Cat in the cradle and the silver spoon

Since it has been forever since I have posted anything, I just had an inspiration to share.

Our black cat has recently become accustomed to getting milk from a cereal bowl after one of us has finished eating breakfast. It has become a morning ritual that when someone has retrieved a bowl from the cabinet and places a spoon in the bowl our black cat, Sophie will come running into the kitchen and immediately takes her position at the kitchen table sitting in a vacant chair next to the person enjoying their morning meal. She patiently waits for morning treat and expects the bowl to be pushed in front of her so she can partake of the milk that is left over. Additionally, when we slide the bowl over to her, we must walk away and not look at her. She is a shy cat and will not partake if someone is watching.



We have found that she most prefers Fruit Loops leftover milk. The more healthy stuff she seems to turn her nose up at. She only takes a little drink, generally less than 30 seconds and then she is gone to sleep the day away.

So warning, if you ever at our house for breakfast, don't be afraid of a black cat staring at you. She is not looking at you for her next meal. She just wants your leftover cereal bowl.
