Kerry, Actually, it is progress!  They ate in front of you.  I'd take it up a notch.  When they're hungry, instead of putting it down for them right away, kneel down low with the bowl close to you, toss them a piece at a time and get them used to understanding that the food is coming directly from you.  It will also help them get used to the fact that when you move, it's not always a bad thing!

Last night, I sat with the dry food that they love right next to me. They did eat, but very warily, heads in the bowl. As son as I made the tiniest move, they flet. The boldest one, Flavia, came back, but this time she used her paw to get the food out ---so she could carry it off and eat it in peace. Very smart, but not progress! <>Kerry
