My cat thinks she's a people, too. She lurves mandarin oranges. She won't eat them, however, unless they come off my plate. The ones I had set in a small bowl in the kitchen for her were obviously not any good. If they had been, I wouldn't have placed them on the floor, and I would have been eating them. But I wasn't; I was eating the ones on my plate, and so those were the ones she wanted.
