Does your Pet steal your food?

Over the years, my cats have been considerate about not stealing food.
However, one time....table was set including the salads. My yellow cat Jerry, could NOT resist the bay shrimp on top of my salad. Not my mother's salad, just mine.

Haha! Jerry what a cute thing to do!

Thats so sweet!

My doggy One Down, he doesn't steal food like look at it and then your face and start begging, what he does is that when's he's outside in the balcony and the door's closed, he looks at us and sits there wagging his tail, smiling and he's looks real sweet and even if he just did the world's terrible mistake, you'll forget it all! So, I give him a little treat

Austin B. is a PIG!!! I have to eat standing up most of the time.

Out of all my "kids", only two of the cats are prone to steal your food...

Adelaide is the worst about this! Then again, you can't leave her in a room alone for more than five minutes without coming back to some kind of chaos. She'll try to steal the food right from your fork if she gets the chance.

Despite Khaith being a rather ... hefty... cat, he only tries to steal yogurt. I think he could hear me opening up the cup if he were a mile away!

This thread has me laughing because... although my cat doesn't steal food, she insists on having some of mine if it's something she likes (for example, chicken!). The only time I've ever caught her stealing was when I left a stick of margarine uncovered on the table, went to answer the door and when I came back, she was up on the table licking it. My guests have cats too and they said, "Get a camera!"

Austin B. will walk right up to me as I'm EATING it and take the freaking bologna out of my sandwich!!! I mean, REALLY!!!

Oh Jerry you have good taste liking shrimp! He was probably full after he ate the shrimp from one salad and he knew you couldn't get mad at him so that is why he chose yours.

My cats do not steal food, but Buddy will put his paw in my drink if I have a glass of milk.

Also, Buddy will tap me on the arm or hand if I am eating something he would like a bite of.

When my cousins' were little, their home was made in a way that the cats (street) could easily come inside their home, now the cats practically started living in their veranda. So, once my cousin went inside to do something, leaving her glass of milk outside, when she came back a little cat was quietly drinking her milk and then swiftly ran away!

My dogs would steal food in a heartbeat. Don't walk across the room with food in your hand, Jake can jump high!

My cat(s) never stole much food, although they were caught on the counter looking for something that was hidden in the microwave.

My Cat Ninja...He is like a dog! He begs all the time and has no problem eating anything that may be on our plates! I can always count on him to pick up any food we drop on the floor lol. He even steals my bunnies food lol and his food is basically hay.

I'm not sure if hay is good for cat's to digest or not lol

Hmmmmmm....interesting.
So, does Ninja eat hay often ????
And when he "Meow's"....does it sound a little like a "Moooooo" ???
I'd get Ninja checked out. He might really be a tiny little cow that looks like a cat

Evie doesn't steal food but she does climb up onto our chairs and sits between us at dinner (we have learned to keep our barstools close together so she doesn't fall thru the crack

). She then stares right thru us with "those eyes" - who can refuse her anything???

And, that's how Eve manages to 'share' our dinner with us

Our little Gabby loves to steal food and if you put something on the floor for the other cats you can just bet that Gabby will get it first!

The new kitten Michael is worse then Gabby was! At least Gabby was somewhat particular about what he wanted. Well Michael dont care what it is! If he can steal it and chew it up he is happy. This little cat seems to like everything, but especially veggies & meat. He will even drink my ice tea!

The rest of the cats just politely beg

Hubby just reminded me that Michael did turn up his nose at some fried catfish the other day.
