CuteOverload: 3-cat standoff

Mir and Caliban looked a litle worried at the sounds coming here, but I
thought this was hilarious. Look at the little opportunist in the middle!

Yes, that little kitty in the middle was definitely the smartest of the
three.

I was thinking: why didn't they cut the piece of meat in 3 pieces?

Then I realized that one of the kitties *stole* the steak, off a
counter, perhaps, and then the other 2 found out about it.

And THEN the 3 way Mexican standoff occurred.

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

Jeez, get a knife out and cut it into 3 pieces! Not trying to be a
spoilsport, and they *did* look cute, but after a minute or so I
started feeling bad for them.

Knowing me I would probably grab the camera, too, and not even think
about cutting the meat up. :P

A spray bottle or squirt gun works good. Also works well for discouraging
scratching of the furniture. Or you could use one of those grabbers that
seniors use to grab stuff off the floor or a high shelf to snatch the meat
away.

I might have, too, at first. They certainly had serious expressions,
with serious ears, and I probably would've wanted at least a still photo
of that, if not a video (although the sound effects were intense, too).

Several people on the site pointed out in comments that this behavior
is pretty typical of felines in the wild at a kill site, so I'm sure
nobody died over this incident. I just felt kind of bad because the cats
at the ends weren't getting any of the meat.
