What is the most brazen thing your kitties have done to get a taste of something you were eating?

Here is one that happened this morning:

Dusty has always given me the pathetic, "what about me" look while I eat my cereal in the morning. Usually he sits alert as can be, waiting for me to finish and offer him the last few drops of milk from the bottom of the bowl. I like to eat my breakfast on the couch so he sits on the table next to me patiently. Well he has been getting more and more brave over the weeks.

First he tried sitting on the arm of the couch getting just a tad closer. Then he tried to crawl onto my chest see inside the bowl. Yesterday he just plopped next to me put his front paws on my forearm and just started to help himself to the milk while I was still eating! The nerve!

But today he really pushed it! He jumped right up on the counter next to my bowl and while I was pouring the milk into the bowl he was lapping it up as it poured out of the carton! I was so amazed I couldn't even say anything. After I finished pouring he looked up at me and had milk droplets on his eyebrows and his mouth and nose were completely covered with milk! He looked so innocently at me, like he couldn't figure out what I might be laughing at. I wish I had the camera, it would have made a good "Got Milk" picture.
