Which is always said sarcastically.
I have one cat in particular, really my daughter's cat, who loves to steal chicken. We can't leave the chicken anywhere to cool down before putting in the fridge, or to rest in the chicken off the table, or, as in today, to sit on the plata (warming plate) to heat up on Shabbat.
I had said chicken, and other foods, on the plata to warm up, and was online doing something when CRASH!!!!! in an attempt to reach the chicken she had knocked the beets all over the floor.
ARGGHHHHH
I love her but right about now....
I once knew a tiny kitten not yet weaned fully from his mum who stole a giant raw steak right out the frying pan on a lit gas stove, ate the entire thing himself, while keeping all the feral farm cats away from it.
On the other hand my giant dogs will stand at their bowls and cry and whinge if I dare to feed them steak that isn’t chopped up small enough and cooked through well enough for them 🙄. Despite the fact they are all sighthounds bred to be skilled hunters and bred to be savvy enough to hide when poaching, to avoid being shot when whichever king outlawed commoners owning sighthounds forever ago.
They also need their raincoats put on to go out to the garden to pee if it rains, have my kids trained to fetch their balls if one rolls of one of our beds (where they sleep-their memory foam doggo beds and many heat pads and fluffy duvets are not good enough, even when wearing their thermal pjs) and will whine until we bring them tubs of water to drink at night because they won’t get up when it’s cold or go downstairs in the dark…..
Next zombie apocalypse tv show needs to star cats and no dogs. Clearly your cats would survive and my pampered pooches would be lost!
