What do think I just found on my kitchen floor?

Scrappy 2 used to be bad for that when she first came inside, as she was always so HUNGREEEEEEEEE!!! If something was coolong off in the pan, Scrappy 2 would be sampling.
I had a photo of Sam and Precious attacking the chicken legs on the stove thats priceless.
As My Found Cats say then are 10 and I am one, I really do get more than my share of the food around here!!!!

Randi, that is SO funny!!

Remember the 10 second rule. Just brush the dang chop off and toss it back in the marinade.

Oh Fiiiiiissssster, come here and lemme smell your breath, pretty kitty.

That reminds me of the time my Mom (bless her soul) made a pan of lazagna and left it on the counter covered with aluminum foil. She called when I got home from school to tell me to put the lazagna in the oven in time for dinner. I said, "Mom, I don't see any lazagna. All I see is an empty lazagna pan on the floor, aluminum foil very nearby and one VERY guilty looking Airedale.

Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories!!

Oh Fister...two words...TIC..TAC!
Reminds me of my childhood cat, Gigi. Heaven forbid you had to get up to get butter or soda or anything at the table. She'd jump up on the chair and non chalantly put her paw on whatever was on your plate. No stealing, no begging. Just knowing FULL well my mom wouldn't let us eat anything she had even TOUCHED. LOL. She'd just wait to be served the "kootied" food on her plate!

Cats sure are sneaky. I know better than to leave any food on the table unattended because Starr and Ziggy will eat almost anything. I guess Fister just thought that this was a big kitty treat for him.

I, myself, would have also preferred the swiss from the Dagwood sandwich. There is no cheese (or dairy product) that's safe! I once came up and asked Mom, very politely of course, while she was eating cottage cheese if I could have a sample-just quality control, you understand!
She didn't cooperate! Well, I can't help it if there was a problem with it!

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?

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!

[cassiesmom]

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!

[phesina]

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