1. What were they making? Homemade cat food?

Anyway, lots of cats there, at least 5, maybe 6.

3. When I cook bacon, the dogs and cats wait by my feet

They will get squirted with water if they get on the kitchen counter!

I do reward them with bacon.

4. Whew. n/t

5. One of our 3 is absolutely mad for...

...spinach and arugula. The moment he hears the crackly sounds of the bags they come in, he is right there pleading for his favorite veggie treat.

6. Oh no. That would drive me nuts. It's

why I put Ember, the food hog cat, into another room when I'm prepping or cooking food. As I noted in another thread, she just will not stay off the counter when I have food out. I love cats, but can't stand them getting into food.

7. I love my four cats dearly

but no way would I let them get that close to the cooking area. Think about those little paws--may have just come out of the litterbox. Totally not sanitary.

Those cats were adorable, though. I see a cat and I just want to hug on it.

8. I've never seen a post from you

without the elongated cat motif.

Mere coincidence?

10. I also assume that my cat has been on the

counter when I was asleep or away from home. So before I put any food on the counter, e.g. dough to roll for pie or to knead for bread, I wipe the counter down thoroughly. I would do that even if I did not have a cat, but it's especially necessary since I do have one.

11. My cats are pretty good about staying off the counters, except for Milo the food hog.

But he's 16 and can no longer jump directly onto the counter unless the step stool is out. But it doesn't really matter because there is so much ambient cat hair floating around. I have come to regard cat hair as a condiment.

13. LOL. Cat hair as a condiment. But it is

where the paws have been that bothers me. Not to mention attempts to nibble at the food or lick it. Mine just won't stay off so I put her in another room with her toys until I finish. But I found some advice online that I want to try - putting double sided tape on the part of the counter where she tries to go. It means losing some counter space.for myself but might be worth it.

9. LOL!

Cats are good kitchen supervisors.
