Oliver’s New Bad Habit
June 11, 2010Posted by Kanga.
First, let me assert that I did not allow this to happen. I just grabbed the camera and took the pictures.
He isn’t doing this just because it’s cool. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) He is in search of curry leaves which are usually kept in that drawer. And, if he can’t get to curry leaves, maybe the spinach in the container above would do.
I’ve had cats with unusual food preferences before. Oliver thinks cat food is okay. Cooked meat, not so interesting. Raw chicken seems to be high on his list, however, and fish, which he can’t have for medical reasons. But, the biggies are bread and green leafy vegetables. I discovered this when I gave him a broccoli leaf thinking he would play with it and he gobbled it down. If we give him a slice of bread he tosses it around like it’s a mouse. He chews on it, too, and it is soon spread all over the floor. Messiest toy, but entertaining to watch. It is even better if he can steal something (remnants of being a street cat), so I discovered chili peppers all over the floor recently.
He keeps us on our toes and entertained.

our cats like pumpkin and cantaloupe. On the other hand, they have never gotten in the fridge! Funny Oliver..and the hot thingys? how did they react to those?
We keep six cats inside the house; and another five in the backyard (because our original set can’t stand them) — the point is I go crazy trying to figure out who wants to have what for breakfast/lunch/dinner 🙂
