The
List
My cat is strange and unusual. He is on medication for this. It is apparently not my fault, nor his fault, merely a common trait of the Breed. Tokenise are known for being prone to anxiety. They are also known for being quirky.
My darling Kitty has developed an unusual quirk for eating, and sometimes violently pursuing various foodstuffs that most cats wouldn't normally batt an eyelid at. He also has the ability to get into every kitchen bin I've ever owned. So I hereby present the list of things that my cat will eat.
Pringles
You can't pop the top of a tin of Pringles with out getting a face
full off purring pringle-thieving pussycat.
Jacket
Potatoes
He will actually steal these off your plate if you aren't paying too
much attention...
Corn on the
Cob
He actually stripped the cobs that were in the kitchen bin... and
probably would have gotten away with it un-noticed if the evidence hadn't been so glaringly
obvious sitting in his litter tray the next day.
Beetroot
Scared the crap out of me the first time I saw his face after he'd
pinched a couple of beetroot from some uneaten salad left in the kitchen. He was
all frothy and purple.
Green
Chicken Curry
I watched in fascination as he lapped the dregs of juice and cleaned
the take-away container clean... This stuff burns the back of my throat, turns
my face red, tears spring from my eyes, and my nose runs for a couple of
hours... All we could do is watch speechless as he licked every square inch.
Rice Crispy
M&Ms
I like to have a packet or two of these around the computer to chew
on while I'm playing... One day I noticed significantly less Ms than I'd shaken
out of the bag... And to think that all these months I was blaming the Boi.
Chai
He used to take a few token slurps of my coffee on his wanderings
past, but hasn't done that in ages... Then I added Chai to my repertoire. THAT
is quite nice, he decided... So I'd have to scruff him to get him out of my mug.
I solved this problem by adding copious amounts of cinnamon to the froth on the top for a little
while to break him out of it. The look he gave me the first time he took a slurp
was priceless - "Why the hell have you ruined perfectly good chai with all this
icky stuff on top?"
Coffee
Grounds
No idea what the hell he was thinking... But I had a very gritty kitty.
