Wow, Otis uses my veggie sausages as footballs.  He always wants a
taste, so I cut him a tiny piece (they must smell like the real thing
to him) - when he realises it's "fake" he spits it out and boots it
under the sofa!

Each patty is 2.669 Tablespoon (conversion from weight to volume)
One tablespoon equals 14.235 grams or 38grams per patty.

Omar had approx 37% of the patty.

Each patty has 270mg sodium divided by 37% =  99.9mg of sodium

These nice folk claim that for good nutrition 2g per day is enough
sodium for an aspiring adult cat.

(based on this alone, the peice of patty you fed your kitten should
give him a 50 days supply of sodium)

This doesn't sound logical I admit; not to mention the kitten will pee
out most of the sodium probably within 1 1/2 days?

On Ruprechts can of Friskies Mixed Grill, it says kittens should be fed
2-3 times a day (as much as they can eat)...this tells me that the
sodium allowance above should be curved. so we'll call it 40 day supply
of sodium.

All this nutritional study has made me hungry for a italian sub! :)

God, there used to be a Canters Deli in Leeds, Yorkshire (England)
where I grew up, it was kosher - wonder if they're related!  Even
though I'm veggie now I still remember their wonderful salt beef and
latkes, vienna sausages etc. Mmmm - tummy growling could almost turn
(but not quite!)

You went to Cantor's?  <jealous jealous jealous>

Did you pick up any pastries? :)
