Heya!
We have three cats, two of our own and one we're currently fostering.
We feed them one Sheba "perfect potions" with a small handful of dry food mixed in twice a day. We used to feed them three times a day, but they got a little chubby so at our vet's advice, we cut back.
We obviously also give them treats, usually dental treats, temptations and Sheba meat sticks.
Recently, one of our cats, Pebbles, just started going for every little scrap of food she can find. She got into my husband's rice when he set it aside for a minute, she licks empty bowls in the sink, gets into any bag of snacks and I've even seen her trying to eat a cupcake wrapper.
Obviously we don't let food just stand around, but sometimes you're just sitting on the sofa with a bag of chips or things like that, and she'll try to go for it. I don't think she's hungry because she does it right after we feed them, too. And neither of the others do it.
I've tried snapping my fingers or clapping when I see her do it, which is what I usually do when they do something they're not supposed to, but it doesn't stop her at all, she doesn't even hesitate or look at me.
What do we do?
