It doesn't matter how quietly I open the refrigerator door or where I try to hide: If there is a bowl of cereal in my hand, I've got one or two kitties in competition for a tiny taste of the milk in the bottom of the bowl!
On this particular day, I stealthily took my cereal up to my craft room in hopes of avoiding what you're about to see. But NO! Lily rousted herself from a deep sleep in the back of the closet and tracked me down! Take a look at her technique, perfected over hundreds of breakfasts...
First, The Staredown:
Next, The Reach:
Then, The Hook -- she actually hooks her paw around the edge of the bowl and pulls it toward her!
Sit down, Lily, while Mommy finishes her cereal! Lily complies, but only for a few seconds. During this brief pause I hastily gobble up the remaining bits of cereal because I KNOW what's coming!
As if on cue, the second attack begins:
Her final tactic, The Stand:
Okay, Lily, I give up! Really, who could possibly say no to that soft tummy? And those precious white feet?
SCORE!

Love her technique!
My Sam used to do the same thing. Her brother, Beldar, just stares until I'm finished. Don't tell my hubby that I let him have the bowl though...I get in trouble! ;)
