Eeww! What's that smell?
Just now, Caliban was sleeping on the cat tree. I was sitting beneath
him. Decided to eat an orange. I started peeling it and heard a faint 'snork' from above. Then I felt two holes burning into me. Looked up, and Caliban was sitting on his perch, looking all sleepy and tousled, and looking at me with a look of deepest disgust and reproach in his eyes. It seems I woke him up with the horrific assault of the smell of oranges. I think this is the only food I've discovered that he dislikes. (Mir-Mir doesn't mind them.) (Bet you didn't think this post was going to be about oranges. :P) -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

We've never had a cat that liked the smell of 1) bananas, 2) oranges, or 3)
any kind of mint. It's priceless watching their faces wrinkle up in disgust! David |

I guess yours weren't 'nip heads, were they? I've read that in general, cats don't like citrus smells or flavors. Of course, if there's a generality that cats don't like citrus, that just means that there *are* cats who love citrus, right? Maybe there should be a special sub-discipline of symbolic logic, dealing specifically with cats, such that: All cats do X Y is a cat Therefore, Y *never* does X .... would be perfectly logical. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |
