breakfast of champions
my cat is what most would consider “overweight” although the vet states otherwise. she is a hefty 10.5 lbs furball and loves to eat ! for the past 2 years, i have been trying to come up with creative ideas to keep her in shape. i started by feeding her once a day which didn’t work very well at first. one night she actually dragged her porcelain food dish from the kitchen floor all the way to my bed where i was “trying” to sleep. a few weeks ago, i bought her “vegan” cat food. yes, somebody actually makes that stuff. as you probably guessed, she’s not happy with the new menu. she has actually boycotted the food. a friend of mine mocked that the “real” diet was feeding her something so bad that she simply wouldn’t eat. ha ha – i think.
it poured in south florida last night. i had to run from my car to my apartment and was literally drenched. i took off my clothes as soon as i walked in and dropped them in a pile by the front door. when i woke up this morning, i fed my cat who was anxiously waiting, maybe hoping the cat food fairies had magically switched her vegan food overnight. i put a scoop of the vegan food in her bowl which she ignored AGAIN. as i walked back to my room, i picked up the pile of (still very wet) clothes. suddenly, a tiny lizard which i must have brought in jumped off the clothes and onto the floor. as soon as my cat saw what had happened, she pounced on the lizard and devoured it in a split second. i stood amazed as kissy fit looked up at me as if saying “meat GOOD.” i think she’s trying to tell me something.
