Why my sugar bowl has a lid
So there I was, making a cup of coffee for me and for
hubby and he pointed out that the sugar bowl was empty. So I handed him the sugar bag to fill it. He did so and I continued pouring the coffee. Not TWO SECONDS after he'd filled the bowl a black and white streak hit the kitchen counter and before either of us could blink there was a paw IN the sugar bowl, digging. Yes, digging. So when you come to visit me, that's why my sugar bowl has a lid. -- Jette Goldie Apache and Dakota http://www.jette.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/kitties.html |

CATherine wrote in message . ..
I once read that cats don't really taste sweetness. But I don't think that is true. I think cats have as much variation for taste as humans do. Remember the many discussions on cats' preferences and strange tastes. I do know a mouthful of sugar gets the saliva flowing. Maybe it does in cats also. I remember a discussion a few months ago about the group's humans and their sense of taste. does your cat also like cake and candy and other sweet foods? CATherine Mike's never had much sweet stuff; one reason is because if I'm eating something sweet it's very likely chocolate. But the *one* time I let him lick a bit of coffee ice cream off my finger, he loved it. The sugar (I assume it was the sugar) made him soooo hyper, we haven't given him any since. ------ Krista |

"JP Hobbs" had some very interesting things to
say about Why my sugar bowl has a lid: Wilson likes a bit of Ice cream now and again.

Yes, digging.
So when you come to visit me, that's why my sugar bowl has a lid. When any of my three dig, it means they are looking to pee. Is your sugar bowl still dry or did it get dampened? ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove dependency on fame & fortune h*$el*$$e**nd***$o$ts***i*$*$m**m$$o*n**s@$*$a$$o* *l.c**$*$om$$ |
