desperanceBarry eats faster than Mac; and then, if I don't stand over them and keep them apart till Mac is done, he muscles in and eats the residue of Mac's meal too.
Very briefly, while dealing out their tea this evening, I had a bright idea: if I give Mac more than Baz, then Baz will only get to eat the excess that should have been his in the first place, and all will be equal and well.
But then, of course, I realised the flaw in this, that Baz would then finish eating even sooner, and so muscle in on Mac earlier, and so eat even more of Mac's. Or would it all work out the same anyway...?
Oh, I dunno. There's probably an equation, like the one that says that hot tea cools down quicker than cool tea, or something. Greedy cat eats quicker than idiot cat, but if a cat is both greedy and an idiot, then...
If you saw them while tea is being laded out, you'd think Mac was the greedy one; he's the one that make the desperate O-my-god-I'm-dying-of-the-hunger fuss. But Baz inhales, where Mac stops to chew. Idiot.
