Ok, this isn't quite as bad as it sounds :-)
I visit my friend and help with her foster cats 3 afternoons a week
and I have to leave home just before my lunchtime. I have quite a
strict regime for eating - small quantities every 3 hours - to keep my
blood glucose levels stable (not diabetic but prone to hypo's) so I
take my lunch time sandwich with me and eat it before going to feed
and play with kitties.
My friend has a cat called Mole who she hand reared and he thinks he
should have a share of any human food being eaten - you can see where
this is going can't you ?
I sit on the sofa and take my sandwich from it's wrapping and suddenly
there are a dozen eyes staring intently at me and I get an
uncomfortable feeling of eyes boring into the back of my head. I try
and ignore it and take a bite of my sandwich when suddenly from behind
me a paw appears and tries to hook my lunch, the paw is followed by a
large furry head which takes advantage of my surprise and steals a
quick bite from my lunch. So there I sit surrounded by cats who are
staring intimidatingly at me, sharing my sandwich bite for bite with a
large black and white cat called Mole........ now if I only knew what
Mole offered the other cats as a reward for helping him mug me for my
lunch I might be able to come up with a better offer !

Lesson learned: next time fix a sandwich for them also! MLB

LOL! That is hilarious, Shirley! Next time, maybe you have to bring Mole his
own sandwich.

LOL Until recently The Beast has always acted his name but he has
mellowed significantly in 3 years. But. I reently sucuumbed to a
temptation and got some turkey bologna on sale. I mean, it's not that
I'm a vegan, occasionally I must have a relapse and the thought of
bologna on whole wheat with raw onions and mayo or horseradish, Yum.
It's been decades. But when I sat down and reached for the paper, Beast
reverted to form and took a snatched bite. The only evidence was his
self-satisfied smirk as he munched - the rest of my snack was with one
eye on Beastie!
