As expected, as the snow melted, I found the cats’ missing food bowl.

…

Now I’m wondering, how on earth did it get there?  It’s not like it got shoveled up there by accident.  It’s under the newest snowfall, and a bowl full of frozen water woud have fallen right off the size of the shovel I was using, not to mention I would have felt the weight of it.

Weird!

I figured the cats would be happy, though.  I already filled two bowls with water, so I knocked the ice out of this one and filled it and the remaining bowl with food.

They rejected it.

Silly kitties.

They did actually eat out of it a bit, going back and forth between the two, before all of them went to the one bowl, even though it meant one of the cats ended up being pushed into a bowl of water.

Silly kitties.
