For years our cats have just sat next to us and 'begged'. However, recently they have become EXTREMELY brave. They will just walk right up to your plate and steal food quickly. No matter how many times I push them away they try to do it again! lol. I have three cats and two of them started to doing this recently! I also can't keep them out of the sink. I have not changed their food or the amount they eat! Also, we used to rarely give them human food. Once they started acting like this we quit all together! What tips do you have?It's driving us crazy! lol
