My little angel jazzy as in pic!
One night we were sitting watching a movie whilst nibbling on crispy duck that was on the coffee table, next minute a flash of lightning and the bloody cat makes off with the duck :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Sam B0 -
My cat Harriet loves dry muesli, she's nearly climbing into the bowl when I eat it in front of her! She loves all kinds of starchy carbs really.
Not to mention the chicken carcass lifted from the bin overnight, and the legs of chicken taken from a wok-full of Thai curry!Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.0 -
Many years ago our cat Ginger popped into next doorneighbours
kitchen and got away with the chicken portion the old gentleman had left to cool on the side:eek:
Believe me when i say its hard to know what to do in that situation even if i had chased after him i could hardly have given it back.
The chicken portion was for his daughter who called in to visit each lunchtime ,so sadly there was no time to cook another even if i had had one !
Just went to the butchers and bought another for him to use the following day but how embarrassed was i;)0 -
When I give my dog treats I fear for my fingers because he snatches.
I was in the kitchen the other day, absent mindedly eating some crisps, a crisp was in my hand down by my side. Said snatchey dog takes crisp oh so gently and delicately from my hand and snarfs it down before I get the chance to even react!
My mum's German Shepherd managed to get a massive frozen turkey from a locked freezer and did a pretty good job of eating it before anyone noticed!0 -
Came home yesterday to cat food bin (special storage bin) in the living room (normally in the hallway), opened, on its side with half of it gone (Zara)
Locked it in the "spare room".
Came home today to Zara's bowl full as I left it but cat dishes on the floor and empty - one was on the kitchen windo behind the sink (to stop Zara getting to it), another one on the bathroom window. Both down and empty....
Waiting for Zara to start miauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuing sigh0 -
One of my old fosters could open the fridge. In the space of a few weeks she had stolen a joint of beef, a tub of clover two blocks of cheese and the best, a whole box of eggs taken from the top shelf and dragged into her bed in the other room without a single one breaking.
We had to swap the fridge and freezer around so she couldn't get at it anymore.
Our GS regularly patrols the living/dining room and will attempt the walkby snatch of anything left out. We finally had to invest in a bread bin because we were losing at least a loaf a week, we've had to move the kitchen bin to the utility room and put it on top of the washing machine because it was being ransacked every day.0 -
These all sound like heaven. You will come home, let dog in room, see cat poop in litter tray, get distracted taking coat off, turn back round and cat poop is magically gone and his mouth is covered in cat lit!! Ughhhhhhh. We don't have to watch him around food, but when there is cat poop about....
Our current dog loves the stuff - two cats, two litter trays - you have to be diligent and quick - when we moved to clumping litter we missed the telltale light granules of the catsan that would adorn the dogs nose and act as a warning.0 -

Hahaha yes, as soon as you hear the scrabbling in the litter tray, it's battlestations! Thankfully we still have catsan, and you can normally follow the trail. Unthankfully though, what I assume is a neighbour's cat has been doing his business behind our shed (which we discovered recently - on grass, not buried!) My husband let dog out to do his business, doorball rang, dealt with it, went back, dog has disappeared, secure garden, hmm... went behind the shed to see dog stuffing his face with what can only be months of poop :eek::eek::eek:0 -
#2 son was preparing some instant noodles - put them in a small bowl while boiling the kettle, turned away for a second - Ninja Doodle was in, under the radar, nicked the slab of noodles, leaving bowl still on the side. boy did that confuse the kid <G>Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0

Tyson has really outdone himself this evening!
A scone with butter and jam sat on the coffee table in front of me.
He wanders over for a casual sniff so I tell him 'leave it'.
He then sits in front of the scone, not taking his eyes off mine.
He inches forwards ever so slowly so his nose gets closer to the scone, eyes still locked with mine, so again I tell him 'leave it'.
Still keeping eye contact with me he tries inching forward again, freezes when I say 'leave it', and then carries on inching.
After a few minutes of 'sneaky sneaky catch a sconey' he got bored and went for a full on ninja swipe. Luckily I was primed and ready and snatched the plate from under his nose. He gave a right grumble and has gone off to sulk in his bed!
Not sure I want to eat the scone now as it has been panted on for quite a while, but it was worth it to see how much self-control my pooch hasn't got!0
