Thread: Why are MCs so greedy??

They even bin raid if given the chance...... They are crazy every morning for breakfast and I get 'climbed' by Dudley while Sylvester nips me on the calves until I dish up!!
I've never had indoor cats before and I wondered if the food thing was a boredom thing...or just an MC thing. There do seem to be a few posts on here to suggest MCs are greedy but then again a lot of them are indoors...

Oh my goodness Catlover, you are describing the scenes that go on in my house daily. Taking a running jump onto my plate - check. Bin raid - check. Getting climbed up - check. This is how they earned their early nickname 'The Criminals'.

To be completely fair, the jumping onto dinner plates and climbing up of legs went on until about 7 months. Now they are bigger, they can actually reach the kitchen counters quite easily with their front paws, and jump directly up there anyway. But the bin bomb/bread bomb/food bomb still goes on if we forget to put everything away properly!

I don't know if it's an MC thing or not. I just think they are young, healthy, happy, hungry, cheeky, growing kittens doing their thing. Enjoy!
