So, here is the story. I had gotten up to get something and my husband had gone to the bathroom. I turned around and the next thing I knew, he was sitting down and eating my husband's steak! It was so funny, I just had to snap a picture of him. He does not always have such bad table manners, but I believe he thinks he is a dog. Every time he smells meat coming in from being grilled, his head perks up, he starts meowing and he jumps up on the table or in a chair as if entitled to his portion as well! He LOVES it! Tonto is extremely grateful for this self-esteem boost and would love to thank all of those who voted for him! Thanks East Lake Patch and Petco as well!

Oh, I wanted to add that Tonto was adopted by us from the Suncoast Animal League! So, was his dog sister.
