...on the counter to cool. My moo cat (who stays out of the kitchen) must have just been tempted beyond his ability to say no.

Cooked them all day and never got to eat any.

Oh my ... what goes in must come out. Hope it isn't as bad as I expect. Kitty may have a rough night with all that fiber.

I thought the same. I *think* they were just licked and not eaten. I told my germaphobe mother that DH was still going to eat them. kidding of course!

I feel your pain! We've had "cat thieves" through the years. A couple of my favorite stories...

I made a large batch of meatballs. We had some for dinner, and, like you, I was letting them cool on the stove. We had to go out for something. When we returned, I noticed that the cat needed to get out of the house in a hurry. I walk into the kitchen, and there are 3!!!meatballs left in the pot, and tomato-ey pawprints on the stove and floor. No wonder he had to make a quick getaway!

Same cat, years later. I cooked a pork roast, and was letting it rest on the stove. I walk back into the kitchen a few minutes later, and there's the cat, eating the pork roast. I yelled, and he took one big jawfull, and leapt to the floor, pork roast and all.

Sadly, this cat is no longer with us. When we buried him, I put a few meatballs in his (cardboard box) casket, in tribute. I loved that cat, but he was a handful!
