I have to be careful with burgers because my garbage cat rescue will actively try and steal them after sniff inspecting.
Is probably, secretly, a highly rated critic in the Paw Gazette…
I let my Willow sniff-test a lot of my food. usually I know he wouldn’t find interest in it, but I did lose a few shrimp to him one time
that’s a turkish van! I have his twin :D
a turkish van
Excuse me, but how do the turks fit cargo in these?
Like they do humans, I imagine.
And then the turkeys make the car go.
I did this for my one cat until he proceeded to sneeze on my food. Little shit.
My cat smells what i take out of the fridge, just in case it is chicken.
She also likes to have breakfast with me, and asks for some milk or cottage (this is a day each 2 weeks)
There are 2 cats inside of my home:
- One of them smells and then steals my food
- The other one smells and then looks disgusted at my food
I have the same 2 cats!
This is the stealing one:
and that is the disgusted one:
I have to add that the disgusted one for the first time in her life actually accepted an offering of a nice slice of ham a few days ago, so she might be changing her opinion slightly.
My cat does this when I’m drinking tea and his response is some mix of disgust and concern.
This was the case with my cat for a while, until I let her have a sniff of my pulled pork sandwich, and she took a big bite and ran off.
She can have some pulled pork, as a treat
good cat
I love it when a plan comes together!
Inspector Han: PRESENT PLATE! Looks up, are you really going to eat that? Slow walk away with disgusted tail twitch. Inspector Chewbacca: Oh, heya mum. Watcha gots der? Sniff sniffy sniff wuffle. Meh. Sits beside me with his paw on my lap. Pointedly not looking at my plate. Side eyeing every bite. Doesn’t look disgusted, but makes it clear he’s making sure it doesn’t kill me. Their food: royal canin duck and pea. Chicken allergies in Han. Me: beans, lentils, rice and whatever veg is in the clearance sections. I miss dairy. Their food smells delicious. At least I love beans lol.
Mine used to be like this, but now prefers WARM chicken. 🙄
As is their right, peasant!
I had a dog that I tricked into eating a tomato once. He wasn’t pleased, but after that he stopped begging. He would come up and ask to smell and see my food. If he wanted something he would let me know and I would get him some. If he didn’t he just moved along, disappointed, but we had an understanding.
We tried that with pickles, but it turns out they’re like crack to the little fucker.
My sister’s dog loved tomatoes. I was picking cherry potatoes in my dad’s garden and would toss them to the dog. He gobbled them up.
It’s even worse when the cat is being really pushy in the morning and demands additional tribute, so I let her sniff my coffee. That face of disgust remains funny.
My sister’s cat is the exact same way. They dub it the sniff tax.
