Karen,

Yes, I really" blew it" on the Velvetta with Smokey. Never
should have given him that first bite. He never begs my food.
I was very bad with Buddy in that regard & it took me a long
time to un-train him. Never did actually, but he got much better
at waiting for a tidbit. Smokey can smell food very well, but does
not ever ask or expect any of it. I've always fed all my critters
before I fix meals for myself. It's easier for me & I never get any
guilt trips.
