    You will want thick gloves, a thick towel, and a container with lid to insert the cat into. Beans is not declawed, and knows you will struggle to maneuver under the bed. You may need a spray bottle of water as well.

    Good luck.

    declawed

    I haven't yet had my fingertips snipped off either. Lovely euphemism for "mutilation of extremities".

    Our Cleo once grabbed a whole KFC drumstick, and managed to swallow it whole. That was one expensive evening at Kitty ER.

    She also frickin LOVES Parmesan cheese. I caught her getting into a large cabinet, and in the back she had a stash of those little packets, like you get at a pizzeria.

    I cooked a lobster tail once, and our big alpha tomcat decided that he was just going to take it from me, right off my plate. I was more than willing to share, but he had other plans.

    He had NEVER tried to steal anything before, he just really couldn't resist the smell of that lobster.

    Nine pounds apparently is around 4kg, that's well within the normal weight range for a cat, why are you calling beans out for it?

    Beans would learn about the spray bottle that day. He would growl and be wet at the same time. Sad thing he knew he was not getting any of this without taking action so he took his chances. You may chastise him but he has already won

    My dog resource guards. I don't know if I'm supposed to do this but when she gets in that mood I feel it is important that she not "win". I'm thinking this would reinforce that behavior.

    I get bit a lot.

    You should swap out the thing she has with something else of value. Treats, licky mat, toy, another piece of meat, whatever. This gets her used to something being taken off her and it not being a bad thing. Eventually the swap is just for praise or a pat, but for really valuable things you may still need something more valuable.

    Every single day I see something from a pet owner that reaffirms how happy I am to not have pets.

    My cat I got when he was a few months old.

    Picked up from the street, would have died in the winter probably.

    However I raised him to deny any of my food. He has its own food.

    It was difficult the first 3 times. He begged for the food the whole time I ate. And even tried to get sth. But I was iron willed to keep my food.

    The 4th time he never begged or tried to get sth.

    And now I can even leave the food unattended for 2 minutes with him nearby and he won't try to get sth.

    3 minutes is risky though.

    I've raised dozen of strays I picked-up from the streets over my lifetime. None but one was food motivated enough to steal our food, and the orange one that did isn't so stubborn as to push his luck, a simple hush was enough to deter him.

    Though I'm South-East Asian, most of our food is plant-based and the occasional meat we have is drenched in seasoning I don't think they recognize it as food lol.
