My two would not get into it if I am there, but left alone they sure would.

I have a grey tiger cat-Tommy Girl- she refuses to eat people food. She won't even eat fresh fish or eggs. I recently adopted 2 kittens They were drop offs and I don't believe they were weaned yet. George -the orange tabby-is always eating and nothing is safe - he has even figured out how to open the bread box. I see a very soggy future for him. I keep the spray bottle in hand at all times.His sister China a black long hair -now she won't steal it herself but once George has it on the floor she will help eat the spoils.And my 3 dogs I would not trust them as far as I can throw a Buick. My brother says they are all ''opportunists''...

All my dogs past and present could not be trusted... Molly, sheltie/corgi mix.. I had to go to the hospital one day and we had just ordered pizza, It was left on the table. Molly climbed up and daintily picked off ALL the pepperoni and just ate the cheese off 2 slices. She left the rest minus the pepperoni for the kids.. Andy was always pretty good. I could leave stuff on the coffee table at home but at my brothers he could reach the end table, I went to answer the door and he scarfed down my pork chop. Daisy my dog now , Never touched anything but I left a crème horn on my night stand one evening , went to get tea and came back she was going to town on that thing.. LOL So I don't leave anything anywhere they Might be able to reach anymore.

Our sweet little Havanese/Papillon mix is so good, she won't even sit on my lap if I'm eating something; she just knows that would be rude. But on a few occasions when my son has left his plate on the coffee table, and when no one was around...the temptation was just too much and she's sneaked a few bites. She always feels terribly guilty, but she can't help herself!

My Dog Cookie can't reach anything. If dining chairs are not pushed in she could/would get up on the table. We don't leave food on the table.
I have a grey/black/white male cat that will/has gotten on anything. I took him in and think he might have been given leftovers.
Years ago I had a tricolor female cat that loved powered and/or glazed donuts. She would steal them. Years ago I had a male black cat that loved pumpkin pie. They would get anywhere to get them.

My miniature Schnauzer got a bowl of gravy I had sitting back on the counter next to the wall. He was all bloated and had to be walked to get rid of the gas. He also got smoked fish off the counter, ate them all and left a pile of bones. Have no idea how he got stuff off the counter as he was so small. He also went right through the screen on patio door when he wanted out. He liked to chew up Kleenex and toilet paper.
Our rat terrier would push the chairs back to get on the table and jump to my kitchen island looking for food. He also ate cotton balls with sea breeze. Vet said make him throw up with hydrogen peroxide. He threw up 4 that he could not pass. If he got in the bathroom he would keep jumping and hitting the toilet paper until he unrolled it. My girlfriend called him the devil dog from hell because he got into so much. My husband thought he was really smart and bored. Our vet was always what did he do now? He chewed on the shift ball in my car while I went in to pay for gas.

No way can I trust my dogs around any kind of food! I also won't eat at anyone's house who has cats. Will not eat on any surface knowing their butts and feet have been in a litter box. People laugh at me because before every meal, no matter what, I wash off the table. I have been known to take wipes and wipe off tables at restaurants. Hate sitting at a sticky restaurant table.

My little chihuahua will eat anything that doesn't eat her first. She particularly loves carrots, potatoes, turnips and my coffee if I forget and leave my cup on the table beside my chair. She can be sound asleep but as soon as I get up & walk away I hear her feet hit the floor and then I hear the drinking. She was a stray when my gdtr & friend found her and begged me to take her in. She was skin & bones but now she's up to 8 lbs.
