Spot, I understand that this behaviour is dictated by your species’s strong food motivation, however it is considered “annoying” and unacceptable to the other crew members. Please be a good cat and cease it while Geordi is visiting this afternoon.

Replicator sound would totally be like opening a can.

I heard the replicator. Is there food? Do I get food? Maybe I should trip you, you haven’t provided food yet, you must not see me.

The logic follows real behavior. Just fed the cats, they’ve walked away from the leftover food and in cleaning mode. Open some unrelated container…cats are back in the kitchen expecting something.

Cats never change
