We try not to eat too much chicken in our house because when we do we attract vultures, otherwise know as cats, who want to take our food off our plates. Yesterday we ordered pizza and chicken wings for lunch. We ate the pizza for lunch and saved the wings for dinner. This is what happened at dinnertime.
The technical quality is not great because it was taken in very low light without a flash, but I think my wife’s timing was perfect. It really captures the story well. I guess a picture really is worth a thousand words.
Bad Cat Chris 
Are you sure those are cats and not chicken-hawks??? HAHA I have to say this kind of thing makes me even MORE happy than I already have been these past couple of years that Ted has no interest whatsoever in people food. None. Zip……..thank heavens! 🙂
Hugs, Pam
You are so lucky. 🙂
Yeah, well I have to say- that’s me with anything on a plate with mom and dad. I get yelled at more at their mealtime than any other.
We get interest from the cats, especial;ly Frankie, with just about every meal, even vegetarian, but once I let them smell it they usually go away.
My human only eats chicken and fish, so she is kind of stuck with me!
🙂
That is a GREAT picture ! It tells the whole story !
Thanks. I thought so too.
And just like that the cute fluffy balls remember that they are predators!
Hahaha. You got that right.
OMC! That is so funny! Y’know…we don’t like people food so our peeps are free to eat whatever they want.
Your peeps are lucky. 🙂
I have many similar photos of my hubby trying to have dinner. 🙂
I would love to see some of those. 🙂
Good grief. That’s bullying and intimidation.
We are very lucky as we can eat anything and leave food lying around without having to worry. In fact, we leave Louis Catorze in charge of our cheese board as he will alert us to any bugs by doing his bird chatter sound, and he will catch said bugs before they land on our cheese. 🧀 🐜
Yes, you are very lucky. Floki is our resident bug catcher. It was Chris but he has become lazy as he got older.
So many eyes watching….. Yikes!
Imagine what it was like when we had four cats.
oh mi cod, vultures!!!!!
🙂
Yes, the old “I want your food” routine is familiar to all cat servants! I have to let them smell whatever I’m eating or they paw toward the plate to help themselves. Of course, nothing they
think they want they would eat if i put some down on a plate or floor for them, but the ritual is the same every time I’m near or with food! That’s great picture of you with the three “vultures” closing in!
Most Foods they don’t want once I let them smell it but chicken is the exception.
Chicken’s a favorite here, too, though they won’t eat it unless it is regular wet kitty food. I’ve offered them some of mine and they sniff but don’t take it. They do love, love, love the water off of tuna, but won’t eat the tuna itself. Strange kitties!
Some can be very picky.
We had a cat who took a chicken breast off my plate one night
Now that’s a bold move. Our cats are very dainty eater considering they are carnivores.
