'Work that ought not be did?' - Cat Psychology study needed?



2018-07-20 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
One of my jobs on our fertile one-acre farm is to feed the livestock. Standard breakfast is at 6amCT. No matter how punctual, however, Blue always gives a look of "What are you waiting for? Do I have to call Cat-Abuse to get fed?" The same occurs every morning, even when breakfast is served at 5:45am or 5:40am, 5:30am, whenever. Same Blue gave me one of those looks response. This morning, in an experiment, wake up meal was backed up to 5:06am, I believe, and Blue ate ravenously, without even a "How'd ya do," for my efforts. The hypothesis is that incrementally, cat feeding could be backed up one whole day with no cat thank you. To avoid work that "ought not be did," does anyone know if this experiment has already been done. Wouldn't want to upset Blue's Circadian Rhythms unnecessarily, any less than break my own commitment to not doing work which ought not be did. Of course, if this is epitaph worthy scholarship, encouragement and funding aid appreciated. - EW
