Archive for ‘Things My Cats Eat’

Who can resist the cuteness that is a kitten? My mother is currently fostering 5 kittens for a volunteer feral cat charity and it's a real trip to watch them [ try to ] eat. If the pictures about to follow don't make you smile then maybe you need to stick your head back in the clouds for awhile. After viewing their eating ...

A couple of weeks ago I printed this recipe for black bean and sweet potato burritos and added it to my stack of must-try recipes. Last night came the opportunity to try out the recipe (in other words I remembered to soak some black beans the night before, at last). The result? Good. I added a little extra cumin ...

Over the years Duncan has sampled some increasingly odd samples of human food, things which have most definitely lead me to question his cat-hood. This time, however, he's gone over the top and it may be time he sees the inside walls of a padded cat box. What would other four-leggers say if only they knew? While I was unable to catch a picture of him in action, I ...

My Abel and Cole order came this morning and as I still can't get my head around the fact that Duncan likes to sample everything in sight, I carelessly left the box sitting out on the sofa. It turns out Duncan likes raw fennel, and here's proof: Last night I caught him as he took a bite of wood out of the corner of ...

When I received my first Abel and Cole delivery, the cat Duncan was naturally curious of its contents. "Eh," I thought, "raw vegetables. I'm safe leaving them on the counter." Wrong. Duncan, or so it seems, really likes asparagus. Way to go, nar-cat.

It's bad enough when you can't operate a tin opener, but chopsticks are completely out of the question. That is what I'm here for, apparently, to aid in feeding my cats bean sprouts with wooden sticks.

I suppose the fact that it's edible is the only pre-requisite. Scratch that. I don't think there are pre-requisites (I just caught Duncan eating lint).

No one believes me when I tell them one of my cats will eat citrus. This brings to my mind visions of my husband sitting on the sofa, sharing pomelo fruit with Duncan. The thing is, Duncan doesn't exactly like the fruit; he just realises it's food so he must have to eat it also. Paul's mum sends us home with cake from time to time, and if we're ...

I suppose I have less guilt to feel regarding the wasting of food when I accidentally forget it was in the oven. Here's Duncan enjoying something that I swear was once aubergine/eggplant:

The things my cats eat! Dillan enjoying a cavolo nero stem: You wouldn't think a cat would enjoy this sort of thing, but I often find my two gnawing on random vegetables I've dropped on the floor or which are sticking out of the side of the bin. They both get pretty territorial over kale stems in particular!
