Oh crap, so just when I'm telling everyone that my bengals are being more "mellow" they remind me that they are not
I was doing chicken stir fry tonight. And the plan was to get it cooking, then feed the cats, then eat my dinner. I cut up all the chicken into cubes and put them in my wok (power off). The started cutting up other veggies (not 2 ft from the wok).
Then I hear a quiet "thump", and see Serafina, my blue shadow ninja bengal, scurrying away out of the corner of my eye. Oh oh! So I call out "SERAFINA!" and she looks back at me nervously, then breaks into a RUN. Then Gaga who was watching this play out, jumps up on the counter, and starts walking nonchalantly towards the wok.
"NO WAY GAGA... GET DOWN!"
She jumps down, and then runs after Serafina, who clearly selected the BIGGEST cube of chicken, and has it out on the floor, gnawing on it. And Serafina does the "GROWL... Nom Nom Nom... GROWL" bengal thing, telling Gaga that she's not a welcome guest around her bounty. Gaga then tries over and over to get up on the counter and get the chicken, each time getting bolder and more desperate until I finally got out their cat dishes and fed them their dinner.
Note to self: next time feed cats BEFORE working on dinner preparations.
