I had a cat that was greedy for anything I happened to be eating. Once
while eating some raw cucumber I saw the cat licking its chops and broke
off a piece of cucumber for it. It took a sniff and gave me the most
obvious "You've got to be kidding!" expression before it trotted off.


I expected to get that look when Miranda was showing interest in some
raw carrot sticks that I was eating, and I gave her one to sniff. But
no, she licked at it a long time. Couldn't figure out how to eat it,
though. ;o)


Stinky loves the smell of carrots. Like a lot of herbs and veggies,
it seems to make him slightly stoned.

I thought cats weren't supposed to like mint. Otis once used a Polo as
a football but spat it out and dribbled in disgust when he picked it up
in his mouth and he always screws his face up if I eat a mint.

Oh, Stinky loves it, but he loves all kinds of herby scents. When he
was a kitten, he used to sit on the sink while I brushed my teeth, and
gargled, and used to follow me to bed afterwards. Then he would try
to pry my mouth open with his paws to get at the minty scent. He
doesn't pry my mouth open anymore, but he loves to meatloaf on me,
right in my face, after I've done my teeth.

Pearl wants to drink some of my peppermint tea! Is peppermint tea ok for cats?

I used to have a cat, Geesha, who didn't care much for catnip, but
loved spearmint instead! It never hurt her. Catnip is in the same
family and peppermint and spearmint, and the mint family is pretty
benign in general.

Pearl always wants to smell everything, but some spices make her gag. She
will come sniff my food, gag, and then come back to sniff more! Silly
creature.

I had once made myself a nice potato-mushroom soup with lots of dill,
and he sat there beside the bowl while I was eating it, inhaling the
vapors. He put his face closer and closer to the bowl, and started to
sway a little bit. He got his whiskers wet! I made him get down
because I didn't want him falling into the hot soup.

Is there a recipe for that soup?

Let me check. It's been a long time since I made it.

Speaking of recipes, I want a recipe for that banana pudding with the
Nilla wafers and so forth!
