Cat and kids issue

[toon_town_nutter]

Our cat has taken to not respecting food boundaries at all. If we're eating the cat is involved. Food gets swiped off our plates, food batted out of our hands, cups licked.

I've taken to sending the kids outside to eat it's got that bad. What can I do to stop it?

[shhh_its_me]

Sell the kids. Keep the cat. Or smack them. Or put them under a cold shower. Or buy them a little red car and some shoes.

I think you've covered all the bases there.

Put the cat in another room while you eat.

I have a cat who likes to climb all over me when I'm eating, I just put him in another room

Put the kids food in a cat bowl on the floor guaranteed the cat won't touch it...

Put the cat in another room while you eat.

Your cat has a halo, I'm sure you understand why I can't put the cat in another room. Nobody puts kitteh in a corner.

Here is a few pictures of how sucessful I was in training our cats to stay off the table and not pinch food.

Thing is, cat was born in 96 and first child arrived in 97 therefore cat outranks children. Always.
