I wwent today to visit the grandcats, and like a good Grandmeowmie, I took
treats in my purse. Those new natural, no-preservatives, dehydrated anchovies,
to be exact. This cat is so spoiled it is absolutely undescribable. He went
nuts sniffing as I was opening the packages, then I tossed one on the floor to
him. He look at me. Jamie picked it up, and held it while he daintily sniffed
and picked at it. I go "Wazza matter? Doesn't he like it?" She said,
"Orion doesn't eat treats off the floor."
Geez. I shoulda known.




Our cats hated the anchovy snacks. Food dropped on the floor is waste,
and, unless kicked out by themselves, to be ignored. Ours insist upon,
and receive their snacks on a plate.

Sammy is too spoiled for a plate of people food. If I let her she'll
reach over and pick something off my plate to taste, but even when she
looks like she likes it won't eat if I get her her own plate. As far
as people food, she'll eat anything, except fruit, that I offer from
my plate (potatoe, carrots, even spinach) as long as it's a small bite
and I hold it for her, but nothing else. Her favorite seems to be
roast chicken - she'll eat all I offer. But even chicken is ignored if
put on her own plate - but not wasted as Little Bit will clean the
plate. They rarely eat people food, though, and Sammy is kept out of
the kitchen when I cook, as she wants to be up on the counter helping,
and I'm always afraid of her stepping on the stove.
