Nutmeg just stole a chip..

LOL!!! I thought dogs were bad with begging, but my kitties are worse. I always eat on the coffee table in front of tv(hey, I live alone...why bother eating at the table, if it's just me? :p ). I am guarenteed to have a kitty in my lap, trying to sniff out what's in my plate. On rare occasions they get some...and one time I fell asleep on the sofa and Scout jumped up on the coffeetable and he and Gigi stole a piece of baked chicken(skinless with no bones) I was too tired to care so I let them have it! I will give them human food sometimes. I think chicken or turkey are much better treats than some of those packaged treats.

And notice how the very first thing that gets done is you find the camera and snap a picture instead of chasing sneaky Filou away. ;) :D

I am sooo glad to post after T & P's mom, Barbara, and China Doll. I thought I was the odd one out. My cats join me at meal time nearly EVERY time I sit down (usually at the coffee table, too!). In fact, if I am not wanting them to beg me, I stand up to eat and walk around. Like with cereal, OR meat.

I usually breakdown early on, and just cut some up and put it on the outside corner of the plate (do round plates have corners?). And, like "Terry", I share popcorn with Tex. He also leaves the soggy part. I always try to find him a buttery piece, with no kernal, but, he prefers his own pickins'.

It does get bothersome at times, having at least two cats staring holes in me...or when people come over for dinner, and I am forced to act surpised when the cats jump on the table, "Why, I never...what is going on....get off" all to totally blank stares from the herd...
