Oh, I didn't see the 2nd one.

Do the cats have assigned/consistent eating places, or is it just whoever gets to the bowl first?

They are assigned. They all chose their places and now they don't change. Not pictured is Hazel who gets locked in the basement. Otherwise she will inhale her food, steal everyone else's food, then throw it all up because she ate too fast.
