Fancy Feast

Miss Ellie has a new favorite food. She goes absolutely mad for it and will cry (scream, really) if you stand between her and a plate of it. I thought she was a carbs girl since her previous favorite foods were Cheerios and pasta, but it turns out that she's more of a meat-eater than we thought (and than our experience at Thanksgiving led us to believe). So what is this delicious new food? Cat food! Not the dry stuff that might be confused with meaty Cheerios, but the disgusting wet stuff! She managed to get a big piece of it in her mouth yesterday and was VERY irritated when I fished it out. Then, she spent the rest of the day desperately trying to get into the kitchen to finish it off. It smells absolutely awful and even though I promptly washed her mouth/face, she still smelled like it for a couple of hours. It was the first time that neither Damian nor I wanted to kiss her. Bluck! So much for her all natural, organic diet!

That's just disgusting! Canned cat food is almost enough to stop me from eating salmon (they smell WAY too close to the same!) but this is what happens when a natural carnivore doesn't get a little meat in her diet. Or more accurately, an OMNIvore! ;-)
