Now, as it is, mom compares dad's and Cleo's nutritional "needs", and that's a term that mom uses quite loosely. You see, both Cleo and dad have similar eating issues. It's like that's what they live for.
Anyway, Cleo thinks she's pretty sly. This happens often while mom and dad are sitting in the living room eating dinner. It always appears Cleo is feeling affectionate and wants to be near mom and dad, but they know that it's not out of wanting to be near them. It's their food she's trying to get closer to.

| One Last Piece. Mmmmmm... |
Mom was nibbling her toast and had the plate sitting on top of a book on the bed. Cleo, of course, jumped up and stealthily (she always think mom and dad don't notice) shuffled closer and closer to the toast.
As much as they'd like to share they know they need to be mindful of Cleo's intake. Mom ate all but the last little piece of toast, and Cleo curled right up next to the plate to keep her eye on it. You know, just in case mom didn't feel like finishing it.

Oh, Cleo! You just keep trying to be stealthy because you never know when the hoomins lose their focus...and you can SCORE!
How else can a kidlet get treats? You go, girl!
P.S. We are not even remotely subtle about trying to get our mom's food. Why, she can even be *holding* her plate and we'll try to get something off it!
I'm sorry your mom wasn't feeling well. I hope she has recovered 100% now. Well, maybe she got so much better after seeing your cute stealthy move :-) Love that photo. You are so adorable, Cleo!
Cleo is much more polite than we are - any of us would have gone right up and taken that bit of toast! At least if it were my human's boyfriend's food. With my human, I might wait, but not so sure about Binga and Boodie!
That is funny. I hope your mom is feeling better.
We hope you got to enjoy that last little piece, Cleo. :)
Good thinking Cleo, there is always that chance you might get a little taste. We all do the same thing, always hopeful. Have a great day.
That's too cute! Mudpie has less interest in human food than any cat I've ever seen. Hope you got to enjoy at least a taste!
My sister Sammi would steal the food off the plate or even a fork if you let her. You were very polite to wait for the last bite of toast. I hope you enjoyed it.
Cleo, you are very polite. Some kitties here have, in the past, used the paw swipe with extended claw which catches the goodies from the plate. Now most of us wait for the last morsels and the Joy of Licking the Plate.
Ha!!! I do the same thing with my Mom when she is eating popcorn! Mom also says Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!! catchatwithcarenandcody
