He *may* have, but I doubt it. I didn't seek up on him or anything, he saw me walking towards him. I can put my hand in his bowl, take his bowl away, touch him, etc., when he eats and if I tell him to get back from the dish he does, but apparently scooting the dish is a no-go and I get growled at?
Regardless, it's not acceptable purely for instances like today where I just want to scoot his dish out of the middle of the walk path. Guess we'll be going to the basics of "human approaches dish, human moves dish, tasty treats rain from the sky" type things.
He has gone after Histamine before if she approaches him while he's eating. :/ Don't know how to put a stop to that. He doesn't care about Cynder because he knows she won't try to eat his food, but Histamine is an idiot and tries to stick her face into his bowl, so he'll snap at her if she's near him while he eats.
I'm just a bit boggled that he's defensive over his food dish, but he can chew on a bone or stuffed Kong and we can take it away and animals can be practically on top of him and he doesn't care. Guess that's a good thing, though, and I won't question it.
