HOW OFTEN Do your cats beg

**carole** · 11-05-2003, 06:26 PM

Actually both of mine are pretty good in this department, the only time Ash begs is when there is fresh chicken or pork around, then he is hanging in there, stretching his body up to the top of the bench , as far as it will go, with a very soft cute little miaow, (he is usually non-vocal most of the time), lexie never begs, but she will hang around if there is something nice to be had.

All three of my cats come running when they hear the electric can opener. This is from the days before their canned food had pop-tops--years ago...but they haven't forgotten the sound of the can opener. When I'm cooking dinner and they are off resting quietly somewhere, instead of disturbing them, I dig for the old manual can opener!! Have they got me trained? One of my boys joins us for dinner every evening...I started telling him he wasn't cute enough yet for a treat and he started rolling onto his back, paws in the air, looking awful darn cute....now I just have to say - You don't look cute enough yet - and he rolls onto his back. 'Course he always gets his treat!

Every morning as I get ready for work. It's as if they're saying "Please don't go to work today mommy. Stay here and play with us!" I then remind them that somebody has to make the money and until one of them gets a job, it has to be me.

They also beg when I get home from work, but that's probably because I feed them when I get home. Oh, and Ally ALWAYS starts begging when I make myself tunafish salad.

The only time my cats will beg for food is when my brother is making a ham sandwhich they come running when they hear him in the kitchen. Otherwise they are a cat food kitties!!

Every night at dinner time, Bonnie watches me until I give her a bit of what I'm eating. I've started feeding her at the same time but my dinner must be tastier

Also when my boyfriend is making his sandwiches for work, as soon as she hear the fridge drawer opening shes in the kitchen like a shot

My kitties beg anytime we are eating - but the weird thing is that neither of then will eat "people food". They beg - but then just sniff what we offer and turn their noses up!! The only thing I can recall them even tasting is some plain yogurt. Go figure! My previous cats would eat just about ANYTHING!!
