food inspector
Sam has turned into the family food inspector. We've been feeding the
kitties on the kitchen table since Toby and Mac had to be put on diets. Their meager portions have both ravenous all day, and we couldn't keep them out of the cat's food unless we put it out of reach. Hence the food dish on the table. However, not everything has a difficult time reaching the cat's food dish. Grasshoppers, for example. The first I heard of this problem, I was sitting at the table reading "Lyndon, an Oral Biography" (when I saw the part about oral, I thought it was porn) and Sam was grazing in the food dish. Suddenly she sprang about three feet straight up, did the Wall of Death around the dining room, and took off for parts unknown. The food dish went flying across the room and landed upside down on the floor. With glad cries and hurriedly mumbled graces, Sam and Toby reverted to chow hound mode and jumped on the dish. Before I could get there they had flipped the bowl over and attacked the grub. Toby got the larger portion because Mac couldn't growl and snarl at me and eat at the same time. I honestly believe he would have attacked me if I'd tried to interfere. Among the debris I found a large, annoyed grasshopper spitting cat hair and mumbling what he was going to do to Sam if he ever caught her out again. He was still grumbling when I set him outside. Since then Samantha does not take a bite of anything without first poking it gingerly and inspecting it from all sides. Who knows, it might bite back. She even checked out my breakfast this morning. The whole affair has made her exceedingly jumpy; I mean, if a girl can't trust her food dish. . . She's as nervous as a cat, as they say. Cheers, Dave |
