I have a feeling that George thinks he is a human being. Next he is going to acquire a taste for Irish, Scotch whiskey, Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee whiskey!
My sister had an American Eskimo that had a species identity crisis! First of all she refused to eat any kind of dog food. She would stay by the dinner table begging for human food, completely ignoring her own dog food dish.
In addition to at least reasonable human food items such as meat of any kind including fish, some of the things she liked were just plain old crazy for a dog such as raw garlic, onions , leek, tomatoes, fruits. And of course any kind of sweets, chocolate and deserts. Best of all she had a taste for Glenfiddich !(you have to ask my crazy Scottish BIL how that happened)
She past away at ripe old age of 15! RIP Chochi !
I must say, George is possibly the most unintrusive (is that a word) cat that’s ever chosen to live here.
He really is patient until we are at the kitchen table when I put out his two pouches of wet food on a plate, before I put it down on the floor. He will reach up and pat at my hand, talking and telling me to hurry up.
His Predecessors had sat on my head, washed my face, sang songs from the landing, and a variety of signals.
Thank you Warren
oh my ! garlic, onions, leek all that family can easily kill a dog over time ! Chocolate, macadamia nuts, cooked bones are all "bad" as we all know.
Yet some dogs obviously don't read scientific journals at bedtime- maybe why Chochi lived to a ripe old age. Go figure !
Actually, I'm sitting here sipping some Whiskey and , typical of every few hours or so annually, a thought enters my head...
my money goes on the Glenfiddich .
People go mad if animals look at anything that’s been deemed unhealthy, dangerous, poisonous or harmful in a residential environment.
However, in a wild or abandoned setting, they will eat whatever will sustain their lives at that point.
I probably allow George 5ml of chocolate occasionally.
He would have a lot more if allowed.
Choices.
