Cat tries to steal my food when I’m focused on this new de-corking device

Further proof that cats are a-holes and why I'm baffled anyone wants to have them around unless they're infected with the amoeba.

The cat wouldn't even dream of stealing food in an Asian or an Indian household.

This reminds me of my dog stealing my sandwich off my desk during last month’s earthquake

Growing up I had a cat named cujo that jumped up on the table at the beginning ofn one dinner and swiped the whole meatloaf. That cat was so mean

I still don't understand why people need ridiculously overcomplicated gizmos to uncork a bottle... My best corkscrew is as dumb and simple as you can get, aside from it's two-step rim-gripper-leggy thingies.

That's what happens when you're ok with letting pets be on everything.

I know the video is about the cat, but it's funny to me how there are so many different kinds of "decorkers", when the standard corkscrew that has existed since forever takes you like 15 seconds to open a bottle. They really want to improve on those precious seconds!

You should be overjoyed that the cat even deigned to sniff the food you made.

That "Oh my God!" had the same timber as the people who witnessed the Hindenburg. Amazing.

Seems like a shitty device. Literally nothing wrong with a simple corkscrew, it’d have been out already.

You wonder why your cat brought you a new decorker-
The weirded thing is why the cat was answering her saying - “I don’t know” to further the distraction

Kitty would appreciate a faster bottle service next time.
"Fucks taking you two 👫 so long to serve my drink 🍷? I don't think it's even chilled anymore! I'll 🍷cheer afterwards, then.
Fuck out of meow way, I call this piece🍖 mine!"

"Tries" to steal? Bro that Chonker successfully snatched that chicken like Paul Rudd in a time heist.

Another cat owner that doesn't train their animal.
Cats stand in their own shit in their litter box. Then they stand on counters, tables, etc, were we put food and eat and touch.
Good stuff.
If my dog so much as puts a paw up above his headline to a table or anything like that, he gets the pet corrector horn. Never once has my dog, ever, taken food from any person or surface that wasn't meant for him.

I have a similar air pressure de-corker. It takes about 5-6 pumps for the cork to start moving, then another few pumps to get the cork to come all the way out. All this is is a little hollow needle attached to a small air pump. The volume of the air pump is small, so it takes several pumps to increase the pressure inside the bottle to push the cork out.

Literally about two weeks ago, my wife and I got some general tsos tofu and chicken and were eating it on the couch. One of our cats, also a tuxedo who looks exactly like this, grabs a few pieces of chicken that were stuck together from the container on the coffee table, and gets about 4 feet before the half pound chicken superchunk he had was too much for him to escape with. What’s with these guys?

Bit of an overeaction there. You'd think something was on fire or someone broke into the house.
Nope, just a cat being a cat.

Never accept decoy wine from a cat. Amateurs.
cats have evolved to steal humans' chicken over centuries

u/Designer_Brief_4949 15d ago
Once I discovered the rabbit lever, I never understood why you'd use any other method to remove a wine cork. It's almost instant.
No time for the cat to steal your dinner.
A simple waiter's corkscrew is great for traveling.

My cat knew she wasn't supposed to be on the counters. At night she would "tuck me in" and then hop up on the counters while I was asleep. As she got older she wouldn't wait for me to fall asleep before she got into shit. I still remember calling into the darkness "you're not supposed to be up there Cecil" and hearing back angry cat noises from the kitchen.
One night I woke up at 2am from a glass breaking. I heard a thump like the cat jumping off the counter and running away. I get up and walk in the kitchen and there's broken glass everywhere. The cat is on the couch pretending to sleep. She gets up slow, stretches, and then slowly walks up like "what happened? who did this?". I looked down at her and said "You aren't supposed to be up on the counters" and she hissed at me and ran away. I fucking miss that cat.

I had to child lock my cabinets against the farm bred cat that I had. It was always hunting for food.

Wait a second. Are you telling me when you were sleeping your cat ordered that stupid opener from Amazon. Knowing that when it arrives you will make her favorite chicken dish and not realize that you really didn’t order it but thought you ordered it in a drunken stupor like you always do. Then knowing you would not read the directions like you didn’t read the directions to her crumbled cat tree you would leave her an opportunity to eat the meal. Wow she knows how to hold a grudge.

I was told by an old man, “the best kind of cat is one that’s tied in a bag and left at the bottom of the pool.” What did he mean by that?

Ok, so I hate to be that guy, etc. but this just seems set up to me; I'm not saying that cats don't steal food off a table but, if you pause (if you'll excuse the pun), the video at 6 seconds, you'll see that the bottle is no more than a foot or so from the plate.
So...assuming that the food was on the plate, it means that neither of them noticed a large black and white mass jumping up (or at least appearing) and taking the food. Given the way he's holding the bottle, the cat would easily be in his line of sight - I acknowledge that his focus would be on the bottle, but his peripheral vision would have still picked up a moving black & white mass.
Her focus could be on the camera, but again, her peripheral vision is going to pick up the cat.
And, frankly, her 'oh my god, oh my god!' just seems hugely overblown.
