I’ve got a little man cat who always needs to get a sniff of anything you are eating. He doesn’t want to eat or nab any of it, but he has to get that little sniff and then he’s fine, not once has he ever tried to eat or steal people food. I think it’s adorable and I just assume he’s looking out for me and making sure it’s not poison.

Mine does the same. I greet her by gently blowing in her face so she knows what I might have had to eat while I was away.

You should pretend you're going to eat some food that is off and see if he acts differently. Report back!

He grabbed at my hand to stop me! He is looking out for me! What a neat little dude, I love him so much.

A special little man! Nice to know you have someone looking out for you!
