Our Bengal girl Kia has decided that she likes butter .. of all things .. unsalted butter.
My wife has been doing Christmas backing over the last week or so. Sunday, she walks up to me with a 1/2lb of butter that has claw marks and signs of licking. "Look what your cat did" .. Umm .. dear - she's a Bengal. Not a big surprise right? If it is on the counter and in any way resembles food, its fair game. Kia's rule number 1.
Last night, Kia grabs a whole 1lb block of butter off the counter and merrily has at it. I should note here that there was an attempt to hide it, but that failed miserably. "Your cat got the whole pound this time"
This morning comes along - sitting having coffee and checking the weather forecast. Pitter-patter - jump - paws on counter - bump bump bump - cupboard door is being opened. Damn - its the one where the butter is. (note that the butter was put up on top of the plates in the cupboard this time) KIA - Off the cupboard! 4 paws gracefully land on the kitchen floor. Pitter patter, away she goes. Get up and check - sheepish Bengal looking around the table - wasn't me mom honest. Sit back down drink some coffee.
Wait for a min. Repeat the above steps again. - 3 times before Terri gets up and puts the magical Bengal Magnet Butter in the fridge - dejected Bengal sits looking from across the dining room with a hint of - I know you're gonna take it out of there sometime and its gonna be mine.
I guess the cookies will take a little longer to bake today.
