This explains the behavior of Grendl, 14-year-old black cat at one of our
son's best friends; while at a BBQ in their backyard, I was picking off
succulent morsels of grilled salmon steak and feeding tiny boneless bits to
Grendl, who licked them from my hand, but when one fell into the grass, he
went so far as to bend down and sniff it, but didn't consume the tasty
piece. If I picked it *back up*, he would lick it from my hand! At the time,
I said to him, "Grendl, are you a food snob who won't eat off the grass?".
Had forgotten about it till I read this thread........
