... well margarine to be exact. My cat loves butter. If I leave the tub on the counter with the lid off, inevitably she will soon be on the counter, where she knows she doesn't belong, and licking the butter. Last night, I forgot to put it away. I walked by the kitchen, the light was off, didn't notice her up there. I walk back by, hear the little "thump" sound of her jumping down. Go "Hey, I heard that!", throw on the light and there she is sitting there so innocently licking her lips. "What? I wasn't on the counter? I'm right here!" lick, lick. Again tonight, I made a piece of toast, sat down at the computer to eat it, and not two minutes later, there she is on the counter!

Has anyone else ever noticed this with their cat? Or is it just me, since I'm a slob and always forget to put the lid back on?

Someone else mentioned to me that she often found lick marks on sticks of butter left out. Just get in the habit of putting the lid back on, I guess. And be thankful you don't have a Labrador. They will jump on the table and eat the entire stick of butter in three bites.

I left the plate 'o butter out once and I could see the lick marks on it the next day.

The cat sometimes jumps on the counter, but he knows he's not supposed to because I'll yell at him if he does: "Hey!"

Fortunately the cat doesn't like much else on the counter... good thing cats are picky.

Cats are sneaks! Cats are killers! Cats are (for lack of a better term) devils!

Our cats know not to sit on my desk, not to sit on my car, not to sit on my motorcycle, not go in my bedroom, not to sleep on the printer and not to get on the kitchen counter. But if I'm not there to throw something at them, kick them or otherwise express my displeasure... Nooooo, those hairy little bastards do whatever they want!

You gotta respect that.

this is why i love cats. they know its wrong, but they know you'll still love them at the end of the day

i remember my cats had a fetish for king prawns and chlorine <not at the same time>. They would go ballistic if they could smell the chlorine in my hair and start rubbing and purring and just in a state of ecstasy. Really very strange, you couldnt get them off you.

yet another reason i want another cat! If all it takes to please them is some good food and a trip to the pool... who needs humans?

I like my kitty. Kitten Kaboodle. I've actually got her trained on one simple word, "No." For over six months after I found her, I've used this word and I think it works. She's been on the verge of doing bad, but then I say "No." sometimes repeatedly, and she'll stop.

I don't know why people don't like cats on the counter. I help my cat get up on the counter. I always cover my butter.

The one thing she loves that can be a pain is the caps to bottles of soda. I open up one and she knows thee is gonna be a cap, so she hunts for it. I sometimes I hide it so I can put it back on the bottle, but she'll find it. YIPES!

I was having lunch this week and I got up to answer the phone, when I got back to the kitchen my dog had his paws on the table and was eating my cole slaw right out of the container.

He he.

My cat to, loves butter. Whenever Im eating toast, I allways have to give her a little tiny bit or she never goes away! She just looks up at me with those big round eyes and gives a pitiful litte meow. Eh I guess im just a sucker for cats.

Growing up I had a cat. She never got into the butter but she was never given the opportunity. I'm sure she would have gone for it.

I remember an incident with my wife-to-be. She grew up in China when milk was something that came from a mother's breast, not the store. Thus she didn't know of cat's fondness for it. She set down her glass of milk with a bit left in the bottom. She came back to find my mother's cat reaching his long paw down into it then licking the paw. She was furious with the cat.

My cat loves Doritos, french fries, cheese, butter, basically anything I can eat. He's a fat fuck now, but he's also 14 years old.
