We had a good laugh today at dinner. First dish was Gazpacho (a cold Spanish soup). I had got some delicious Italian croutons to put on top. As we sat there at the table, Fister was in the windowsill chilling out in the heat. I poured some croutons in my soup, and there's Fister - right on the table in front of my soup!! He thought is was his dry food. :rolleyes: I offered him one, but he didn't like them.
Then you hadn't roasted them in enough olive oil:D
I think the garlic taste may have put him off! :D
If it looks like kibble, and pours like kibble, it surly must be kibble!!! He probably wonders WHAT you did to HIS kibble!:D
MOFF! Yes, the sound was just like his dry food coming out of that bag. What a dissapointment for him. :eek: It was fun to see his fast reaction though. :D
If that had been Boots, da Kat;Quote:

he wouldn't have stopped "in front on my soup" ~
He'd have had one paw Dipped :eek: INto my soup,
*fishin* for a Byte!
:p ..
Nothing comes between a cat and his kibbles!
Hehe, they have that sound down pat. Ron always runs in when I open cans and I rarely feed him wet food!
How funny ... wish I could have seen the look on his poor face!!!:D
Michael,The Mild wont eat Crutons,but he will bat them ,back and forth,until he has placed it,where I cant help stepping,on it!OUCH!
:D What were you thinking, putting Fister's kibbles in your soup? :eek: They're not for humans! Did he take your pillow last night, since you had taken his kibble?
LOL!!! Poor Fister.
How funny! :D

Definitely :D
Haven't tried gazpacho on Mango yet. He'll eat Chicken Masala (with garlic, onion, cardamom, ginger, green chilis, lemon, nutmeg) and other very spicy foods so he might like it. Peaches likes escargot (in garlic) and a sweet white wine like a Gewürztraminer. Abys can be high maintenance...
LOL , scargots Ã_ la bourgignone, alsacian white wine....!Quote:

Would you mind if I join the abys for supper ? :p :D
They do the clean-up. No dish washing in this house! Peaches is a bit of a food thief, though. Any ungarded wineglass has her face in it and the escargot she stole (and ran off with it and gobbled it down!). She even will attack an unattended flavored martini... and got too much on one occasion. We are more careful around her these days although she really does have a wine preference!
:D
I have to keep a "close eye" on Boots, da Kat, when MY dinner
has been dished out!
He has a hankerin for ALL things cheese - and is NOT bashful about
trying to slip the CHEESE part of a cheese-burger out from under the bun! :mad:
And somewhere I just told "the Tail" about him *paw-dippin* into
a HUGE bowl of Mac 'n Cheese on the stove!
And watch the spagetti after you dust it with grated Cheese -
he's not fond of the sauce - but he's a Very Fast *Cheese LICKer*!! :rolleyes:
:DQuote:

Dish Warshers?
Got THREE - da KAT and his two Dawggie "assistants"!
"Unattended Martinis" ??
Reminds me of my High School years dog - Lady - a lil Pom/Mix...
My folks had company over for dinner -
and a guest had set his Martini down on the fireplace hearth...
And mentioned he didn't *think* he'd finished it off... ??
Half hour later everyone knew WHERE the "missing Martini" went -
When poor Lady started bumping in walls! :p
/s/ Phred .
ha ha!! Fister, you are too cute!! No croutons for you, huh? :)
Basie does the same thing, but oposite. He's my eating companion whenever I eat cereal because I give him a tiny bit of the milk when I'm done. Whenever he hears the sound of something going into a bowl, he's obsessive.
I can just imagine the look on his face!! Ally is a food thief with Biltong (South African food - a bit like beef Jerkey). She will try to snatch it between the bag and my mouth. Also if I drik Archers Peach Schnapps she hovers around and tries to lick my lips!! Need to keep an eye on this lot!! PARTEEEE KITTEEEES!!
What I don't understand is why the cats start salivating when they hear the can opener when I don't even GIVE them canned food :confused: Sometimes I fix them special soft food from the stove (chicken stuff or liver etc) but really! I open a can and they come running from all over.. I swear they can even be outside and I open a can and there's a cat, right in the kitchen window :eek: Well maybe I will give them the tuna fish juz out of a can but that's only occasionally.

