Hi. I bet Miku is a cutie! Well, unfortunately once they develop that habit and have had people food, irs hard to break. I would recommend that you place her in a different room or a crate or.outsidw while you're eating. She may eventually learn she isnt getting any food. Other option is to look in to working with a trainer on this issue. You can ask your veterinarian for a good one in your area.
