My cat used to constantly pester me for foodevery time I sat down to eat. It only had to hear the cutlery drawer opening and it would be in like a shot, rubbing itself all over my legs and purring. This was very sweet to start with, but eventually because very irritating, so one day when it wouldn't leave me alone while I was eating a curry infront of the telly, I thought sod it - you want to eat my food so much, you go ahead.
I put down my plate on the floor, and the cat set to for a good 30 seconds (it was chicken curry), suddenly paused, thought for a second, then bolted from the room and out through the catflap as if someone had wired it to a car battery.
The next day I was sat in the back garden with a coulpe of friends, chatting away over a few beers, when all of a sudden, there was a sound like a fully grown builder letting off for pleasure. This enormous noise, it transpired, has come from my tiny cat, which shot out of a nearby bush with an expression of pure terror on its face.
Didn't stop it pestering me for food all the time, but it did avoid the curries..
