Watermelon??

I couldn't believe it. Last night I grabbed a little container of
watermelon I bought and was eating it while watching TV. Pooh, my senior
old lady cat, came into the den (which she never does) and hopped up next to
me to beg. For watermelon?? I gave her a piece and she gobbled it right
up!! She had to have smelled it enough to come into the den to get some.
Maui and Oscar paid no mind to it.

I remember some of my childhood cats liked cantaloupe, but never
watermelon.MLB

Yesterday, Caliban eagerly licked and gnawed the rinds of some
cantaloupe that I'd just eaten.

My previous cat Tuffy couldn't get enough cantaloupe, but unfortunately it
gave him the runs. So he had to settle for a few licks only.

They can really surprise us sometimes, can't they? My cats have never shown
any interest in any food I had. However, Monday I attended a Passover Seder
at a friend's home. Since they know I like it, they gave me some haroset (a
divine mixture of apples, nuts and wine) to bring home. The first time I
put some on my morning mini-bagel, both cats went wild! I don't know
whether it was the apple, the nuts or the wine that attracted them, but I
had to fight them off.

Cats, like us, have their own individual tastes, I have always
thought. When I was
a kid, I had one who loved eating raw tomatoes.

When I was a kid, our cat loved to eat raw egg as a reward.
Back then we didn't know anything about bacteria like salmonella.

Yes, they do. I was talking with a dog person the other day. To give you
an idea of how much she knows about cats, she was very surprised to know
that they could be picky. ;-)

Sometimes I think we were better off then. I used to love eggnog, and so
did my kids. I made it the way my mother made it - with raw eggs, no
cooking involved.

My RB dog Snowball loved that and honeydew also, so I called her my
melon-collie baby. And she put up with it.

I think we *were* better off. Salmonella in raw eggs (and on raw chicken
skin) wasn't such a big problem when you (Joy) were a child. I don't know
how old you are, Winnie. I grew up in the 1960s, and while I didn't eat
raw eggs (because it seemed gross), I don't remember anyone saying it was
dangerous. Modern factory farming methods have made the problem a lot worse.
