Hello Vicky. Fine name you have there (I too am a Vicky - short for
Victoria).

Some cats just dig people food. You've just been lucky so far that your
previous owners have not been overly interested in the stuff, but I've read
in this group of a cat that used to peer inside their slave's mouth to try
and gt at the peice of hame their slave just swallowed.

Perhaps you just have an "interesting" kitten.

Welcome to the group, BTW, and looking forward to hearing more about your
hoomin food mooching kitty.

I'd never really been around cats until Persia adopted me in 2001.  She's
not normally very insistent I give her any of my food, but sometimes she
gets "grabby".  She snatched a piece of melba toast out of my hand not long
ago and nearly choked on it.  I had to give her the Heimlich maneuver.  So
I'd say all cats seem to be different but be careful what people food they
get to eat.

Mine kitties used to do that to, but many gentle nudges off my lap with the
word "no" has worked!  They still beg every time I'm cooking something, but
now that my kitties are about 4 weeks older than yours, they're figuring out
that they'll get my leftovers when I'm DONE.  (I still feed them bits from
my plate though.  <g>.)

I recently adopted a 4 week old male kitten and have no experience in raising
one. I have the same problem, where the kitten would not stop chasing after
my food, and it got more and more aggressive towards getting into my food. I
tried saying no, but it would just coming back for it, that I would usually
lock the kitten in its carrier until i finish eating them let it out. Can
kitten eat human food? Isn't it harmful for the kittens? I thought human food
is bad for their health and shorten their life span. Other problems with
chewing or bitting lightly on human body parts sometimes, get a little antsy
when i file their claws after clipping them, and get rough when i wipe it
with a damp cloth. Any idea how i can fix them?
