My cat has developed a taste for lunch meat;

[MIButterfly]

ham, turkey, it doesn't matter. Every time I go to the refrigerator, she thinks I'm going to make a sandwich and she's Johnny on the spot, suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Then if I do have a sandwich and I sit on the couch eating it, she'll either sit next to me crying or else just stare at me, begging like a hungry little dog. She'll be 14 next month and this is something relatively new, the last six or eight months or so.

My other cat eschews people food. For a while, she used to like Jet's (and only Jet's) Italian dressing but she lost interest in that a few years ago. Don't worry, I never gave her any substantial amount of it; I only let her have a few licks of what was left at the bottom of my salad bowl before I took it away.
