If you give a cat some chicken.........
He will probably find a way to get some more.....
He will consider the risk, by taking a sniff....
And then go in for the score!
In our house you have to watch your plate or something may just end up missing.
Our evening routine usually goes like this. Make dinner. Sit down for dinner and an episode of Star Trek (I know kind of dorky) and inevitably be joined by our cats.
The key is not to give them a taste until your plate is almost empty. If perhaps you cave in, giving a cat a bite, then the chance of having a peaceful dinner is highly unlikely. Your dinner time will look very similar to the progression of pictures above.
First a cat will try to hide behind any inanimate objects on the table, example: salt and pepper shaker.
Secondly, as you take a bite and your eyes off of your plate, the cat will get in as close to the action as possible all the while considering the options. Lastly, at the opportune moment a cat will go in for the steal with a swift move of the paw.
As yo can see, our cats are very clever. So next time you see a sign that says 'don't feed the animals' take warning and don't feed the animals.... or at least wait until your plate is almost empty.
