Abelard the Hellion
Abelard's whole character has gradually changed since the move. I'm not
complaining, I had wished he would play more with the other cats, but he just came tearing into the living room, dragging the remains of my bag of nutritional yeast, which I use as a vegetarian substitute for parmesan cheese. It's a flaky yellow substance that tastes good and is full of B vitamins. Main problem with this stuff is the cats love it and I've learned from experience that it must therefore be kept well sealed. I had just bought a supply and it was still in the plastic bag, and I wasn't able to find it last night when I had spaghetti, but as of now, about 80% of it is on the floor in a wide strip about 12 feet long, and Abelard is positively gloating over his victory. That yeast will stay on the floor until the cats clean it up. Shouldn't take them more than an hour or so, but what a mess.... Thanks, Abelard, for finding the yeast, but I wish there was a little more of it left for me! |

Cats like yeast, it is sometimes added to food by the manufacturers here to make it more palatable and is sold as an expensive "sprinkle on" supplement for cats in powder form. If you want to give it to your cats, go to a chemist and buy Brewers Yeast Tablets, they are reasonably cheap and you can crush them up yourself, it's exactly the same. Kitty FC has them occasionally and likes them, they make her zoom. Tweed |

The yeast I am talking about is not the same as brewer's yeast. The color, taste and texture are completely different. |

Brewers Yeast tablets work well. Gives KFC zoomies. Tweed |

What "works well" for me as a substitute for parmesan cheese, is Nutritional Yeast, which is, VERY DIFFERENT than brewer's yeast in color, taste and texture. I cannot STAND the taste of brewer's yeast!! |

I sprinkle it on their food as a treat sometimes, too. |
