Mikey, EnigmaSissy, and the people in the house are in a continual battle over KidaMosquito's food. They want to steal it from her, and we don't want them too. Mikey likes to sit near her bowl when she's taking a break from eating (she's getting old, and sometimes she eats and then rests, then eats more). That way he can reach his paw out and swipe a bit.
Here he is in action one day, in the storage area where we feed her:
 |
| Oh, that sure looks good! |
 |
| Maybe she won't notice if I just snag a taste. |
 |
| Oh, that's paw-licking good! |
 |
| No more beating around the bush, gimme! NomNomNom! |
Sometimes if i'm not watching, he will reach that paw out and slide the bowl out from under KidaMosquito while she is eating! He's sneaky that way.
