Our favorite feline food supervisors never miss a bite. It isn't really snack time until you unwrap a bag of snacks and your cat starts asking for your food. No, you'll never eat alone as long as you're living in their house. You have to share it with them. They're hungry. Possibly starving, even if you filled their bowl a few minutes ago. Scroll down for some food-obsessed cat memes proving mealtime is a shared snack ritual with your cat.

Hey there, you got any snackie snacks? I better not find out it's snack time and you forgot to invite me, hooman. I heard that wrapper crinkle from the other room. I live here too. I also have nostrils; I can smell it. If you were planning to enjoy it without my feline approval, then you were wrong. Please share. Thank you.

Your cat could be napping all day, lying under the warmest ray of sunshine, with no intention of moving at all, until you open a bag of chips or unwrap a sandwich. Not to mention if you open a can of tuna. They would go crazy. Suddenly, they are wide awake and standing next to you, rubbing against your legs and meowing to get your attention.

Snack time wouldn't be the same without their little faces next to us. They may stare at us, place a gentle paw on the table, and act like they haven't eaten in twenty years, but you know they're there for some quality control. Yes, they're food quality testers you never hired, but they're committed to their job. And we respect their dedication. They don't even need to know what you're eating. The funniest part is that you could be having something they would reject if you offered it to them, but they would be offended if you didn't let them say no. They just want to be included. And that's so sweet, don't you think? Sharing your meal with a fluffy companion is part of life in a cat owner's home.
