Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2005Abelard chose the meatless option
Opened a can of the kitties' favortie gooshy food as I was finishing my own lunch preparations, so we could all eat together. But when Abelard saw my veggie-burger, he would not touch the meaty stuff in his own dish, and started begging me to share my lunch. He hoovered up half a meatless burger along with some green leaf lettuce, while the others enjoyed the extra portion of catfood he left behind. >Opened a can of the kitties' favortie gooshy food as I was finishing my own >lunch preparations, so we could all eat together.

He's been sleeping in it every night since the first time he used it. When he's not in it (daytime) I often find Tommy or Eli in it. Just got another bed for them, see my latest post. I'm hoping one of the girls claims it. > Opened a can of the kitties' favortie gooshy food as I was finishing my own > lunch preparations, so we could all eat together.

Barnabus is a carb junkie. He totally ignores any meat I might be eating for the bread. I think his favorite is pizza crust. Julie > lol! Abelard sounds like Barnabus. Barnabus is a carb junkie.

I don't keep cow milk in the house because I don't use it, but I occasionally find "cat milk" cartons at the discount grocery and they love that. And once in a while I'll get some powdered goat milk for them. That's their favorite of all the milks. >> lol! Abelard sounds like Barnabus. Barnabus is a carb junkie.

For some reason, your post gave me the image of someone trying to milk a cat. ;o)  SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > Opened a can of the kitties' favortie gooshy food as I was finishing my > own lunch preparations, so we could all eat together.

No way did it taste like a burger and I was really shocked when I read the ingredients list. Surely all the crap they put in them to make them taste like meat are much worse for you than actually eating a hamburger.

I sometimes fry up a boca burger: http://www.bocaburger.com/main.aspx?s=&m=index Does it taste or feel exactly like a real burger? Nah. But I actually like them pretty well. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca > I've never tried a veggie burger, do they taste anything like a real > burger? This was a first for me, too. Grabbed them because they were in the Clearance bin at the market, just for kicks. They were pretty good the way I fixed them - with fried mushrooms, red onion, and string beans on the side, and Asian BBQ sauce. But as far as the comparison with beef, I can't really say, because I haven't had ground beef since 1969 and do not remember the taste, which I never did enjoy and only ate because it was one of the few items my mom served at home and I woulda starved otherwise. Depends on what's in it, there's so many different types, what with the ones that are filled with vegetables, to the gross, greasy, meat substitute ones (still taste better than a McShite burger though. My favourite veggie burgers are home made, made with lentils, egg, flour and seasoning, nothing like meat just so happen to be burger shaped. ... or a homemade black bean burger with a fresh mango salsa!

Some vegetarians do. Some don't. Some people who aren't vegetarians are still trying to eat less meat, and they don't mind things tasting like meat. Personally, I usually find that the best veggie dishes are those that aren't trying to be a meat-based dish. Just as the best low-fat dishes are original creations, not foods that were meant to be fatty.

He he, my sentiments exactly. I'm lucky cos most of my friends are veggie, or I'd never go to BBQ's, there's something really gross about the smell of flesh burning isn't there? > Opened a can of the kitties' favortie gooshy food as I was finishing my own > lunch preparations, so we could all eat together.

Who knew there was such a thing as a veggie cat? <G> Joy Not that I personally agree with it, but there ARE plenty of vegetarian cats. > > Opened a can of the kitties' favortie gooshy food as I was finishing my > own [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Joy > Not that I personally agree with it, but there ARE plenty of > vegetarian cats. Cats are obligate carnivores, they need taurine which is only found in meat. Without it they would be very unhealthy, first they'd go blind, then have a much shorter life than they otherwise would.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > A House is not a home, without a cat. > http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk I know, I wouldn't make Otis go veggie, but I think you can get veggie cat food that has synthetic taurine in it, but I could, of course, be wrong as I've never even looked into it as I think it's a crazy idea. It's OK for dogs, as they're basically scavengers though, but I still wouldn't do it, same as I wouldn't make them go Kosher (that's a point, I wonder if you can even get Kosher pet food?) I just googled vegetarian cat food, and you can get it (and vegan) with vegetarian source Taurine. I'm still not doing it though! It's my choice to be a veggie, not Otis's - when he tells me he wants to go veggie, fine - ha ha.

If Abelard ate half of your lunch, weren't you entitled to a share of his? :-P SignatureWayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi) > ??

There really is no telling what a cat will decide is good or bad, is there? I frequently bring home a chef salad from work. Whem I get home the first thing I do is put out some kitty food, but Sammy and Spot always have to check out the salad before starting on their food. Sammy always begs for a piece of ham from the salad, so I usually give her a piece. LB thinks any hoomin food is suspect, but will consent to eating a small piece of ham - assuming the hoomin cuts it into a small piece and holds it for her. Spotty isn't interested in ham at all - unless it has some frence dressing on it. If there's some dressing on it she'll lick it, but the only time she actually eats the ham is if Sammy comes and tries to steal it.
