This policy is bulls**t! You food apes are morons!

Very disappointed feline. Harumph.

I’ve got a little man cat who always needs to get a sniff of anything you are eating. He doesn’t want to eat or nab any of it, but he has to get that little sniff and then he’s fine, not once has he ever tried to eat or steal people food. I think it’s adorable and I just assume he’s looking out for me and making sure it’s not poison.

Mine does the same. I greet her by gently blowing in her face so she knows what I might have had to eat while I was away.

You should pretend you're going to eat some food that is off and see if he acts differently. Report back!

He grabbed at my hand to stop me! He is looking out for me! What a neat little dude, I love him so much.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

A special little man! Nice to know you have someone looking out for you!

My cat waits for nothing when it comes to food. Every meal is an exercise in surprise strikes if he isn't locked out of the room. Chaos is his playground.

You monsters!!

I love the inclusion of "currently"- has the implication that this is temporary/new and she will not stand for it

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 7 points 1 year ago

She's protesting against government interference in the food market

Ah I miss the subreddit r/touchthafishy

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

tbf i have a policy of no touchy too but my cat has a policy of pls mum eyes which override it

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The ears pointed back in that one shot is such a pouty look for not getting her way.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had a cat (Sharptooth) that would look out the window over his shoulder and try to paw food off your plate. RIP Sharpie, he was the best kitty

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 2 points 1 year ago

my condolences

My cat is good about no touchy but sits and gives me the eyes until I give him a bit of it, usually some chicken.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, but what is going on with that sandwich?

IZ BIRD!

Touchy bird.

So close...almost touchy...

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean is tuna, touchy is only the preliminaries…

If tuna is chicken of the sea, then it follows that chicken is only tuna of the land. Touch tha fishy.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, I see, my bad. Anyway chicken is also a favorite for them so watch your sandwich :)
