OMG! Too fucking funny.. they were both out of room. Cat got on table and was pawing/licking at Curly's food. She came back, noticed that perhaps the cat had been on the table, sniffed at plate, scolded the cat, then switched plates with what will likely be Butch's plate. ;D
EDIT: and like a good little boy, cleaned up his plate, while she was stealing furtive looks his direction as he ate...
