I am having a delay also when moving. I don't know how long of a delay, just enough to make it irritating June 25/25.

I deploy the 7 second rule if I drop food on the floor. (Excluding soup).

Wimp. Ya gotta give it, at least, 20 seconds and soup, 30.

Then surely food dropped on the floor is no longer there after 20 seconds?

Again wrong. Although I allow for to 20 and 30 second rules I am very quick at getting the dropped items up and into my stomach before the pets are even aware of the mishap.

My own beloved dog (RIP) could detect a dropped potato after 1.3 seconds. (Even if he was in a different room).

Once he was 4 miles away with family and rang me on the phone to ask if I had dropped a lump of cheese in the study.

I've had cats and dogs their smelling is around 10 times better than ours, they would smell any food the second it left your mouth or you dropped it. 😏
