Lexi has a nose for food...I just didn't know how far her smelling capacities stretched.
So I put in the pizza I picked up from Papa Murphy's tonight. I had it all cut up, put two pieces on a plate, and placed it on my desk. Lexi was dead asleep to the world in my parents bedroom so I thought it would be ok for a few minutes.
After raiding our dvd collection in the living room, I found a movie I wanted to watch, and returned to my bedroom. Low and behold...who was on my computer chair right over my pizza! I mean...Good Lord...she was DEAD asleep! She looked sooooo guilty and jumped up to her spot on top part of my desk with her ears down, hunkering as close to the wall as she could get as I questioned her about licking my pizza?! I was sooo not laughing. She'll even beg if I have a cookie in my hand!
So I threw the pieces away because I didn't know if she had done anything. I now know that my plate will have to be a permanent attachment to me no matter where she is, dead to the world or not. As a sidenote, I did NOT encourage this behavior. She was a sweet little stray I found, but she just loves any and all food. I have to associate that with the fact that she probably ate anything she could find. Does anyone else have a cat that is like this??
