Cats are agile and fast and can teleport, but ultimately you have the big brain so no. Like, don't leave the meat out and wander off. Lay down the law early with the cat about not being allowed on the counter, but be advised that your control is not complete and you have a little opportunist in your home.I have never had cats, is it that hard to keep them from licking your food?
I think it's on the level of not leaving the keys in your car.
Once I left coffee and a raised doughnut on the table to answer the door--it was the mailman, so very briefly. When I came back, the entire doughnut was completely gone. Not being eaten, not being licked, gone.
That's how I learned that specific cat was Mr. Bread Vacuum and I had to adjust my cat protocols accordingly. Cat before him, cat after him didn't give a damn about bread products, but this guy was unstoppable and once snaked a piece of buttered toast off a plate by re-a-a-a-ching up with one extended claw. Ultimately I'm the human so it's my responsibility.
Or if you're changing food on them, or if they stole and ate an entire doughnut in 30 seconds, so yeah.Cats only fart when they are super stressed out. Or chronically fucked in the guts. She's doing something wrong.
Sometimes it can be something less obvious, like a dental infection.
