Cats and food

?si=6y5OuxoAn4xA-lPf

Through my life I've probably had maybe 30 or so cats ( this includes childhood) only one behaved this way. So please if you've never had a cat, don't think this is all cats.

He would beg for them. Used to sleep under the covers at my feet. That's his pic below. Cisco.

He would get them out of the kitchen garbage can and trot around the house like a dog with his prize. We eventually, would put a small buttered cob in his food bowl. Lived to 18 years of age. Another cat, a blue point siamese just like in the video, would try to take food from you. All of our cats, if plates were left on the coffee table unattended, would check out the food, taste it, lick it. And yes, we have even had climb up us their food was being prepared. We would always ask a family member to "Keep an eye on my plate," if we had to to another room.

Very funny video. We've had about 18 cats in 50+ years.
