Leo has been sniffing round the kitchen all morning while the Beef has been in the oven.. ive just got it out & he wont leave me alone..!
If I chop it finely can i give him some ? He has all his teeth now.. Also if I put a little bit of the fat in would that be bad ?
I need him to get out from under my feet !
-
YES i cant see why not !!!
-
Although I agree with Michelle, if you give in you may well find that every day you will have a scrounging cat.
-
I agree with both posts below although we did that with Cleo when she was younger and now everytime food is in the oven she's next to it scrounging - whether it's chicken, beef or at the mo - lemon meringue pie!!!! She'll get a shock when the oven door is opened this time
-
If Leo is anything is like Zephyr he will snap your arm off for beef ....
With a name like Leo he's bound to love it (all lions like a bit of buffalo :rofl: ).
Go for it spoil your boy xxxx
-
Leo says Thanks!! He very much enjoyed his Beef !He lapped it up ! :evillaugh:
-
Glad he enjoyed it :)
-
Aw bless him !
Can WE have some now please ? :evillaugh:
-
I have to say, giving him some beef wont harm him, but I wouldnt' do it straight from coming out of the oven to avoid him getting used to begging, and I think I read somewhere you are best off waiting till you have eaten, and then putting it in their bowl to help with them begging for treats.
-
YESSSS give him the little treat, I do. Except pork now.
Though I do give them one little piece :shify:
-
He definitely deserves to be given treats but I agree with Desley, give him treats on your terms as otherwise he might get into a habit of begging for things while you're cooking. The boys don't get that much human food but when I do give them something I make sure it's after I've eaten.
I fell into the trap with Tiggy of being a complete pushover, if she woke up and came into the kitchen while I was cooking or eating I'd stop what I was doing to gently pan fry her some chicken and then blow it until it was cool enough for her to eat :shy: Lots of cold or burnt dinners for me!
-
my mum's dog and two cats would appear from nowhere on a sunday when they heard the drawer which held the electric carving knife being slid open...
also, Cosmo has started whining at me when he wants attention, strokes, cuddles etc - when I'm out he doesn't bother mathering up at OH 'cos he knows it won't work >:( me, I'm just a sucker...
-
I would be a complete pushover if anyone of my four would let me..................I really miss someone wanting my dinner ;D
-
I'm sure you're cooking's not that bad hun :evillaugh:
Only joking, I know what you mean with your furries Gill. I can lend you Max for a week if you like, then you'll know what pesking for food is all about :rofl:
He doesn't do it so much to o/h, more to me as I'm a complete pushover lol. He's better than he used to be, and knows that I'll always save him a bit at the end of the meal, so he'll sit there staring at my plate until I'm finished :evillaugh: When I first got him he'd literally try to hook food of you're plate when you weren't watching :shify: :evillaugh:

Lirael's gotten a few treats from taking food right off your plate. Lately Smoke & Penguin circle my husband while he's eating (they know he'll put his plate down to type something on the laptop computer), they both completely ignore me which is great ;)
Last night I made chicken and took bits around to each cat....
Lirael was on her pillow in front of the fire and I fed her tiny bits, she's not spoiled at all!
-
His dinner includes a part of our meal most of the time. I always set aside a bit and serve it to him just before we start our dinner so we can at least eat with a clean conscience even if he protests that it wasn't enough. But if he does have to wait because the food is still too hot, boy, we need to wear a metal armour on our legs... :Crazy:
-
The minute we sit down to eat Ollie and Portia appear. They sit very quietly for a while, then if nothing appears, Portia very gently pats my knee. I've lost a few pounds the last few weeks(through trying to eat more healthily) but watching those hopeful little faces makes my appetite go! I think it's moral blackmail myself. ;D

I hate scrounging cats, my dad is always giving them a plate to lick (sorry hygienic people :rofl: )
I make him save any scraps for the next meal they have, it also helps me keep check on what they are getting so theres no expanding waistlines :sneaky:

Max has been known to lick the plates before as well ...... as long as they're washed up properly, don't see a problem ;)

Im not fussed either ! (& I am a clean freak !)
