Thread: scrounging odd foods!!

Interesting, I thought it was a kitten thing, but maybe as you say it's a MC thing! Our 5-month-old kittens LOVE the chinese takeaway, and you should see them fighting over a prawn cracker, it's better than telly! When Larry was 13 weeks he did an amazing leap off the floor and landed directly on my plate of chow mein noodles - all 4 paws hit the target and he started munching. I couldn't believe my eyes - we have been so used to elderly moggies! We are now on to him and training is in place to curb this kind of behaviour. If they won't stay off the table at mealtimes they are shut in the other room, and this seems to be working.

Mine also love peas and bread, and popadoms. Mind you, they are so hungry at the moment they'll eat nearly anything. When I lift up the kitchen rug to clean the floor, I often find fragments of bread or rich tea biscuits which they've stolen at some point and squirrelled away, like a dog hiding his bone!!!
