For a kitty who is supposed to be fussy, I’m surprised that Peekaboo is so happy with Jimbo’s food!

Your bowl of sardines will do very nicely, thank you.

My learned long ago that if she walks around on my keyboard enough, I will stop what I am doing and feed her.

Never leave your food unattended when a cat is around.

Lewis LinsonDo not indulge your cat. Every time she starts to walk on your keyboard pick her up and put her in the next room. Let her back in after five minutes. She will learn that walking on the keyboard results in something not fun and stop.

My big black cat used to go over to our neighbor’s house early every morning to have breakfast with our veterinarian neighbor. He always saved the last spoonful of milk in his cereal bowl for Fritz. This had been going on for a couple of years before I found out where he was going off to first thing every morning.

The crafty cat strikes again.

Jimbo you’ve had Peekaboo long enough to know you NEVER leave your food unattended. She’s drinking the milk from your cereal which is bad for kitties, and you won’t be able to eat the rest.

One of mine puts his claws out ready to fight for a piece of warm bran muffin or anything with marinara sauce. The other just wants to taste everything.

Not just cat-lovers. Cruelty – even imagined – to any animal merits disapproval.
