A few of you mentioned chicken. Sometimes I will bring home a couple of BBQ'd chickens from the grocers. I have the same problems with my furkids as I do with them and pizza. But there are a few of them who do NOT get excited over the meal. There are about 7 of them that continually bug me over what I am eating. Those that do not get excited over my meals are Amy, Otis, Prince, Blue-Czarina, and Tiara. Otherwise all of my kitties with gray on them can be terrors when it comes to begging for food. One thing with the chicken is I can always give them the bones with some meat left on them, such as the legs and wings. They growl at each other whenever one claims a morcel. Yesterday, Littlebit (the smallest of the pride) growels the most ferocious and attmpts to hold off the others with her paw while she eats. The worst of them are Nikolai, Nightshade, Littlebit, Cookie, Fawn, and Tiger. It usually helps if I feed all of them first with a mixture of dry and canned food first before I get my meals ready.
