I'm lactose intolerant so there is no cereal in my house so I took this poll and used my dinner instead. Normally I have three or four that show interest in people food. (Unless it's chicken and then everyone wants some!) Leroy is my only rude kitty who stands with his head hanging over my plate waiting for me to give him a bite of whatever I'm having. If I take too long then he puts his paw on my plate and pulls himself off a bite! He has also been known to get on the counter, grab a biscuit, steak, piece of chicken, whatever and throw it on the floor for everyone to share. He is the only one that constistantly gets on the counter. I tend to look at it like this...At least he's not selfish and shares with the rest that are staring up at him and waiting for something to drop!
Yes, I will still eat my food after his paw has been there and I also would and have if he helped himself to a bite. Hubby on the other hand...NO WAY!
