Crackers.....

That is the funniest thing you have *ever* posted, Western Girl! Would it
make you feel better to know a dark secret from Hopitus? I tasted those
"Bacons" strips we used to buy for the RB Akita, who adored them........and
was not stricken with the urge to keep them all for myself! They did look
like bacon......but the smell of cat treats does not appeal to this hoomin.

LOL, Sherry! My niece, now 14 yo, habitually snacks on the cats' kibble. I
couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw her do it. She says they're yummy,
and wants me to try them. No thanks!

That is so funny - my son RB used to feed his youger sister d*g biscuits
when they were small - the girl grew to be the tallest member of the family
and I am convinced it was her diet of d*g biscuits that bought that about!!
I have never been tempted to try the cat food even when it does look very
appealing1

Oh dear, I need a new keyboard - oh, and a new seat, I just pee'd myself
laughing, so this one has to be thrown out ;-)

One thing about cat food: WHY is it that the stuff that smells the
most horrible to the human is the most appealing to the cat?

Dunno 'bout that, both Waffles and I will fight over who gets the most tuna ;-)

No, but you reminded me of the time my mother (about 75 at the time)
decided to eat a milk bone "because the ingredients sounded good".

According to my mother, I was known to munch the occasional MilkBone
[d*g treat] as a toddler. AFAICT, it didn't hurt me any.

As a teenager, I had a cat whose favorite time to curl up in my lap
was just after he had eaten a batch of Puss'n'Boots tuna-flavor wet
food. This was the only brand, and only flavor, he was willing to
eat. He would curl up in lap and breath tuna fumes in my direction.
I enjoyed stroking him, but sometimes wished for a gas mask.
