It reminds me of a girl I used to work with she had a labrador puppy who was only a few months old when he stood on his back legs he only just got his nose up to the kitchen worktop, one day she left a leg of lamb resting on the worktop it was pushed right to the backshe left the kitchen and and when she came back it was missing and she found the dog in the garden with it she never found out how he got it!
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
Fortunately my two cats know that the kitchen is out of bounds and even though I've left the door open and food on the work surface they will not steal.
Harvey is a very leggy cat. When I'm getting their treat dinner of prawns is the only time he comes into the kitchen and it still mesmerises me to see this white paw appear on the work surface. How he can reach that high is beyond me. He furtles about hoping to find a prawn. Usually its the tea towel he finds and pulls on his head. Or the oven glove. Daft beggar.
I've never had a cat that has gets on the worktops fortunately. Boots got up there once a few months ago and got told off sharpish. I've never seen tell-tail footprints, but I never leave food out. If something is cooling/defrosting I usually leave it in the oven or microwave, a habit I got into more about flies and things than the cats.

Mr FP nearly let Boris get the weekend joint a month or two ago when he left the door through to the dining room open when he came in from outside through the kitchen. Fortunately I had left it covered and he was still working out how to get at it. Now I put stickies on both sides of the door reminding Mr FP to make sure the kitchen is cat free. I have a chair in there ( Arthur related) which they both like to sit on if I am pottering in the kitchen but when I am around work surfaces are no go however Mr FP is a sucker for Boris's charms and I am not sure what goes on.
