly the same time, Robert and I both with two in our hands "1-2-3 down!"

Next time I will try to take a video of the action and you will be able to hear the frenzied lapping of tongues which is surprisingly loud!
