Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Yummy food (or not)
I put down just now, in case the cats might like it, something I hadn't eaten from a few days ago I had in the fridge as I haven't much appetite at the moment. In a Pyrex casserole dish was slices of pork, green beans, carrot, mashed potato and parsnip. Boyfriend examined it and declared the whole lot disgusting. Kitty FC started to scarf down on the beans first of all, then everything else. Which proves how she had survived so long without a home and he was thin until he came here. He looked at the pork, and the veg. He said I never eat that sort of thing, I like Whiskas pouches.. Kitty was glad since she got the whole lot to herself and her tummy is so full she can hardly move. She is now snoring in front of the fire. :-) Tweed > I put down just now, in case the cats might like it, something I > hadn't eaten from a few days ago I had in the fridge as I haven't [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Tweed Awwwww. I wanna see pictures of sleepy Kitty FC with the full tummy! And as for Boyfriend, I'm sure he was simply being gallant.

She is mega-snoring with a tummy that is so full she will only be able to go out tomorrow. >And as for Boyfriend, I'm sure he was simply being gallant. (chuckling) BF is a darling and gallant would not be out of the question.

Of course my boyfriend, Boyfriend, is a VERY gallant kitty - ofurwise I woodent be his girlfriend! Mimi (Weeble's Sisfur) Otis does this funny thing. He's not allowed treats anymore cos of his health problems, and besides which we're vegetarian, so it would be beneath him to beg. However, we sometimes have Tivali sausages which smell like the real deal, so he always begs for some, I cut off a tiny bit which he takes (with his mouth) walks away, realises what it is (again, you'd think he'd be wise to it by now), spits it out and uses it as a football until it goes somewhere like under the sofa, where I find it, nicely mouldy and covered in hair the next time I hoover, mmm! > Otis does this funny thing.

LOL! Poor deceived kitty! I do have to ask though, why do vegetarians buy "meat substitutes"? If you don't want to eat meat, that's fine, but why make food from soy products seem like meat? Like sausages? Like burgers? Like bacon? I don't understand this. Of course, I also don't understand non-alcoholic beer and wine. <G> Jill >> Otis does this funny thing.

Tofu gets boring. So you get the soy and gluten based substitutes to add protein to your diet. It isn't easy to get complete protein in a vegetarian diet. Particularly one that excludes dairy and eggs and fish. They also add variety to the diet and enable you to cook familiar recipes. I was all grown up before I realized one problem I had as a kid was a mild gluten allergy. Bread isn't enough to trigger it. Fake meat is. Jo I suppose basically I never went off the taste, just where it comes from. We don't eat that much of it, normally if we want a "sausage" shaped food, we make it ourselves out of tofu, veggies, beans etc., but sometimes I crave the flavour of meat (yes I know I'm weird but there you are!). Mind you, I don't understand non-alcoholic beers, tastes even worse than real beer which I hate, and there's so many nice non-alcoholic drinks in pubs at the moment, but I think men mostly drink it to blend in with their mates, I don't know any women who drink it personally. > Otis does this funny thing.

Fenda (RB, bless her) used to beg for cheese and cottage cheese whenever we opened the fridge door, but the boys aren't interested in it, and we've stopped eating most dairy products now anyway. Cav still licks the plate clean if I've had Marmite and toast though. Jeanette I forgot about that, my partners cat Roots loves Marmite, we sent Marmite a video of her doing it, but they didn't reply - quel surprise! > Otis does this funny thing.

Oh, what nice little treats he leaves you! I'm a vegetarian, too, and the older cats know that. Sometimes Frank begs anyway, because he likes some vegetables (like tinned peas and maize). Mere hasn't learned yet that Meowmie never has meat on her plate, or maybe she just likes veggie food. One day, she happily ate some penne in tomato sauce. Another day she tasted a slice of cucumber. just as well, since she won't eat wet or dry cat food, only fresh meat. I know she doesn't need veggies, but she's getting some anyway. Oh, and all the cats love and uncooked stick of spaghetti! Not just to play with, but to chew on.

You never know what mine are going to eat though it seems that whatever it is, at least one of them will want a sniff before passing on it. -- Regards and Purrs, O J > Kitty was glad since she got the whole lot to herself and her tummy is so > full she can hardly move. She is now snoring in front of the fire. :-) Aww! Kitty certainly knows how to look after herself.
