Pete the hospital cat (Part 2)
Got a roast beef sandwich from the deli today. I was sitting in the
breakroom watching People's court eating it, with Pete at my elbow examining my every move. He tried to walk from the desk he was sitting on to the TV tray and paw at the sandwich. I shooed him off and he jumped to the ground. The sandwich wasn't very good, so I put the rest in the styrofoam container and closed it. I sat back and was watching TV and relaxing when Pete jumped into my lap asking for attention. So I scritched him and he started purring. My focus was on the TV, so I wasn't paying too close attention to Pete. Suddenly I hear this crunching sound. I look at Pete and the little varmint is chewing the corner of the styrofoam container in an attempt to open it. He got evicted from the lap. When my lunch break was over, he looked at me hoping that I would throw the sandwich away in the garbage can so he could retrieve it later. So I threw it away in the kitchen which he can't get to. Silly cat. Kristi |

We have a resident dog at the clinic where I work. She is as big a scrounge
as your Pete.. I once opened up a bottle of pet tabs, that the vets use to bribe the dogs into enjoying their stay, and she did an almost about face - a hard feat on the linoleum floors we have, and headed right for me, knowing full well Ive never given her anything.

Mean ole Kristi! Schtupid rules!! Kitties gotta eat tidbits from hoomin sammiches! LOL! Betty feels the same way. She usually doesn't get human food, but if I'm eating any kind of ham or turkey, she's allowed to "accidentally" swipe a little bit. |

I know I know! Poor Pete!!
And since it's the only breakroom, EVERYONE eats in there, so I bet at times it must be torture for Pete. But my supervisor Jen and the doctors wouldn't be happy if Pete gained weight from people food. Not to mention that too much people food is WAY unhealthy for cats. There was a cat in today that was a portly 19.4 pounds. Once in a previous job, I saw a cat that was 25+. The vet and I were muttering, "This is a case of diabetes just waiting to happen...." Today Pete tried to get at my Taco Bell. After shooing him away, i look up and my co-worker is licking his fingers after finishing his lunch from El Pollo Loco and Pete's face was literally INCHES from his hands. It was so funny!! But Pete didn't get anything, but I made it up to him by lying down for a rest. He hopped onto my stomach, kneaded my chest and settled down with a resounding purr. If I stopped, he would would gently paw my cheek so I would keep scritching him. I'll see him again on Monday. Kristi |
