I made a tuna/asparagus/cheese pie topped with mashed potato today for my
dinner tonight. Kitty sat on the arm of my chair begrudging me every
mouthful.
I told her to go and eat the food she'd already got in her bowl and didn't
give her any. Now I feel guilty.
I would never allow my dogs to beg for the food I was eating, it's such
bad manners so I apply the same rule to my cats. Do you think this is
unreasonable? I was a little bit tempted to give her some, but it's
probably a bad idea.
She will already occasionally creep up beside me when I am eating and put
her paw out and swipe something off. It's always the meat that she runs
off with.

No I don't think you are too strict. If you start giving her your food,
she will keep asking for food whenever you eat.
Plus you never know which people food are bad for cats.
Rusty likes to circle under the dining table when I am eating my meals.
Sometimes I have to confine him in his room or feed him first.
He especially likes the smell of Swiss Chalet chicken and even put his paws
on
my lap to try to come up for a bite, but to no avail.
