happily i was cooking my dinner tonight as i had a rare night and day off work.
i bought a expensive piece of steak, fresh veg and i even did the potatoes.
the cat was out which was good as he is a pain when im cooking.in and out of your legs,meowing trying to trip you up etc.
so i check the steak and like magic the cat has appeared at the door.
pressing against it with his paws shouting to come in, obviously he has smelt it miles away and returned.
in he comes and after shouting the odds sits and smiles at me hoping to get a bit of steak.
now. i have his dish which has cut pieces of raw steak for him so he has no need for more.
but we are talking about a crafty thief, silent and one who leaves no evidence!.
steak comes out and the cat is dancing, leaping around shouting and getting in the way.
i shout and cat backs off a little.
put all the veg on my plate and then the steak and go to pick up the plate.
my mobile rings and the cat's facial expression changes.
i put my dinner on the table and put the veg over the steak save guarding it.
cat has his plate of raw steak and is loving it.
i watch him eating and as im talking on the phone return to the kitchen to put the kettel on.
i turn look and its to late.
the cat has got on the chair, moved the veg out of the way and is jumping down with the whole steak and is off like a bullet.
i put the phone down and take off after him,running up the stairs the cat leans one way then the next, im off balance and he is past.
gone back under the table and growling.
so i had veg tonight and the cat.
he had steak!

One of my cats grabbed an unfinished pizza crust and ran away with it earlier this year and they both pester for food when I'm eating sometimes.
They used to have manners and wouldn't even consider such things, but since they'd been badly abused and the manners were grounded in fear, I'm happy they're not worried now. (They used to follow me around but would wait outside rooms and wait to be invited in when I first got them. They were terrified of doing anything wrong. Now they think they own the place.)
I think they both know there would be trouble if they helped themselves to food off my plate before I'd finished though.
They're spoiled but there are limits.

 I used to have a well mannered cat too, he would sit really patiently beside the table watching the food go from the plate to my mouth but then he knew he always got left a little bit 
miss him, he was ever so sweet |

Mine get really cross when I eat tuna. They're quite certain it's cat food and tell me, in no uncertain terms, that with all the yummy smelling things I have available to eat, I have no business eating their food.
There is no difference between Felix As Good As It Looks in tuna flavour and a tin of tuna in spring water, according to them.
I only have to put a slight tear in the top of a sachet of Felix or puncture the top of a can of tuna with the can opener, and wherever they were in the house, whether or not they were asleep, they're there in an instant. |

I banish mine to the garden when I cook and eat my steak now, after she tried to steal it while I was eating it once.
I usually get a bigger piece of steak so that I can share it with the pets, and discovered the "rib steak" cut offered by my local supermarket is excellent for taste as well as value for money.
It is less well-trimmed than a normal rib eye steak, hence it is cheaper.
However, I like to trim the grizzle, cut it up before frying in the pan until crispy, very tasty with a dusting of salt and pepper. It's all mine and the pets never get any.
