You keep kitten food in an old litter container?

    Yes. Cats would rip into bags.

    Cats will also get into old litter containers apparently. Nowhere is safe from oranges

    When we first fostered him he was about as dangerous as a mammoth. I tamed him and he went to a different foster. But it turned out I tamed him to just me. The new foster didn't know how to handle him and he regressed. So he came back here where I knew how to handle him. It took a few months to undo his new bad attitude. Now he is chill until you decide to try and pet him. But even that is manageable.

    How much was it per person?

    You have been paying attention. But I don't know the answer. Kitten food is for the foster cats and is provided free so I don't track that. And my wife is fully in charge of feeding the adult cats so I don't track that either.

    But I can tell you that chicken feed costs about 8¢ per bird per day. Not sure about the geese or ducks.

    Smart and/or determined to get into that container. You'll need to up your game.

    He's just saving you the trouble of feeding it to him or trying to stop him helping the kittens finish theirs
