Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Sandwich Radar
Last night I was working on the computer and Smokey was poke-poke-pokin' on my lap, all folded into a meatloaf. DH went into the kitchen. Suddenly, Smokey tensed right up, then sprang from my lap and beelined into the kitchen. I called out, "Are you making a sandwich?" DH answers, "Yeah, I just opened the breadbag and got the knife." "Smokey's sandwich radar picked up on it." Sure enough, DH looks down and there's Smokey at his feet, waiting for his "sandwich tax." (Smokey gets a bite of each sandwich made in this house.) --Fil > Last night I was working on the computer and Smokey was > poke-poke-pokin' on my lap, all folded into a meatloaf.

Persia comes running at the sound of anything that crinkles, be it the bread bag, aluminium foil, waxed paper... God forbid I open the wax bag inside a box of Cheese Nips or other crackers. She's crazy about Cheese Nips and will swipe one out of my hand if I don't pay attention, despite my attempts to keep them away from her. I don't want to have to repeat the kitty Heimlich!

Oh, when I had to pill Persia after her bladder surgery I had to make a grand presentation of NOT getting pills out of the bottle. Any noise to cover it up, and then act all nonchalant (with pill in hand). Scritches. Love my Persia! Sneak attack - oh, yeah, you're getting this pill!

Nikki knows that it's time for her hyperthyroidism meds when I start crushing the pills in a little mortar and pestle that my Mum gave me for Yule the other year. When I've crushed the pills, I empty them into a little bowl and knock on the mortar with the pestle to empty it, that is when Nikki knows it's time to go hide under the bed.

The nearest I have got to that was when I had to worm the dog. Now the packet said the pills were palatable to dogs so I tried to feed the dog who promptly spat the bill into his bowl. Enter Speedy Joe. He sees something in dog bowl-must be a treat and the rotten hoomin is giving it to the d*g! He bolts forwards and before anyone could stop him gulps down in one swallow a worming pill for a 65+ pounds dog! He wasn't at all ill afterwards then again the things that cat ate it's probably one of the more harmless things But when it came to worming Speedy Joe with a cat pill... We both still have the scars Lesley Slave to the Fabulous Furballs > > I think this is akin to the pillbottle radar that sends hyperthyroid > > Buddha slinking off to hiding places before I can give her the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > cover it up, and then act all nonchalant (with pill in hand).

Until DH was making a shaved-ham sandwich, and let Lizzie eat as mucu of the ham as her tummy would hold. Half an hour later, she urked it up on our bed. Lizzie has had no interest in people-food since then. Only eats food from her dish. On occasion, she will eat from Weeble's (if I don't respond and fill her dish as quickly as she demands). Will not eat gooshey food, only likes crunchies - chicken flavored ones at that (but we do mix diet food with it in her bin, so it all smells the same by the time it gets to her food dish). Moe, however, has to have her own plate or bowl whenever we eat. She *always* wants a taste of what we have. Moe the Moocher is one of her nicknames ;) --?

The one thing that keeps it all from devolving to a scene of lions feeding on the Serengeti plain is that, although I'm outnumbered, I'm a lot bigger than they are, and I'm armed. =o) And I insist they stay one arm's length away from me. But just forget about leaving food unguarded, around here. Melissa >Last night I was working on the computer and Smokey was >poke-poke-pokin' on my lap, all folded into a meatloaf. DH went into [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >(Smokey gets a bite of each sandwich made in this house.) That sounds like Scout and Silver's 'dairy product' radar... they get to lick the lid of any container of dairy stuff (yoghurt or pudding) that we open. They were rather disgusted tonight - I made real rice pudding this afternoon and I thought they'd love it but apparantly they hate cinnamon. They sniffed the bowl and turned their backs on it in disgust! Anyway, all you have to do is to pick up a yoghurt container and they come running... ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com *remove 'nospam' to reply > Last night I was working on the computer and Smokey was > poke-poke-pokin' on my lap, all folded into a meatloaf.

It takes my kitties the sound of a knife touching a mayonaise jar to know there is a sandwich in the making. :) This gang all gets a taste of some lunchmeat when I make a sandwich, too. Mixed results. Bonnie is a "dry food junkie" but will occasionally eat ham. Scarlett has decided she loves ham. Shamrock loves ham but usually has it stolen from him by Scarlett. Rhett doesn't like ham. SignatureCheryl >LOL! I'm impressed. It takes my kitties the sound of a knife >touching a mayonaise jar to know there is a sandwich in the making.

My old two cats back on Maui, Reggie and Moire' loved ham, but my two here in Florida, Tryone and Chloe, won't touch it. I cube it into really small chunks and it just sits there. I dunno!?!!? kili > >LOL! I'm impressed. It takes my kitties the sound of a knife > >touching a mayonaise jar to know there is a sandwich in the making. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > There's a cat that doesn't like ham!?? :) Nox hates ham too. Anything that isn't crunchy isn't food, in Her Majesty's exalted opinion. Smokey doesn't just want ham--he wants an entire bite of the sandwich, bread, tomato and all. In his wild days, if he couldn't catch prey, he'd beg for leftover Canadian Forces Box Lunches, which usually contain sandwiches--and he'd eat the entire sandwich. > >Rhett doesn't like ham. > > There's a cat that doesn't like ham!?? :) I agree I am totally in shock! My cats have always loved ham. I remember when we first introduced Redunzel and Sarrasine to ham. We were eating some and they were looking hopefully at us being at that stage when they were curious about everything so we sucumbed. Redunzel got a bit first, now I have to explain that Redunzel is either (depending on your point of view) a sensible older sister or she thinks Sarrasine is her kitten, she certainly mothers and fusses over her, so Sarrasine seeing Redunzel getting this stuff, came to try it for herself. Normally Redunzel gives in but this time... We're looking at each other saying "What the Hell is that noise?!" Then we realise Redunzel is actually growling at Sarrasine. This growl would not have shamed a medium to large dog. Yet the noise is emerging from a small 4 month old ball of fur. Sarrasine's face was a picture!

What is wrong with him???? SignatureCheryl > "Smokey's sandwich radar picked up on it." > > Sure enough, DH looks down and there's Smokey at his feet, waiting for > his "sandwich tax." LOL! It takes so little. One time, I was cleaning around my (then) studio flat. The cats were sound asleep. It didn't bother them in the least that I kept making a lot of noise. No matter what I did, they were as sound asleep as ever. I decided to make a test. Quietly, I crept over to the cupboard where I kept their food, reached for the handle -- and before I had even opened the door, there they were, wide awake and doing the starving act.

Once, I came back to the kitchen after answering a phone call, and I found my (Fortunately mostly empty) bag of kettle chips skating around the kitchen floor with Izzy's hind legs and tail poking out the open end. She was going to get every last CRUMB she could find. I wish I'd owned a camera, then!

For mine it's the sound of opening a mayonnaise jar that tells them a sandwich is in the offing. Regards and Purrs, O J
