Tealeaf... rhyming slang for thief.... We'd been on the boat all day. I was recovering the bed settee. (The next fur person to claw it is a fur MUFF!) I didn't want to cook a proper meal, so I did Malcolm some burgers, egg and chips, which he ate on his knee, watching the television (as he does). Tia the kitten sat beside him, watching every mouthfull. Suddenly she made her move! A little Apricot coloured paw shot out and grabbed his egg and they both vanished under the coffee table, Tia eating it with all the appearance of great enjoyment. I don't know which was funnier. Her grabbing his egg, or Malcolm's reaction! Linda

Talking of reactions to having a cat make a bid for your food, I think few people can have been as shocked as I was, when a young Oriental kitten grabbed the edge of a bowl of piping hot soup and tried to tip it over himself. His grip was amazingly strong - it was touch and go! Eventually he let go of his own accord - another kitten might have kept on and got himself covered in hot soup eventually. Never again.... I keep my plates well away!
