Dinner Time at the Guerrero Animal House

For those of you who have had the pleasure of dining with us without the cats behind locked doors you are in for a real treat. These cat's attitude toward food is more like that of a dog. They are beggars and buzzards, swooping down into our meal looking for a scrap of any sort to satisfy the palet.

EXHIBIT A: See this photo? It looks like a cute picture of Simone shaking hands with Jimmy. WRONG! This is a nearly missed diversion as Simone's paw was going in for the SCOOP right into Jimmy's bowl of broccoli and potatoes! Who even knew cats liked broccoli and potatoes! Do you?

EXHIBIT B: This is a picture of my plate at dinner time with the hyenas waiting for the moment I let my guard drop and BAM they can sneak a piece of my broccoli or dip their paw into my cheese sauce. I know, RUDE CATS!

The funny thing is they were not always like this. When Felix first moved in with us he didn't even LIKE people food. He wouldnt touch it, he wanted only his designated cat food.

Then Simone came along and she had a little bit more of a rough upbrining on the streets where she really did have to scrap for a living. She was often hungry and we think it made her a little paranoid about food. So she brought that habit into the household and the habit became a hobby! Now Felix is like a feline garbage disposal - he trolls the sink and would eat everything in sight if we let him! Even little Lulu is starting to get into the game.

DON'T WORRY, if you come to visit we will put the Black Radishes behind closed doors so you can eat in peace. This is a picture of the cats getting a little dollup of cheese each - this is how they are supposed to eat, at a designated time and place, off their own plates! And whose that in the background?
