ORIGINAL: soul2share Mystic, they are faaaaast little buggers, aren't they? Mine will come from everywhere to check out the grocery bags, and if they find anything they want, it's grabbed and ZOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!! off they go to their hidey hole with it. Squeaks will take the cat treats, KB scarfs the catnip. Smooch will sit on the packages of lunchmeat, proclaiming them as his. Boo is just nosy, so he's a good boy. Oh, yes, they are very fast. I suppose I'm lucky Misty didn't just grab the sandwich and hide it from me. She is very fast to get into the lunch meat, too. Recently I put the bags down when I came in the house only to go to the bathroom quickly, and in that short amount of time Misty had zeroed in on exactly which bag had the deli turkey, pulled the package of turkey out of the grocery bag, and was gnawing a hole in the corner. Several years ago, I was making baked fish for dinner and had placed four 4-ounce fillets on a baking sheet. The phone rang and I answered it and forgot all about the fish. When I walked back into the kitchen, the baking sheet was completely empty. I was sure I had put the fish on the baking sheet, and the wrapper was in the trash. The 13 lb. male cat I had at the time, Pinkerton, had polished off all 4 fish fillets in a half hour while I was talking on the phone! One day, I went shopping, came home & put the bags down on the floor for a bit while I sat. I was sure I hadn't bought anything they would want & they're pretty slow movers anyway. I'm talking on the phone & I was hearing grocery bags rustling. I looked around & Booga was rubbing on one of the bags. I hollered at him & went back to my conversation. Pretty soon he went back to the bag & was rolling on it again. Same bag. So I got off the phone & went to look in the bag to see what was so attractive to him & I found the fresh cilantro. Who knew that cats would like cilantro! I knew about kiwi plants, but not cilantro. LOL
