It takes me awhile to get some of my protein meals down.
This morning I made bacon and eggs (good farm eggs!). I take a break from eating and come back and a four-legged has snuck off with a piece of bacon and is nom-nom-ing away (inviting the other cat to join him).
The nerve! That's MY protein, cat!

Well, now the cats (born predators and compulsory non-vegetarians) and I eat pretty much the same thing. Eggs, meat, milk. Only thing we disagree on is soy, as it's not for them, they've told me.
But they were very proud of themselves after having taken down a bacon kill this morning.

A certain furry fiend of mine has stolen more than her fair share of my food. One time she struck a terribly cute pose and stole my PB sandwich as I tried to snap a picture. . .all I got was a furry blur and the opportunity to make another sandwich.
Oh and really I meant friend not fiend...really

Our three occasionally get banished to the basement, especially if I'm up and about and not able to keep guard on my plate.. it's as if we don't feed them at all.. They aren't cats, they're furry sharks.

My hubby has a jeep, and during the summer he takes the top and side panels off. One time he had gone to Hardee's and gotten a jalapeno burger (wrapped up, in a box, placed in a Hardee's bag). He stopped off at my mother's on the way home.
While he was there, a stray cat got into his jeep, got the box out of the bag, opened the box, tore open the wrapping, and extracted the burger patty from the bun and made off with it.
My hubby was sooooo mad! But it was funny! That cat was clever! ;D

That was a very clever cat! Good thing it wasn't a baconburger. He would have lost the bacon along with the patty.

Jo:
That's great! I'm going to call them my "furry sharks." They are enjoying the DS diet as they've been telling me to get rid of carbs for years.

Yep. My husband trusted the dog to ignore my maple flavored bacon. I left it to find something my husband wanted and he didn't have the brains to watch it for me. Late in the evening. When the stores are closed. No more in the house. Believe me, the dog was in less trouble than the husband.

When the stores are closed. No more in the house. Believe me, the dog was in less trouble than the husband. I took out a pound of frozen hamburger meat, laid it on the counter and went off to do the laundry. When I came back into the kitchen a while later, no hamburger. No trace of it nowhere. I thought I was loosing it and got another one from the freezer. Not until I poop scooped the yard a few days later and found a turd wrapped in plastic and styrofoam, did it dawn on me that my 80 lb doberman wolfed the whole frozen thing down, and not a crumb left behind in evidence. |

At least a cat would have had the decency to unwrap it from the plastic...

My mom made a bread pudding for our family's 4th of July get-together and we were out shooting off fireworks after dinner. I came back into the house first with my nephew who was tired of the noise and we sat down on the couch. My mom comes in a few minutes later and shes like "ok, what did you do with the bread pudding" Im like "what are you talking about" well back when my uncle was alive, when she would make his fav dessert, he would go hide it so he could have it all for himself so she kept on and kept on asking me about the bread pudding. A few minutes later, my sister goes to the laundry room for something and sees this pan on the floor and just picks it up and brings it into the kitchen and my moms like "where did you get that" lol NOW shes accusing my sister of hiding the bread pudding too...well long story short, my brother in law has cameras around the house both for security and to keep an eye on teenage boys when nobody else is home so he rolls back the video tape of the kitchen/family room area and sure enough, the dog jumped up and got it off the counter, ate the whole thing and carried the pan into the laundry room to hide it the minute he discovered he was in the house alone lol.

If I'd bake, mine would have done that He used to get my paper in the morning, one day I didn't get one, so he went across the street and stole the neighbours. I watched him, he actually looked both ways before he crossed the street. At first I was going to call him back, but then I thought, naaah..who's gonna argue with a 80 lb dobie |

Not so much protein on this one but...there MAY have been a time when I was in Kuwait that I had my hands on some vodka. I MAY have mixed it with orange juice and put the cup down on the coffee table. And I MAY have walked away to get something only to hear slurps behind me. Now IF this had happened I MIGHT have drank it any way seeing as alcohol was so hard to get in that country.

Happens here all the time. Charlotte stole my bacon today! I also have the problem of the tag team - if I get up, the cat jumps up, steals, and knocks it down to the dogs.

Turnabout is fair play! Steal his food tomorrow. The 9 Lives ocean whitefish goes good on toast. Kind of like a fine pate. I have 5 furry sharks and they would not dare steal my bacon lest they lose a paw in the transaction! I never leave bacon unattended.

sscopely20: How are they doing with the extra bacon treats? Are they gonna cuddle you extra special tonight?
Petham: Well, that was a nice “giftwrapping” for you, wasn’t it? Prost!
Reinventingangela: Too funny. My family also has a “Who stole the dessert?” story.
Justelizabeth: I see nothing wrong here. Should I?
Baileymouse: On the tag team. I’ve seen it before at a friend’s house. Cat would knock down treats to the (dumber, in this case) dogs.
Good to know I’m not alone!

We once left a whole bowl of chocolates on the high kitchen counter. The only way our dog could have gotten to it, was with the help of the cats!
He must have had 12 bars.
