Oh geez, I am glad I saw this thread!

Archy is the world champion beggar; he is too chunky to begin with, and he loves food...his food and his brother's food! Everytime Jeff or I head towards the kitchen he's right there, underfoot, chirping, running ahead and then looking back to make sure you are following. It's not so bad in the morning, but later in the evening you can't make a move without him leading the way to the kitchen! Jeff usually gives him a scoopful of food before bed; otherwise we'd never get any sleep!

ETA He will come in the bedroom when we're watching TV or reading and will sit there STARING at us until Jeff gets up!
