Describe one positive change you have made in your life

The fancy place from where we buy our Michelin-starred hot-smoked salmon, has just started selling fish offcuts for pets. And, unbelievably, it was Cat Daddy’s suggestion that we buy some for Louis Catorze.

Cat Daddy probably didn’t read the “favourite pet” bit.

When it arrived, we were astounded at its quality: no skin, no bones, very little gross sinew, just lovely fish, almost too good for a little sod like Catorze. I’m pretty sure we’ve served far inferior fish to dinner guests at least once or twice (sorry if you were one of them). 

Anyway, Catorze now has a whole selection of little portions in the freezer, ready to be sniffed and rejected deployed the next time he’s good and deserves a treat. 

We’d better take a seat, because we could be in for a long wait. 

*EDIT: after screaming and screaming for his fresh fish, he ate three mouthfuls and walked away.

Absolute bastard cat.

    Purina makes a special cat food item (I forget the name and I haven’t bought any since it disappeared during the pandemic) that had exquisite little shrimps in it. I was tempted to spread it on crackers myself.

      There’s a lot of pet food which looks good enough for humans to eat!

    Here in the States, there have been several recalls of raw food for pets. Not fish thought that I recall. I haven’t found a source that regularly reports on that issue. But I am still looking, just in case.

      Oh, what’s the reason for the recall, usually?

        bacterial contamination I think.

          Even though pets eat roadkill? And other animals’ poo?

    Eating three mouthfuls is better than eating nothing especially when we know that the three mouthfuls hadn’t been stolen in your owe plate 🐟🐟🐟.

      I bet if the fish had been on my plate, he’d have eaten the lot.

        Perhaps only on condition of pretending to eat them.

    Try pretending that it came from your plate and you are eating it,then refuse his first cries, along with an emphatic “NO!” 🙀 It does look good enough to be human grade, though.🙂

      Pretty sure if I’d put it on the worktop and left the room, he’d have scoffed the lot.

    That’s a great idea. Less waste. Louis knows that Cat Daddy loves him. 🙂

    If you have one pet, does that make him your favorite by default?

      Cat Daddy says not. In fact, he wouldn’t even come second.

        Usually they won’t eat fish but occasionally we can get them to eat a little tuna.

  8. […] watched Catorze attempt to eat his Pet Picks fish, I actually don’t think his rejection is wholly because he’s a massive arse. Well, that is part […]
