Sushi the Demon Cat from the Seventh Circle of Hell eats everything that isn't nailed down.....boiled cabbage, date squares, pesto, you name it. Last night he ate the strings that are tied around a store-bought BBQ chicken. I don't think it's cute at all. He is protesting the name you gave him, no doubt.

His name was Michael Jackson when I got him.

How the heck is dear Sushi, Welts? I do so miss the Sushi stories. We've gotta be on Book 5 by now and the Chooch is asking about him.

Well...infamous. All the patient's family members are always asking about him. He cracks everybody up. He talks like an old Italian man now, always gesticulating with his arms to make a point.

LOL! Chooch does the same thing. I've accused her of being an Italian in Siamese clothing many times.

At Christmas, family members would thrust gaily-wrapped and beribboned gifts at me. "Awww, you didn't have to...." "I didn't. They're for Sushi."
He made out like a bandit. Friskies cat crack, a blankie, treats and toys.

He made out like a bandit. Friskies cat crack, a blankie, treats and toys. The darned cats get it all! Ours are gifted regularly. Mother and I are expected to cheer with joy at their happiness. That's our gift! Chooch came waltzing into the computer room with a partially thawed steak last night. She was straddling it and having one heck of a time walking without ending up on her silly nose. Fortunately, she hadn't torn the wrapper off it, but there were a couple of tooth holes in it. She didn't want it. She was bringing it to me. Dumb cat! Took mother to the doctor on yesterday. We were gone about 2 hours. When we got home, it turned out SIL hadn't closed the front door to the house. It was wide open (probably either didn't latch it well, or just forgot it after getting mother and her wheelchair out the door as I was pulling the car out of the garage). SIL freaked! Not worried about theft (not in this neighborhood), but he was worried the cats had gotten out. I kept telling him they wouldn't soil their feet on that dirty old ground. Of course, Arnie (the black and white) hid in the armoire where he can only be seen if you open the large front doors. The two females were right there to greet us with much howling about the door debacle. SIL nearly had a heart attack trying to find Arnie, even though I told him Arnie wouldn't go outside. I let him search for a bit, then opened the armoire doors to show him the little monster was still there.

He looks like he eats well.

And I never would have seen that steak again. He would have eaten it frozen, paper and all. Sometimes I bring home leftovers from work if they haven't been touched. The other day, Sushi ate a human-sized portion of minced beef, and a human-sized portion of tuna salad. Then he had the nerve to follow me around, complaining bitterly and gesturing wildly, that he didn't get his usual canned meal. If he doesn't get his canned meal, everything else is a mere snack.

The Chooch is a skinny little wedge Siamese. She's not a big eater. She had no interest in that steak as food. It was something with which she could command attention by absconding with it. Silly thing, however, brought it directly to me. She ain't the brightest bulb on the tree. Now, if Arnie had found it, that would have been a whole 'nother tale!

Weltz, your Sushi sounds like my Jake.
If I roast a chicken, or rib-roast, etc - when I take it out of the oven, and then put it on a platter once it's done so I can make gravy from the drippings, I literally have to hide the platter in the microwave - or back in the oven.
One time when I roasted a chicken, I placed it on the platter after roasting, then started the roux for getting the graving going, and was pulling potatoes/veggies out of the fridge to peel, and organizing pots/ etc.
Jake was sitting patiently on the floor - but also half-tripping me trying to get a closer whiff of the heavenly aroma.
After about 15 min, the timer went off on the clothes dryer so I left the kitchen to go empty it out and put the next wet load in.
By the time that was done and I was back in the kitchen, Jake had gotten onto the counter and dragged that bird right off the plate and onto the counter, and was blissfully gnawing on a big chunk of it.
I have to close him up in the bedroom or den any time I want to eat - he's like a starving, ravenous fiend when it comes to stealing "people food".

Little Awful Arnie is the people food addict in our group. If he can get at it, it's gone! Anything thawing is normally left in the microwave. What made me leave this particular steak in the sink I have no clue. Probably another senior moment. Arnie hadn't discovered it before the Chooch got it, fortunately. I think he was still traumatized by the door having been open for so long.

I learned a long time ago to secure everything in the microwave if I'm leaving the kitchen for even a minute. He's a very good boy.....never jumps on the counters or table.

Listening to all this really makes me appreciate my two girls. I NEVER have to worry about them jumping up on any kitchen counters (even to go after food). They even know the kitchen table is off limits (unless of course it's sunny and there is no-one home )

Oh, my, weltschmerz! He is a good boy! None of mine give a whit whether there are witnesses, or not. They know they can outrun said witnesses.

My seven month old male kitten loves to steal the feather duster out of the cleaning tote. He LOVES that thing . . . as in, loves in an unhealthy way. He will pull it out and run away, then flop on top of it and snuggle in a bizarre manner (ehem). (Yes, he's fixed.) He's even had the nerve to growl at me when I tried to take it away from him. In my last set of hand-raised babies I had one of those. From about 4 weeks on, he'd grab a feather toy and heaven help you if you wanted to take it away. He would growl and growl and would dangle in the air if you picked it up. Couldn't get him to let it go. So we called him Chompers. And, the poor kid is stuck with that name because his mommy likes it and kept it when she took him home.

Arrrrggggghhhh! The Chooch dismembered mother's Kleenex box! She dragged all the Kleenex out of the box, spread it all over mother's bed, the floor and the bathroom, then went back and tore the box apart! She's sleeping now. Destruction derbies are, apparently, exhausting.

I have three cats, two of whom are biological sisters aged 9. I got them when I was 14, I am 23 now. Cleo - She is my shadow, follows me everywhere and apparantly pines/looks for me when I am not there. She doesn't spend a single night where she is not sleeping on me while I'm in bed. She is like an extra duvet for me, keeps me warm. Often found: Lurking around me. Muffy - The biological sister to Cleo. Muffy was originally my brothers cat, he actually got her as a gift to his girlfriend but they of course split up and he moved out not long after that. She likes to keep herself to herself but she has some weird sleeping locations. She'll stay in a location for a few weeks, get bored and then move onto somwhere else for another few weeks. Her favourites are: a radiator, on top of the fridge, on the bike seat that's parked in the hall. Often found: Sleeping in some random place. Flash - Our newest edition to the family, aged 3. She has the longest tounge I have ever seen on a cat, and 9/10 it's obviously poking out. She looks so cute. She has so much energy and jumps in the air really high for no apparant reason when she is running around. I have even seen her summersault! Often found: Going nuts around the house.

Destruction derbies are, apparently, exhausting. My previous cat (Max) used to unroll a complete roll of toilet paper, shredding along the way. We also used to have a paper towel holder mounted under one of the kitchen cabinets - he could unroll/destroy a roll of those too - nothing like coming home from work to find either the bathroom floor or kitchen counters covered in shredded paper - like it was confetti. .
