We have a tradition in our family. Our pets get "the last bite".
All animals beg for food. Even though they get their own special food, they want ours. We make them wait.
The dogs sit politely, knowing that their turn will be coming. The cats, however, haven't learned this.

We do not allow the cats on our laps or certainly, not on the table while we're eating. Leo jumped up and stuck his nose right into Pam's plate. Right after I took this photo, Pam put Leo on the floor. Of course, he immediately jumped back up. And Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down. And he jumped back up, and Pam put him down.
Cats are persistent.
Finally, it was time for the last bite.
The pitbulls are patient, but Olivia the German Shorthaired Pointer has a hard time controlling herself and sometimes tries to intercept Ruby or Chevy's bite. She'e learning, though, that her turn is coming and she's getting better.
Don't worry, Leo got his too.
Well there are a few ways to cure the jumping on the lap at the table. Have a tin with dry beans at the ready. When you think the cat is at the ready for the jump,, shake the can. Others would say use a squirt bottle of water and lightly spritz at the ready. Cats aren't as trainable as dogs. Good luck!
