Fredcat takes a particular delight in eating food. He is careful, however, not to eat food he doesn't like. Food he liked yesterday becomes today's so-so food, and tomorrow's nope, not interested, fodder. Gourmet cat When he was but a young cat Fredcat ate everything and anything. He would leap up and down and make a nuisance until the cat bowl had been filled with meat or biscuits, and away he went. With maturity, however, comes fastidiousness, intolerance and downright sniffiness. Fredcat has also learned to manipulate those around him to a remarkable degree as only a famous cat can; after all these are the rewards of celebrity. It all started with advertising. Better cat food this, better cat food that. Who wouldn't be tempted, even famous cats must munch. Little cat food tins became larger cat food tins, became monstrous sized cat food tins which then changed to tiny (but expensive) cat food tins. Fredcat was above all this commercialisation - after all what on earth were humans for but to provide the nourishment that famous cats desired? What is it that so attracts cats to the "wrong" type of foods? There is no definite answer to this, but Fredcat's slide into human foodstuffs started with tuna in tins. Tinned tuna smelled so much better than tinned "something" in "something juice" even if the latter tin had large pictures of contented moggies on the front with television advertisements proclaiming that eight out of nine cats preferred "this" to "that" grub. Then came Fredcat's discovery of real beef, the more expensive the better! Some fast food restaurants provide monster sized sandwiches with lots of fillings. If those fillings include beef then there is a fighting chance that the human consumer's hands might be bitten off if said human attempts to consume said sandwich without proffering some of the contents to Fredcat. There is a downside to huge filled sandwiches of this type. Fredcat has apparently made it known that beef as a filler is OK but the remainder of the filling - salad, dressing, pickles, etc. - are a Fredcat no-go area. Nor is it satisfactory to have your human scrape such fillings off the beef. Fredcat would have it made known that a cat's sense of smell is greatly advanced in comparison to that of humans, thank you very much, and he prefers his sandwich meat unsullied by another other flavours. So there. |
