What do think I just found on my kitchen floor?

Kitties in my house are not allowed on the kitchen counter. Of course they still get up there, but I immediately get them down. Taz, being a senior, is smart enough to get down on his own when someone walks into the kitchen. Paizly needs to take notes.
We have a small table we eat at in the kitchen. For some reason Paizly 's to be on that table. And we let her. However, we don't like her there while we are eating. I think she's learning when she can and can't get up there.
Then there is the dining room table. Which I don't care if either cat gets on. We never eat in there and it's covered with the cats food and things.

So yeah, I was surprised at myself for even letting Paizly get on the table we eat at. But those darn kittens!!

My RB babies, Tigger and her brother Tony were really good at helping themselves to food. Imagine my surprise one night when I got up to use the bathroom and noticed a light on in the kitchen. I figured that Mark must have forgot to turn off the light so I wandered downstairs to find 2 kitties in the fridge. One had the lunch meat container open and was helping himself and the other was sitting patiently waiting for her turn. How they managed to open the fridge door is still beyond me. Oh well, what ya gonna do?

THATS ONE THING THAT TUBSTER PANTHER AND TUBBY ANGEL WERE VERY GOOD WITH, AND THATS THE FACT THAT THEY DID NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW GRAB FOOD FROM THE COUNTER , AND I THOUGHT THAT THEY MIGHT, BEING FERAL CATS.
BUT NO, MY BLACK GIANT IS AS GOOD AS GOLD!!!

He he! What a naughty - *coughcough* smart kitty Fister is! LOL

Lily says she's really envious. With her mommy being a veggie, she cannot steal such yummy things from the table!

What a great thread! Not too long ago I took a few things out of the freezer for dinner, one was some shrimp. When I got home from church I went to start cooking, everything was there EXCEPT the shrimp. Soncat and I looked everywhere, we even checked to see if the shrimp never was taken out of the freezer. Not a trace of the package anywhere. We even checked to see if it somehow got in the trash. All we can think is that Groucho got the scent and took off with it while we weren't looking but we certainly don't want to make any false accusations. A few weeks later our dinner was to include shrimp so it went from the freezer to the sink. This time it was found on the floor partially under a cabinet, Groucho had that "What, me?" look on his face. Now when shrimp is part of the menu, it goes in the fridge and not out in the open.

Kitties, gotta love 'em

This is Pinot's Mom, clarifying...we don't "allow" her on the counters and tables, but at times, you don't have a choice. That was what was so remarkable about the cottage cheese incident - she walked onto the table while I was SITTING there! It was a BIT bold!

Oh, Fister! Cassie Cat is jealous - I don't like the taste of lamb, so she never gets it either. I am fortunate because she has never tried to hop up on the kitchen counter. Tables, yes, but never the counter.

True Cassie story: I was part of a progressive dinner for my single adult fellowship at church - I had the soup and salad course, and I had bought French bread and butter to go with it. I went to the door to let in my guests and when I came back, guess who was up on the dining table licking the margarine out of the butter dish.

Don't blame the cat, check the closets for Vegetarians!

Cassie's Mom, I bet your dinner guests were so relieved that Cassie checked out the butter for poison and didn't find any!
