    “Accidentally”

    You’re a monster.

    You know you could have given them a little taste without harm, even though it has more salt than their food.

      Sekhmet seems more appropriate, though depicted with a lion’s head not a housecat’s.

      Sekhmet acted as the vengeful manifestation of Ra’s power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues. (Wikipedia)

      She would sort that shit out.

    I remember eating a can of tuna in front of my cat, she stood on her hind legs and emitted the slowest plaintive meow ever. She must have win awards for best begging kitty ever.

    So I’m a total pet-drug-pusher. I had a cat who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half) so I gave her a milliliter a day. My dog today needs peanut-butter like it’s the ambrosia of the gods. It’s a small treat every once in a while.

    Out of respect for your friends of fur, allowing them a small dose might enhance their enjoyment of life a bit, especially since we are social beings who enjoy sharing a meal with each other. And unlike half-and-half, cats can actually digest tuna.

      My cats are dum though. I’ll crack open a can of tomatoes and they freak out thinking it’s dinner time. I let them sniff it, but then they look confused.

      Same when I’m getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.

        Oh, man. The amount of times I’d exasperatedly repeat to my cat “it’s beans!” or someone similar and let them smell the can I’m opening. I know you know this doesn’t smell like tuna, you fuzzy idiot…

        Can relate. All my cats think my pill bottles are the same as the treat shaker. I always end up giving them a treat afterwards because I feel bad.

      who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half)

      Doesn’t compute, what does this mean?

        “Jones” is an American slang word meaning to be addicted to something, so “jonesing” for something means to crave something very strongly, and generally very vocally.

        “Breve” is a coffee drink that is commonly made with half-and-half, which is a product that is equal parts cream and milk. I assume that people have taken to using the term to refer to half-and-half itself, but I’ve not personally heard that.

        So the sentence is saying that their cat was addicted to half-and-half and would act like a junkie doing anything to get their next fix.

          Thanks! Learned something.

          But seriously, half is cream? At least make it whipped cream, what a waste.

    I used to have a cat that generally wouldn’t beg for food unless I made something with tuna. Even then he wouldn’t beg while I was making it but I would find him sitting on my desk in the other room (where I ate) waiting for me when I got there like “hey whats that”.

        That’s ridiculous. Fish have haptic neurons. The ability to feel through the sense of touch is integral to kinesthetic activities like swimming, eating, and sexing.
