My cats often want a taste from my plate too. They especially go crazy for chocolate and sweets. I know that those are really, really bad for them, so I have to stay hidden when I eat anything sweet, and I can't leave anything laying around (even the wrappers). The only things they never ask for are the fruits and vegetables. The only "human" food I give them is meat. I let them have some processed meats like baloney, peperoni, hot dogs, ham etc. when I'm making a sandwich or something, I try not to make it too often. But when I'm preparing something with pure meat, I always set some aside for them. I don't leave them any bones, grease or skin, and I put the meat in boiling water for a minute-two just to take care of the parasites.
