Thwarted Kittens

So.
The human comes home with a care package from the grandhuman.
The usual - the print newspaper, this and that, which this time included a package of home-made oatmeal cookies (the grandhuman's speciality).
Now, the last time this happened, the absent minded human absent-mindedly left the cookies on the - now-infamous - dining room table, only to be found by kittens and eventually turned over to the local bird population.
This time, the absent-minded human absent-mindedly left the cookies on the now extra-infamous dining room table.
Some time later she became aware of kittens, studiously prowling the dining room table.
Hmm.
Well...
What?
It finally dawns on her that they are, in fact, using their kitten x-senses to slowly zero-in on... cookies!
The heartless human at first seizes the cookies and stashes them in a cupboard.
Shortly thereafter, her non-heart softens and she actually eats a cookie - solely for the purpose of sharing it with... kittens!
Please note: She certainly would have shared it with cats as well, but they are much too mature and dignified to eat cookies.
