This has been going on for an hour and a half:
He’s hungry because he’s off his feeding schedule, having woken me up at 4:30 for breakfast (the dogs then woke me up at 5:30 because the smoke detector battery started chirping), which meant he demanded dinner at 5 pm.
Belligerent fucker.

Give that poor kitty a snack!
LAO
Is it really about need, John?
Patricia Kayden
Awwww!! Steve needs a hug. One of my Boxers would eat all the time if I let him as well.

I’ve heard the same speech from Mrs. Khead… and then she breaks out the treat jar.

I predict a restless night ahead for the both of you.
Feebog
Haha. When he tears off your ear and eats it as a midnight snack you will discover the true meaning of tough love.

Why do you hate Steve?

I think it’s time foe some vanilla ice cream.

@khead: You sit on the floor or the counter and make annoyed cat noises at your wife until she gives you treats?//

I’m going to be laughing at that exchange all evening.

After your clip plays it tees up a great What’s My Line episode.

You’re being a poor staffer to your cat and he’s just meowing you out for it. ^.^

@Yutsano: Yep.

This is what happens when the other members of the household see Lily getting fed every three minutes.

Speaking of wild animals, someone please tell me how this happens:
Palin and Brazile to bring political discussion to Cullen Performance Hall
“On May 3, Cullen Performance Hall will host Bridging the Political Divide, a discussion of America’s increasing political polarization between former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and the previous chair of the Democratic National Committee Donna Brazile.”

@CaseyL: Brought it on himself, didn’t he?
NotMax
Just say not now. What’s he gonna do, pack up and leave?
Omnes Omnibus
@NotMax: I assume that Cole sleeps. Steve could easily eat him. So many people trust their cats….

Tough love? Cats don’t give two shits about tough love.

Poor Steve. So hard done by. He’s probably jealous because Lily girl gets food all the time.
@Corner Stone: I’m not sure that’s event is happening. I clicked through to the Brilliant Lecture Series website that is supposedly sponsoring it and the event isn’t listed. I clicked on the “buy tickets” link in the article and the event doesn’t exist. I event looked at the calendar for the Cullen Performance Hall where the event is supposed to be held and there’s nothing on that date.

You really need to be a reality show.
Casa Cole is hilarious??

Maybe he just wants you to switch some lights on.

Cats never complain; they merely explain.
Do what you’re; then there is no need to scold.

You do realize that you’re bigger than they are, right?

My Maine Coon mix Buckey has been gone for two years now, but this clip reminds me of how he greeted me every morning. I am an early riser, but the last few years of his life, he made it to 18, he was there in the kitchen to greet me ever morning. He shared everything in the food department with me if it involved being a carnivore. I am from the south, I bake hams, ham is one of my favorite foods, and Buckey always demanded his share. John Cole is a lucky man to have such a cat as Steve. As much as I love our current three cats, there will never be a cat like Buckaroo Banzai. I miss him still.

He sees you feeding Lily if she so much as glances toward food, and is protesting the disparity in treatment. He recognizes injustice when he sees it. All pets are created equal, and your job is to indulge them equally and as much as humanly possible. Then, when he gets fat, it is your obligation to accept limitless abuse from the BJ community about how you let him get that way, and limitless unwanted advice about how to fix it.
