Harpo the chinchilla has a serious fondness for molasses cookies, and also chocolate. (Neither of which he should have.)
At one point, while he was running around, he got into a cookie box and took one of those Archway molases cookies that are about four inches across? He then tried to run away with it, but it was bigger than the distance between his mouth and the floor, so it would keep throwing his running off. You could just see him getting frustrated, like he was thinking "I have a cookie! But I have to take the cookie and hide it, or they will take it back from me! But the cookie does not want to come with me!"
Another time I was eating a chocolate bar and he jumped into my lab, reached up, and started trying to take it away from me. He was REALLY serious about this... he got both front paws and his mouth into it. You couldn't pry him loose.
That is so darn cute! It's so funny to see there personalities come out. My Lily is a 26 pound British shorthair. She really is gigantic, but she is so sweet and incredibly cuddly. She also gives "head butts" on command. Basically I say "give me love" or "give me head butt" and she comes up to me and knocks me on the head with her head. Well, she is passionate about food, fish and shell fish in particular. One day I was defrosting jumbo prawns in the sink. I hear a funny ruckus coming from the kitchen. When I go in to check it out I see Lily jumping from the counter with an uncooked prawn in her mouth. Myself and Hemingway Jones chased her around the apartment. For a big cat she sure could move when she was determined. She somehow managed to squeeze herself and the prawn under the sofa. By the time Hem and I got to her half of the prawn had been eaten. It was just so funny seeing her scurry around the apartment with this giant shrimp in her mouth, as if losing it would cost her her life. She does take liberties too, and she'll eat anything. The other night we had onion rings. I left the table for a minute to get something. I got back to find Lily on the table eating the onion rings right off the plate. You don't even want to know how bad she can be when we have lobster or sushi for dinner. She will just help herself. Sometimes she'll reach out her paw and pull food right off the plate that I'm eatinf off of. But, no matter how chunky she is, I still love her dearly
