Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Peanuts?
I was picking up some snacks to have on hand for John's visit in a couple of weeks. Got a jar of dry-roasted peanuts. When I took the jar out of the bag Persia went absolutely bonkers, meowing at me and pawing at the counter where I'd set it. This isn't normally something I'd buy so I have no idea where she got the idea she wants peanuts! It's the same way she reacts when she sees me take the milk carton out of the fridge, but I know she likes milk. The peanuts have me puzzled! (I had to quickly put them in the pantry out of sight.)

My furballs go absolutely wild for american cheese. it doesn't matter where in the house they are playing and it doesn't matter how quietly i open the lunch meat drawer in the refridgerator.. as soon as my Chloe hears the tiniest crinkle from the package of cheese, she is downstairs at my side snorting like a little pig in an instant! -Lola. > Yes, talking about sensitive hearing...

That's hilarious. You're going to have to play the radio loud, or run the garbage disposal (if you have one), or do something loud to mask the noise when you want a slice of cheese. And they'll probably still hear it. :) Off-topic: Isn't American cheese yummy? (I can hear all the Europeans, Canadians, Australians, and pretty much everyone outside the US, groaning disgustedly. :)) American cheese was the only kind of cheese I even knew about until I was 18. After I discovered cheddar, swiss, brie, and all the others, I was too snobby to eat American. Plus, I'm sure it's horrible for you. But once in a while, I just get a hankering for it. Last week I had an American cheese omelette - creamy goodness! Joyce >> Yes, talking about sensitive hearing...

Are you talking about those individually wrapped slices? Or Velveeta? Because if you are, I don't think there's much dairy products in them, it's pretty much an edible oil product. But then again, I'm not ashamed to admit that I sometimes enjoy a slice of that stuff. It also makes a really yummy dip if you melt Velveeta and mix it with jalapenos and chopped canned tomatoes.

Real american cheese is not the wrapped in plactic processed oil. Around here we get it in the deli - made with real milk. It's similar to mild cheddar only softer.

(SFAIK, it's only available as a "processed" cheese product, with all the flavour and texture of the flour and water paste we used for paper cut-outs when I was kid.) >>> Off-topic: Isn't American cheese yummy?

No, you can get "real" American cheese in the deli cheese section where they also sell brie, gouda, fontina, etc. It's like a mild cheddar.

My fiancee does, but mainly we buy it just for the furbabies. And its not even the Kraft individually wrapped slices ~~ my fiancee goes to the deli dept to have fresh cheese sliced! So basically, when that drawer in the fridge opens, Chloe knows its just for her!! But I can't even sneak the cheese out and surprise her with it. haha. And also.. about the snorting like a pig part.. I wasn't exaggerating that! haha. When she's begging for the cheese, she really does snort and makes these hysterical squealing sounds! Its hilarious! I keep saying I've got to get that on video, but I haven't done it yet! lol. -Lola. > > Yes, talking about sensitive hearing...

Anyway, I don't think it's even AVAILABLE except as "processed", which IMO might just as well be library paste! > Joyce >> Off-topic: Isn't American cheese yummy?

Your bries, fontinas, gruyeres, etc. Real cheddar is there, not in the dairy case with the bags of shredded stuff. Jill >>>Off-topic: Isn't American cheese yummy?

Cheddar, yes - but we were talking about the kind called "American" cheese, which I've certainly not encountered among the blocks of "real" cheese in a deli or European cheese shop. (Of course, it MIGHT be there - it's not something I'd ever be looking for.) > Jill >> The jar is very tightly packed, I didn't notice any rattling sound but my >> hearing isn't as sensitive as hers.

MMMMmmmm...maybe during one of John's previous visits he gave Persia a peanut or 2 ?

They aren't something I normally would buy. Jill
