Get Down! No just kidding, you can eat that.

Fisher has recently taken a liking to people food.  I realize that it is a bad habit to give animals people food.  I typically don't make it a habit of giving other peoples pets people food, or wild animals either.  But Fisher is small, and when he becomes annoying, it is easy to lock him in a room.  It is also interesting to see the different things that he will eat versus what he won't.  For instance, he loves chips (especially tortilla), but he doesn't really like beer (import or domestic).    


Not surprisingly, he likes meats and cheeses.  But, he also likes broccali, salted nuts, bread pudding.  I never would have thought he would eat bread pudding, which is why I didn't think twice about leaving a piece out one morning when I went to take a shower.
I was pissed about this one, and after I put the camera away I gave him a beating he didn't soon forget.  I swear, that Gatorade was almost full too!

Gina isn't very happy about all the people food I give the cat.  She says it isn't good for him.  She told me once, "Do you want him to have a heart attack?".  After I got done laughing, I told her "No, cats can't have heart attacks silly."  But, I don't want him to live forever either.  My mom has a cat, Orbit, who is going to be 22 years old in September.  That is too old for a cat that has never had a run in with John Coffey.
Orbit is deaf, near blind, and I have no doubt it will live another 2-5 years.  That is why I am going to try and feed Fisher foods that will allow him to live 8-12 years, a fine life span for a cat.

  1. Dwayne enjoys tomato sauce, hummus & refried beans. I know this not because I've fed it to him, but because like your bread pudding I thought it would be safe if left unattended.
