Defense

Max and Stella had both surrounded the jar of peanut butter, probably (vainly) hoping I would give them unfettered access.  As I tried to take a picture of this, Stella chased Max away, keeping the jar to herself.  Since it was still sealed, she did not gain anything by this tactic.  She will probably try again later.

This is mine!  All mine!  But can you open it for me?
