My dog used to do the same - silly basitd
My cats are sneaky fookers tho - they go hunting everywhere if there's the chance they might scavenge something
Since it's xmas there's constantly meats being taken in and out of fridge etc, and they have learnt the sound the plastic bag and tinfoil make and associated it with turky or beef etc...
They weren't amused this eve tho when I pulled out my birthday cake, took the bag off it to cut some, and three cats appeared at my feet. I showed em what it was, they turned their noses up and fooked off
