Why people can't throw their leftovers in litter bins I don't know! How can I stop this when he's off-lead? He will let me take food from him when he comes so worried that if I scold him he'll stop bringing it to me.Catch 22 really! or do I just have to resign myself to owning a greedy BT? But we've already had 1 upset tum that I'm sure was from rotting food.Thanks folks

They are all Champion Cat Poo Hunters! The tastiest truiffles ever invented, and manna from heaven as far as they are concerned! I uselessly try and call them away (which just makes them scoff faster), but I'm often too busy gagging and heaving to make any noise :yikes:
