Foods We Don't Eat


Us, fussy? We'd be kicked out of Kittydom if we didn't snub our food now and then. We gave Mom and Dad the impression we weren't picky eaters when we were young - and hungry, I might add. Had to eat to grow, ya know. But after years of the same old stuff we finally said "Enough!" We insisted on the expensive little bitty cans of Fancy Feast (Grilled Turkey only). This set Mom and Dad back quite a bit, but hey, we're worth it. It was especially expensive when we ran out mid week and Dad would have to buy it at the grocery store up here on the mountain. They overcharge for everything so why should our food be the exception? We ate that for what seemed like ages and then decided to go back to the cheap Friskies stuff just to give them a break. We also have two different kinds of dry food we sometimes eat when we're snubbing our canned food. But our favorite foods are Bumble Bee Tuna (sometimes cheaper to buy then cat food) and thinly sliced deli turkey. Yummy. We do know what's good.

Drinking water is another matter. We love our water and know how good it is for us. Right from the start we insisted on having a faucet left on for us to drink from. You could often find one of us curled up in the bathroom sink, on the off chance someone would come in and turn on that faucet. This habit was frowned upon once Dad remodeled the bathroom. Dang! Finally a friend gave Mom a small drinking fountain that recycled the water in the bowl and sent it out a spout. This was fabulous! We had constantly running water to drink and wash our toes in! Only problem was, they quit working after about six months. So after going through at least three of them, our parents decided to bite the bullet and buy us the expensive Drinkwell Fountain. This one works great too and we always have water at our fingertips. We call it our water "fountain of youth". I'm sure it's what's keeping us so young looking. Neither one of us has a wrinkle in evidence. Thanks Mom and Dad!
