Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006Ilegal kibble tastes better
Last night I came in from work and to the Fabulous Furballs this means just one thing- FOOD! The pair of them can go from comatose to high speed in a nanosecond through they'll never come close to Fugazi (RB) who was known to be able to run for the kitchen and commence eating and only wake up by the third mouthful. So there I am in our narrow kitchen, listening to the chorus that suggests they haven't seen food for a month and I reached for the kibble bag, dodging Sarsi who takes this moment to weave around under my feet and also went to turn the microwave on- cats first then Hoomins. Alas as I did that I knocked the lid off the steamer and had to dive for it because if it goes down the side of the cooker it's a job to get it out. Of course this action causes a largish quanitity of kibble to fly out of the bag and go all over the floor. The Furballs looked at each other and I could almost read their thoughts "We're not supposed to have that much food, she'll put it back. QUICK!!" I got the impression that a swarm of pirahna's had invaded my kitchen!!! They went mad for it, diving about the place, foraging for their dinner. I think they enjoyed hunting down the kibble rather than having it all in one place My kitchen floor looks cleaner as well...must be kitty dribbles Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Last night I came in from work and to the Fabulous Furballs this means > just one thing- FOOD!

My kitchen is very narrow, and if I've been away for the day, a shark feeding frenzy comes to mind. They act like they're starving, and they're definitely not. Do you notice the shark activity is much more intense when the weather first turns cold? It's the darndest thing. I think that somewhere in their little brains, they think they must store fat for the winter or something. Sherry > LOL! I know that scenario.

QUICK!!" It's like when there's an accident involving currency, and cash is floating and landing all over the street. :) Joyce I'm fostering 4 kittens right now and have 4 adult cats of my own. I'd just been to PetCo and picked up 2 bags of kitten crunchies. I fed my big kitties and left one bag of kitten food on the counter while I went upstairs to feed the kittens. Of my 4 cats, three would totally leave the bag alone unless they were starving....I forgot about Sabrina. She is over 3 years now, but still gets into EVERYTHING. I came back down to the kitchen and there is an open bag of kitten food with a huge gapping hole and kitten food all over. Sabrina strikes again! She couldn't have been hungry, having just eaten. I think it was the deliciousness of the Ilegal Kibble. Debbie dberry@mitre.org > Last night I came in from work and to the Fabulous Furballs this means > just one thing- FOOD!

I've NEVER had cats before that would disembowel a bag of cat food before. I had to open a bag of cat food yesterday, one that was somewhat larger than our usual bags. I can't completely empty it into the plastic food containers that we have, because there's still cat food left in the bag after the containers are full. The good news is, an effective way to protect a not-yet-emptied bag of cat food crossed my mind. I locked it in one of the cat carriers! That's one cat food bag that NOBODY'S going to be ripping a hole into! :o) Donna Meowmy takes all the fun out of hunting wild cat kibble! No fair! Captain and Stanley. That's a great idea! I usually put things to store in the microwave or fridge because Sabrina hasn't figured out how to open those. She can, and does, open the cabinets above and below the counters.

Hey, weese kats are mighty hunters. We hunts the d-thing's food a lot. Speedy don't like it, but tough. Speedy's kibble is tough, but wild and weese not allowed in the garrage where the mean hoomins hide the cat foods. They leave the gooshy food out but I haven't figured out how to open it yet.

Here's something that makes me think Caliban may not be the sharpest pencil. He and Miranda are well able to open the cabinet under the sink. They used to open it frequently and drag out the rolls of kitchen paper that I stored there. Now I have a baby lock on that cabinet door. I store Caliban's kibble (he only gets a few pieces as a treat every evening) in another cabinet that has the exactly same door, that Caliban could easily open if he wanted to. But he doesn't. He knows what's in there, because every time I open that cabinet, he comes running and dives into it to snatch a bit of kibble from the open bag. But he doesn't open it himself. I truly hope he never figures this one out. ;o) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

And the carrier will smell good when you have to use it for its more conventional purpose. Joyce >Last night I came in from work and to the Fabulous Furballs this means >just one thing- FOOD!

I'm like that with coffee. :) I can picture your kitties chowing down on the floor. You must've been happy that you didn't need to clean up the mess. > >Last night I came in from work and to the Fabulous Furballs this means > >just one thing- FOOD!

(I'm so short sighted that the first thing I do is put my specs on and the last thing I do at night is take them off- without them I once started stroking one of Dave's shoes thinking it was a Furball) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs In <1157534991.533182.316250@i3g2000cwc.googlegroups.com>, Lesley <LMadigan@hhnt.nhs.uk> shouted to everyone in earshot, >I think they enjoyed hunting down the kibble rather than >having it all in one place I'd bet on it. I have a little jar of cat treats, "catviar", whole pieces of which are smaller than Iams/Eukanuba barrel-shaped kibble. I'll sit in the dining room and chuck them into the living room, foyer, or hallway and watch 4 cats go berserk. too much fun. <G> Jeff |
