Rufous here. As official taster of all things edible* in this household,
it is my duty to make sure all the food tastes good. So why does daddy
Victor buy yummy tuna and salmon, but won't let me taste it? Doesn't he
know it has to have my paw of approval? Then he adds yucky stuff to it,
like soy sauce and lime juice. Ick.
We want some fresh fish too!

Rufous,
This is unacceptable behavior and is clearly a
serious case of Kitty Abuse and should not be allowed
to continue.
I've found that success is usually achieved with the proper
"cute look". For me, that involves jumping up on the
kitchen table, rolling on my back, and presenting my
best wide eye look with my head hanging over the edge
of the table. This works almost every time.
On occasion, my people continue to ignore me and
a less subtle approach is required. I'm then forced to
apply a firm, but gentle, nip to the ankle nearest the food.
Repeat as required, being a little less gentle with each nip.
This technique has been very successful, for me. YMMV
If that does not work, you have no choice but to jump
up on the counter and help yourself. I offer a couple of
caveats here, though.
1) The people will NOT react favorably to having their
dinner dragged onto the floor. Eat fast!
2) The leftover chicken with habanero salsa may look
tasty, but trust me, you don't want any.
If all else fails, call the SPCA as this IS serious kitty abuse.
Best of Luck,
TK

Hi Rufous,
Samwise here with some tips for you. First you have to let the know you are
there. Follow them around the kitchen. When they sit down to eat you have to
sit and stare at them. It always workes for me. Mommy always saves
something for my and my sisters.

U should get a job as a table boy. Then you sit pretty on the table
an' clean plates after peoples r dun eating an lick up krumbs.
Sometimes they tip you with ham an' stuff.
U better be reddy to eat lots of stupid krumbs though like lettus an'
stale bred.

Rufous, if you sneak up on the fish verrrrrrry slowly, and stretch out your
paw verrrrrry far, you might be able to snag a piece for yourself - I've
done so many times!
