Boots da Kat (RIP ) was both an experienced Counter Surfer AND "Crafty" in his younger years ...

I was building a Dagwood Sammich - ham, salami, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, pickles.
The Swiss slice was on the plate, ready to pile on, when the phone rang.
I answered and wandered into the dining room to sit whilst I chatted.
Da KAT was observing from the dining room table.
As I sat, he sauntered past, used my lap as a stepping stone, and did a quick *hop*
onto the counter. A short walk over the stove and "BINGO!" ... Lunch is served.

He never even paused as he *snatched* the slice of Swiss and leaped off the counter ...
next stop was the tub in the baffroom ... his sanctuary.
By the time I got to him, he was bolting down the last bit of the Swiss slice.

KATZ!
