Fatty our adopted ginger/blonde Tom, who subsequently was spayed and given
his shots is about 9 yo. He must have been someone's cat as he knows all the
tricks to get his way including hovering around your dinner plate for bits
of meat,..he doesn't mind if they are cooked, chicken (skinless) is his
favourite.

Mind you we give him and Misty raw meat from time to time and it was during
the last time I had some cut-up strips off the side of a piece of rumpsteak
that I played a 'trick' on him. He was fast a sleep on the lounge and very
quietly I held a piece of the raw steak about 1/2 inch from his nose. Took
all of 2 seconds for his olfactory nerves to transmit to his brain and
activate the 'wake-up' it's food time thing. In the instant he woke, he
swiped at the meat with 'claws activated',..my joke nearly got turned on me!
With a confirmation meow he jumped up and trotted to the kitchen where his
bowl is, while I followed with his meat,...they never cease to amaze..
