    Our Cleo once grabbed a whole KFC drumstick, and managed to swallow it whole. That was one expensive evening at Kitty ER.

    She also frickin LOVES Parmesan cheese. I caught her getting into a large cabinet, and in the back she had a stash of those little packets, like you get at a pizzeria.

    Nine pounds apparently is around 4kg, that’s well within the normal weight range for a cat, why are you calling beans out for it?

      i think the point is that Beans has chosen to dedicate their entire weight to violence. they all know they outweigh Beans and shouldn’t be afraid, but Beans has made Beans into the world’s most dangerious teeny tiny little itty bitty kitty terrorist

        Beans don’t consider it violence. Beans found this massive feast, just sitting there, and it certainly didn’t look like the humans were in any rush to claim it. Beans is just protecting their treasure and can’t figure out what the humans’ problem is.

        I’m on team Beans. Humans can go get another chicken and learn how to properly guard your provisions this time.

      I think the point was that a 9lb cat doesn’t need 2-3lbs of food. Beans is choosing not to share.

    Every single day I see something from a pet owner that reaffirms how happy I am to not have pets.

      My cat I got when he was a few months old.

      Picked up from the street, would have died in the winter probably.

      However I raised him to deny any of my food. He has its own food.

      It was difficult the first 3 times. He begged for the food the whole time I ate. And even tried to get sth. But I was iron willed to keep my food.

      The 4th time he never begged or tried to get sth.

      And now I can even leave the food unattended for 2 minutes with him nearby and he won’t try to get sth.

      3 minutes is risky though.

        I’ve raised dozen of strays I picked-up from the streets over my lifetime. None but one was food motivated enough to steal our food, and the orange one that did isn’t so stubborn as to push his luck, a simple hush was enough to deter him.

        Though I’m South-East Asian, most of our food is plant-based and the occasional meat we have is drenched in seasoning I don’t think they recognize it as food lol.
