Boyfie made a mistake
I made a chilli-con-carne tonight and I like it very hot. I heard him
licking the pan I made it in, still on the cooker top before I washed it. As he knows very well he is not supposed to do this, I let him do it for a few minutes. He jumped down the very second he heard me get up from my chair. Too late.. he was licking his lips for a couple of hours :-) Tweed |

Too late.. he was licking his lips for a couple of hours :-) Tweed Yep, that was a mistake! I like (moderately, not searing) hot/spicy food, especially chili con carne. Well, perhaps Boyfie learned a lesson since he knows he's not supposed to get up there. Burning lips might just convince him... hey, this isn't shrimpies! LOL I don't know why, but Persia has *never* shown any interest in jumping up on anything in the kitchen. (Lots of people insist she must have done when I wasn't home, but I truly don't think so.) She doesn't jump up on tables, either. Just my bed (now she uses pet-steps), her bed (the guest bedroom) and the couch in the den when I'm there reading a book. If I'm sitting at the computer in the living room Persia *occasionally* gets on the sofa. Or on one of the wing-back chairs. Only IF the sun is shining in that spot. It's comfy, and she knows I don't mind. Here's an amusing memory: When I first brought Persia here my mom insisted I cover the sofa with sheets. (For some reason she had a plethora of sheets - and pillow cases.) I asked her why. She said she didn't want Persia "staining" the sofa. Uh, what? I presume she was talking about shedding. I really don't know. I joked, "Mom, she's not wearing cheap hair dye!" (Yes, I did drape sheets over the sofa.) Jill |

In fact, although I enjoy hot food, I try to be moderate about it because "I may like it, but it doesn't like me." -- Joyce If you can't operate your turn signal, what makes you think you can drive the rest of the car? -- bumper sticker |

Unfortunately, because the burning lips didn't happen immediately, he probably isn't connecting that sensation with licking the pan. So I doubt he's learned his lesson. -- Joyce If you can't operate your turn signal, what makes you think you can drive the rest of the car? -- bumper sticker |

No, like you say, it doesn't happen immediately so no lesson will be learnt. Don't call him "poor Boyfie" it serves him right. He knows (somehow) that he must not get up on the worktops and stove-top, and immediately jumps down if he hears me coming, I hear him jump back to the floor. "Who me? On the worktops stealing? Not me.." His chilli lips gave him away ;-) Tweed |

Hugs and Purrs, Mark How did you know he liked it so it became a treat? I guess through him stealing it in the first place. I'm not sure whether or not Boyfie liked his chilli experience. It's not done him any harm (apart from hot lips & tongue) there was only a tiny bit of sauce left in the pan. But it was extremely hot. I live near the curry capital of the world (so it is said) so I am used to eating very hot stuff. I don't do Korma, I do Vindaloo. He hasn't licked my curry pan yet.. Tweed |
