Potato chips (potato crisps, for those overseas) are Kenzie's all time
favorite treat. Her previous humans told me about this (fortunately), as
she doesn't give a second look (or smell) to Pounce, or other cat
treats. Despite this advice, I bought sever kinds of cat treats, which
Kenzie completely ignores. (Silly cat....)

For the Fourth of July, I bought a small piece of beef to barbecue, and
a bag of potato chips. I love potato chips myself, but since  I have
very high cholesterol and serum lipids, and potato chips are not exactly
a very good food for me, I don't buy them very often. (I do buy the very
small 'lunch size' bags of potato chips for Kenzie, when I see them, as
she enjoys them so very much).

Any way, I barbecued  my piece of beef, and upon opening the bag of
potato chips, Kenzie did her usual trick of exceeding the speed of light
in arriving just before I actually made any of the distinctive noise of
opening the bag of chips. I dutifully gave Kenzie her fill of potato
chips, which she ever so delicately takes from my fingers, one at a
time, and carries over to her food bowl to eat, (so she can get the
crumbs). She's such a little lady!

Well I made the mistake of leaving the bag of potato chips on a chair,
instead of the kitchen counter, as I should have last night.

Kenzie will not jump up on the kitchen counter, or any table, etc. even
to get her beloved potato chips; but any chair in the house  is a
favorite napping spot.        

So this afternoon, I found that Kenzie had had a little potato chip orgy
at some point, tearing into the bag and eating many potato chips. She
then proceeded to take a nap curled up on the almost  empty potato chip
bag. Ther were potato chip crumbs all over the (thankfully dark) chair
seat, (but almost none on the floor).

The sight of Kenzie curled up sleeping on an almost empty bag of potato
chips  had me laughing almost to tears.

She woke at the sound of my laughter, with that 'what's wrong with you
look' on her face, and proceeded to *eat what potato chips were left*!

All in all, I think Kenzie has had a better 4th of July celebration than
I did!