*respond* to Can Openers ever since The Can was invented!
And giving Tuna Fish Juze out of a Tuna Can -
JUST ONE TIME -
permanently cements the Kat's relationship to
the Can Opener!
:D

Although I love cereal I rarely have it as keeping milk on hand is beyond my culinary abilities. But once in a while I'll get it all together....to Eddie eternal gratitude! He can here me open the box of cereal ...no matter how far away or how sound asleep.... and is on the table with his head in my bowl....waiting for the milk to be poured!
Filou and Siegmar share cereals and milk:D
Siegmar pours the milk and Filou sits on the table and puts his little paw in to lick the milk from the paw. It looks adorable:D
Filou also loves stuff like Chicken Masala and usually cleans out the pan in the kitchen while we are eating. He sometimes smells lightly like Garam Masala.
;)
Abys are convinced they are humans, this is why they like all that kind of food:)
Ally, a potential alcoholic!!! And Peaches too!! :eek: :eek:Quote:

Isn't that true!! :D When Pjevs in the yard hears me open a can, he'll be standing by the door downstairs immediately - so Laurie, I believe you! If I open other cans than cat food, I usually close the window, so he can't hear it - he would be so dissapointed. :(Quote:

Barbara, I can just picture Filou and Siegmar sharing their cereal. :) :D
This is the little Peach monster (little as in 6 pounds / 2.7 kg) in action:

I have to watch my tea, as Remus will guzzle a whole glass if you let him! Otherwise he is such a picky brat! He lothes fast food *and doesn't hesitate to tell me this when I bring it home :rolleyes:* he gives me this look like "Meowme, you aren't bringing home good food!"
When anyone cooks, he is right on the counter begging for scraps, especially if we are having anything with chicken or tuna in it. He seems to have a thing with pizza too...
Once, Remus tasted some of my beer. I thought for sure his glare would turn me into stone!
Randy: that's incredible! Up to now even Filou left my drinks ....
But what shall I say. We had Creme Brulee with Grand Marnier this weekend. And Filou loved it just as much as he would have loved plain Creme Brulee:D
Every 5 star restaurant should have an Aby taster who checks whether the food is good enough:D
This explains why my cat Samantha always comes running when she hears the can opener.Quote:

She gets very vocal and demands to know what is in whatever can we have just opened.
Lucky for her she got to enjoy some tuna juice today!:)
Barbara, Sallyanne's Juni is the official taste tester at Camp Vermont.
When I have visited up there, Juni always had her nose in whatever was put out on the table.:p
I've gotten accustomed to having a cat sitting beside the dinner plate purring loudly at me. We have a rule: no stealing food from the plate. Mango is a good boy but Peaches has to be watched as she younger and more impatient and she will grab and run. Mango waits his turn 'cause he knows there will be something for him.
And every can, box or bag of food has to be inspected when it's opened just to be sure it isn't something worth eating right now.
I suspect an Aby would do really well in a 5 star restaurant! At least so long as the patrons don't mind fang marks on their food, pieces missing, being crowded from their plates ("Here, let me eat that for you...") and the like.
'There's a mouse in my soup'
Heinz is considering legal action after a woman claimed she found a dead mouse inside a can of soup.
Therese Oulad, 49, claims the mouse was floating on top of her Cream of Tomato soup.
She told the Sun: "I almost threw up - it was horrific. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw this black creature standing up in my lunch."
The tin of soup was bought for her by a friend from a Safeway near her home in Northolt, West London.
But Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen said: "This is a completely unsubstantiated allegation and we are shocked that such a story was published without any investigation or validation by a government authority.
"If as expected the mouse was placed in the soup outside of Heinz's control, we will review our legal options."
Mr Mullen added: "It's virtually impossible for this incident to have occurred."
All soup cans were upside-down during processing and compressed air was blown in to clear any debris. The soup was sieved and the can immediately sealed.
He added: "We are confident once the product is examined it will turn out the animal was not present during processing."

If not croutons maybe some Cream of Vermin soup???
