- CL┤My kitten, Zach, begs horribly for food everytime I try to sit down and eat!
- CL┤He'll meow constantly and try to jump up on the table, which he knows he's not
- CL┤allowed to do. I've sprayed him with water, but it doesn't much bother him,
- CL┤and I've picked him up and set him down, but he's right back up in a flash.
-
- CL┤It's partly my fault, cause sometimes I give them a piece of what I'm eating,
- CL┤or let them lick the sauce that's left, but just as a treat on occasion.
-
- CL┤I can't eat in peace anymore...I have to gulp down my food! Help!

- Hi Marty. I doubt that I could help you, seeing as I suffer the
- same fate myself.
-
- My wife gets mad at me all the time, because when I "discipline"
- my cats for jumping up on the table, it involves coming over the
- cat, picking her up, and saying something inane like "bad kitty.
- Don't do that again, or I'll have to pick you up and cuddle you
- for a while, like I'm doing now." <G>
-
- I'm supposed to spray them with water, but I guess I'm just too
- much of a softy. This weekend, I was having supper in the
- living room, when Muffin crawled up on my lap and tried to get
- at my food. I was busy munching away, and began holding my
- plate higher and higher, only to have her get up on her hind
- legs and reach higher and higher. The problem was: it was
- impossible to swallow the food in my mouth, because I was
- laughing too hard and would have choked.
-
- They just might be the death of me yet.
