LOL Smart kitty. It works, so he keeps doing it.

If we don't pay attention to Tubby when he begs at the table, he will put his paws up on our legs (as he's standing on the side of our chairs). We call it "bapping." See, he learned real quick that his Daddy can't refuse a bap, so the bapping continues. Peanut just looks at us with the big sad "I'm such a poor starving kitty" eyes. Her Daddy can't refuse those either.
