<SNIP> Watching The World Series with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Dunno why it is, but whenever I eat a salad, she sits there and watches every move I make while I'm eating it. Silly cat!
- It might be horrified disbelief: some cats have very narrow views on what cats should eat, and regard us as honorary felines in need of some re-education; on the other hand, I recall an occasion when my mother was preparing a lunch for the local Women's Institute: she made a large salad in a bowl and set it on the dining-room table, then went back to the kitchen to finish cutting sanwiches or whatever, leaving the cat alone with the salad - no risk, you'd have thought. The doorbell rang, as a WI member or two arrived a little early. Mother ushered them into the dining room. The cat (another ginger, what else?) was on the table, pawing slices of cucumber out of the bowl and eating them.
