Musical Chairs

Haiku and Taki like to sit in the same room that I sit in.  In the computer room, there are 2 office chairs which they usually use, and I am using a folding metal chair, like a card table chair.  I usually have a dish of dry food on one of the chairs, ostensibly for Haiku.  Today, Haiku was eating, and Haiku being Haiku, vacated her position when Taki came in.  Taki sometimes intimidates Haiku physically, by nosing her out of a dish, or hitting her, but Haiku is easily intimidated, or just polite, and usually just defers to Taki.  There is usually a second dish of dry food in the kitchen, so if Haiku is starving, she could go out to the kitchen to eat. Well, she did not.  So, I brought the second dish of dry food into the computer room, and put it on the other chair.  Haiku ate for a while, then vacated that chair.  Taki took it, and ate a little.  Haiku went to the chair that first had food on it and ate. 

I do not think Taki was hungry, she just likes to eat. Haiku is a picky eater, and sometimes this eating competition encourages her to eat more than she normally would.
