That's cute, and a testiment to your cooking!
I had this cat (well two Murphy and Jose pronounced hose-eh, but don't now how to put an accent over the E
)...
Murphy was a sneek, sitting on the sofa having dinner, he would get up behind me and spear pea's with his claws, one at a time and curl his paw to bring it up to eat...
He also loved raw potato peels and would try and steal them...I never let him eat though...
he did once break into the garbage and steal and eat a prime rib string...didn't know until several inches were hanging out his butt as he came tearing through the L/R dry poop banging off the furniture...eyes bugged out - poor guy...I cut it at his bum and he pooped out the rest later
