This cute kitty is hungry and wants a bite of that tasty morsel its owner is rapidly consuming. He can smell it’s good, he has asked nicely. Perhaps it’s time to put plan B into action.
Plan B is, unfortunately, to just steal the food away without remorse. Kitty grabs holds of it in its teeth, gingerly at first, before grabbing it and running off to ingest its pickings.
All cat owners will instantly recognize this behavior, unless they massively overfeed their pussies to the point at which they no longer crave whatever it is you’re eating yourself.
What really annoys me is when my cat begs to share my meal with me, then when I cave in, as I almost-always do, he decides he doesn’t want it after all. The fussy git.
