Seriously! I left the pastry for 30 secs!

What gorgeous little angels! They would get away with murder if they were ours.

Shouldofgotahamster85 · 24/12/2021 18:02

Gorgeous kittens, you are absolute BU you now have the best decorated pastry! Grin
But I feel your pain, dcat once ate most of a quiche I’d left cooling on the side…

Bonbon21 · 24/12/2021 18:07

Boak!🤢
I hope the pastry AND the butter is in the bin.

Notdoingthis · 24/12/2021 18:32

That's disgusting. Shut them out!

One of my cats managed to walk across a painting i had just bought i wasnt very pleased at the time but 15 years later the cat lived her life and passed away and i still have her two tiny little paw prints on the picture and good luck trying to keep oriental cats out of anywhere they want to go lol

A covered butter dish is key with cats.

Nsky · 24/12/2021 18:42

Mine has really ventured on a table, never a worktop

Offmyfence · 24/12/2021 18:49

YABU those two beauties should have the run of the house!

silentpool · 24/12/2021 18:59

I have a stool designated for cat supervision. He is a breed that isn't a great jumper anyway so no attempts have been made on the kitchen counters. But I would not allow him up there anyway and generally keep the door shut if I'm not in the kitchen.

Why does everyone think this is cute?

It's far more Envy not envy absolutely gross. Minging cat hair and car paws all over the food. Boke.

Because when you live with cats, cat hair is on and in everything. It’s fibre Grin

I am SO glad that I am very allergic to cats.

This is why we have gerbils. They could no sooner get into the kitchen than fly to the moon.

Beamur · 24/12/2021 19:19

Ha ha. Gorgeous kitties. We have Orientals too and they are beyond curious - whatever you do they want to come and look at. I am resigned to having to wipe down surfaces before using them as they have no concept of such arbitrary rules as which places are allowed and which are not.

Wow they're stunning!

I'd love to be able to ban our cats from... well most areas really at times 😆 just would never work! They do as they please.

Toddlerteaplease · 24/12/2021 19:26

There is absolutely no way that those (gorgeous) creatures are responsible for those paw prints. They are the picture
Of innocence.

GayParis · 24/12/2021 19:33

YABVVVU.

Did you even ask them for permission to use the kitchen?????

Onthegrid · 24/12/2021 20:13

Our cats don’t go in the worktops as a rule, oe so we thought until we set up a camera and found one likes to look out of the kitchen window as dawn breaks. I just clean the worktop every morning just in case now.

This cat also likes to sit on the dining table, I was serving the table ready for breakfast tomorrow, turned around and there she was. That door is firmly closed now.

DogsandCatsB4u · 24/12/2021 21:09

Lol that’s so cute but yes shut them out

Offmyfence · 24/12/2021 21:48

This is true, OP you need to look to yourself and your massively unreasonable behaviour, sorry if you don't like that.

@JayAlfredPrufrock

Are you always this stupid?
Are you always so breathtakingly rude?!
JayAlfredPrufrock · 24/12/2021 22:24

Kin ell. I’ve been deleted for some things in my time but this takes this biscuit. The cat biscuits.

And @LadyCampanulaTottington you’ve quoted a deleted post so careful there.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 24/12/2021 22:29

Showed this to DD and DH. Their verdict:
They are innocent of course. Grin

Hawkins001 · 24/12/2021 22:44

Aaawwwwwwww bless em from a cute perspective, but not good from a good hygiene perspective, although how old are they ? They look beauties

Ibizafun · 24/12/2021 22:50

I adore kittens and have two gorgeous ones but after coming out the litter tray I'm not sure if I fancy them on the work surface..
