Default Just like when meowmie was working..

Boyfie has got used to having me at his beck and call especially when it's
"let me back in NOW" at the back door, since I've been at home.
Today, the temperatures have risen to 7c from minus 6, and the snow is
melting at last, so the boy ventured out for a while and was not back by the
time I needed to do a little bit of food shopping. I was only gone for an
hour but when he heard Mr F's engine he leapt my 5ft solid gate from the
back garden and came to greet me as I got out of the car.
This is what he used to do, he would always be waiting for me "on the front"
as I call it, even when he had access in and out of the house during the
summer, and I suspected he'd been reclining on his duvet, he would always
jump the gate before I arrived and be waiting on the front.

Well, he is a bit lucky today as when I went shopping I saw a new Whiskas
pouch promotion called "Bite and Chew" and I got him a box of twelve.
He can't have one tonight as I have something else planned for him so I'll
let you all know what he thinks of them soon.

I bought Smudgie a box of those yesterday too. Will be interesting so see
what her and Boyfie think of it, she is quite a fussy eater.

Do let me know I've seen the publicity which means they'll soon turn
up on special offer round here. Alas when I looked at the name I
thought "Cats don't chew"

They don't? It sure sounds like they're chewing when they're eating their
crunchy treats.

No, their teeth do a scissors-like motion that will shear meat off of a
bone, but they don't grind like an omnivore's or herbivore's do. The
crunch you hear is just the kibble being broken in two - but most of it
they just swallow whole.

This is what it says on the box
"Bite 'n chew is packed full of roughly chopped meaty pieces in a soft meaty
pate for maximum bite 'n chew satisfaction. We know that cats love to bite,
chew and lick their food, it is how they naturally enjoy it, so Whiskas
Tasty Textures is specifically designed with your cat's instincts in mind.
With this new eating experience your cat will be thoroughly satisfied."

He loves it. I forgot to watch him eat the first one to see if he did
indeed bite, chew, and lick it, but tonight he did lick the pate, and the
rest, being in smaller pieces than the regular pouches, went down in a
flash. I have renamed it "gobble and gulp" ;-)
I can get it in Senior so I'll probably keep him on it while it's 3 quid a
box of 12.

Yes, he is a darling. A little bit of gate-jumping won't hurt him after
lounging around during the winter. He always gets a bit "fluffy" when he
stays in a lot.
He's pretty good for nearly 10, he has to do it from nearly a standing start
from behind the house as the path turns sharply right so there's no run-up.
