Being handfed chicken tidbits again.... What a life!
*Oh, no....her kittehs aren't spoiled at AAAAAWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!*
*SNORT*
Says the one who chopped up the leftover Chicken parm for her 4 kittehs......but I know I sperl mine! They chomped it all right down.....all you heard was little 'NOMNOMNOMNOM" noises.
It could be worse, though. My late Grandma and Aunt on my mother's side used to actually cook fish and chicken specifically for their cats. When I was a child and stayed with Grandma, I remember her buying and cooking up smelt only for her cat. She'd also cook chicken, turkey, and other types of fish, only for the cat! My skinny little Aunt used to exist on Lean Cuisine dinners herself, but would buy and cook up fish, chicken, and turkey for her cat, which she herself would not eat!
So by comparison...my two don't seem too spoiled. They do have to eat what I'm eating, and in the very limited quantities I feel are best for them. I don't really think cats should be eating human food at all, but admit I can't take them staring at me with imploring eyes, so we've reached the "tidbit compromise."
Now on the other end of the spectrum was my late Grandma on my dad's side. She believed the only use for cats was out in the barn catching mice, and wouldn't have dreamed of even letting a cat in her house. One of my clients, who grew up on a farm, feels the same way about cats. When she asked me what my interests are, and I mentioned cats, she looked puzzled. She feels their proper place is in the barn, and doesn't understand why anyone would be interested in them, or why they'd even be allowed in the house, let alone doted on.
