The younger of my two, female, constantly picked up her food dish and would carry it into the room to eat it in comfort. She would often spill it and make a trail of mess.
The older male, expects his food dish placed on his bed where he will be laid waiting for it legs apart. He insists on eating laid down. Put it by his bed and he gives you 'that look' until you do s you are told. Once he has finished, he shoves the dish off his bed.
If she leaves any food, he will look at it, but never touches it. She is not as honest, she waits until his out of sight and she is in there :-)
I swapped both of their dishes, for plastic ones with skirts, so they cannot pick them up, one pink, one blue. From a pound shop.
