ROTFL. My first answer was "a hairball", lol!!
My little Snoopy is such a counterthief too! A while ago, she disappeared to where I couldn' reach her, with Bernard's steak between her teeth :eek::eek:.
And last wednesday, she stole a leftover "drumsteak" from our roast chicken; I normally do not leave any food on the table; but I got a telephone call right after we finished lunch...........:rolleyes:
HEY Fister, did you like that garlic taste??? It is NOT good for your breath ;):D
Cassie wants to know why she is not lucky enough to find anything that delicious.
wow, we've left food out all night by accident and sig has never touched it. of course he's not allowed on the table or the counter. but i always figgered when we're not looking, he'd do it anyway. chuck never did that stuff either. and he, i do know did get on the counter once in a while. but he wasn't a big people food fan.
aki :D
We are very lucky. Out of the 12 only 2 are counter thiefs, Lenny and Boots. All the rest know that the counter is off limits. Daddys food is there and you DON'T MESS WITH DADS FOOD. If you do you get very very wet.
Andy and I were dating and were having dinner at my parents. Reebok sauntered over and when Andy looked away for just a second, a black paw darted up, snagged the pork chop off his plate, and off Reebok ran. :eek: :D

**SPLAT** and the white-socked Paw would hit either the moving spoon
or the on-the-lap bowl - whichever he thought was closer.
Long before I could ever react, Boots was happily *lickin off* his ice cream covered paw.
:D
Randi, that is SO funny!!
Remember the 10 second rule. Just brush the dang chop off and toss it back in the marinade.
Oh Fiiiiiissssster, come here and lemme smell your breath, pretty kitty.:p
That reminds me of the time my Mom (bless her soul) made a pan of lazagna and left it on the counter covered with aluminum foil. She called when I got home from school to tell me to put the lazagna in the oven in time for dinner. I said, "Mom, I don't see any lazagna. All I see is an empty lazagna pan on the floor, aluminum foil very nearby and one VERY guilty looking Airedale.
Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories!!
Oh Fister...two words...TIC..TAC! :)
Reminds me of my childhood cat, Gigi. Heaven forbid you had to get up to get butter or soda or anything at the table. She'd jump up on the chair and non chalantly put her paw on whatever was on your plate. No stealing, no begging. Just knowing FULL well my mom wouldn't let us eat anything she had even TOUCHED. LOL. She'd just wait to be served the "kootied" food on her plate! :D

Cats sure are sneaky.:) I know better than to leave any food on the table unattended because Starr and Ziggy will eat almost anything.;) I guess Fister just thought that this was a big kitty treat for him.:)

I have to sneak around eating tuna....the tuna 'juz' is what gets the Edster's attention.:rolleyes:
Ha, ha! That's exactly what I did, but no garlic breath. :)Quote:

He probably sniffed it and was so dissapointed that I had ruined it with garlic, that he pushed it off the counter like it was trash. Well, at least I got to eat my 3 lamb chops. :D
Nawtee kitty. My RB Cally was a great one for nicking toast out of the toaster. Put 2 slices of bread in and only one piece of toast came out
Ah, Fister, I'm sure that chop just wasn't quite ready to be cooked and jumped off the counter all by itself. :D
(Cooking the chop should have killed any lingering germs by the way!) ;)
I've just read through this thread again, and isn't it amazing... before I lived with a cat, I would have sworn I'd NEVER let him on the kitchen counter! In the beginning when we had Fister, I even said: He's NOT sleeping in our bed! How utterly naive! :rolleyes:
Concerning food a cat has touched... I've never heard of anyone getting sick from eating it. :D
I, myself, would have also preferred the swiss from the Dagwood sandwich. There is no cheese (or dairy product) that's safe! I once came up and asked Mom, very politely of course, while she was eating cottage cheese if I could have a sample-just quality control, you understand! ;)
She didn't cooperate! Well, I can't help it if there was a problem with it! :rolleyes:
