Well, turns out we have cats with very expensive taste. We had a
japanese fusion dinner tonight, I made a crab guacamole with chips and a
sashimi of tuna with cucumber and melon. While I was preparing the tuna,
I decided to give the scraps (a bit of every tuna steak has a lot of
connective tissue) to the cats, to see if they would eat it. Mind you,
these are the same cats that would not touch the fancy, home-made raw
food I've made for them in the past. Nor will they eat the rather pricey
commercially available raw food. But sashimi-grade tuna, at $16 a pound
was a *huge* hit! They devoured every ounce of it.
Sigh. I have cats with expensive taste.

LOL! Reminds me of Nikki, who would only accept a treat of a bit of
cheese if the cheese was some expensive kind. I always wondered if she
could read the price on the label.

I KNOW mine can read the prices on the cat-food cans! (Just
let me find one of their favorites on sale, and they'll
promptly refuse to touch it!)

My daughter used to manage a Japanese restaurant. One of their specialties
was on Wednesday they would get fresh ahi tuna if it was available. (Fish
monger was another Japanese merchant across the street) To get the very
best sashimi for the particular customer takes a very sharp knife and many
years of skill. Her boss had that skill. Once he sliced the tuna the
slices would melt in your mouth like butter.

Coincidentally the local order of the feral cat hung out in the vacant lot
behind the restaurant.

Our sushi shop down the street attracted a feral cat that the bicycle
shop across the street from it eventually adopted. Nice cat, now RB
of old age. He always greeted all the dogs, cats and people walking
by.

My picky ones won't touch sushi but they sure prowl when we're eating
it. Once they lick a piece they decide they have had better tuna in
their lives and ignore it.

Wish I could be there for even a few days. What passes for sushi around
here lately should be punished with jail time.

Where in Japan are you? Tom and I went there on vacation to celebrate
our 10th anniversary. What an amazing country!!! We can't wait to go
back.
Anyhow, we loved a little sushi restaurant in Tokyo called Edo-Gin,
near Tsukiji. It's awesome!!!

Cheers.

It sounds like they are not the only ones. MLB
