That's quite funny. I had a third cat for a while and he was young but quite well built. He would find the food box and take a pouch of wet food out, open it up and eat it. Initially, I never saw this happening but randmonly found a shredded pouch with most of the food gone biggrin The same goes for treats in the resealable bag. If it wasn't ripped open he would jump on them untl they popped open. The same one would drag food off the table and the other 2 would then join in.

My moggy we taught him at a young age to give his paw, lie down, sit etc with the promise of treats we even got him to do it with just the movement of our hands, although once bored would just sit and look at you until you either gave him the treats normally or to someone else that would.

You leave a pack of treats out then can guarantee to find them all gone and the pack in a mess on the floor, he also knows where is food is and will wait there until one of us walk out there to feed him or he will start to meow and get louder and louder, if we still ignore he will push the door open if door and meow some more. If that doesn't work will jump up on you and annoy the fk out of you until you feed him.

You put food down takes a few bites then fks off and leaves it till later or will sit by the same draw and wait for fresh food to be put down as hes gone of the food already in the bowl.

He jumps through the back window to come back in and the window is 7ft high from the bottom of the conservatory roof then slides back down the other way hes mental.

Ended up having to fit child locks to the cupboard that we keep our hordes noms in to prevent pilferage. They really like fresh cat food - big fuss when a new bag is opened - one cat is expert at opening the doors, the other at slicing the bags open. Third one just waits until the bag's open then bullies her way in to get first pickings.
