I see Laura mentioned her cats that wait for their treats - many of my cats (current and passsed) like the leftovers (or at least to lick the plate) after I've eaten, and I find it's been very easy to train each one to wait. They sit patiently at my feet, and have even learned to recognize the distinctive (to them, anyway) rattle of the fork against the plate that signals I'm about to put the plate on the floor for them to help themselves. And dog people say you can't train cats! ! I also have a current cat (who used to be a homeless street cat) that would run with her treats to another room to "hide" them from the other cats! Bless her heart, I'm sure i'ts because in her homeless days she had to eat like that.
