Lily spends a good portion of her waking hours (at least when we're around) trying to get food. This includes her own kitty food, of course, but also EVERYTHING we're eating...almost without exception. It's a constant battle to keep her away from people food, especially snacks. And obviously I'm not always successful.
Her new object of desire: Flamin' Hot White Cheddar Popcorn. Spouse bought himself a bag this week and she became completely obsessed with it.
FLAMIN' HOT.
What kind of cat wants anything Flamin' Hot?
I said NO right away to everything Flamin' Hot.
Nevertheless, she persisted. 😉
She sat by his feet, hoping he'd accidentally drop a piece. He didn't.
She angled herself around the chair, plotting to sneak up behind him. He didn't fall for that trick either.
Early the next morning, I found her sniffing under the chair where, using her super-powerful Snack Detector, she discovered the TINIEST MORSEL of Flamin' Hot Popcorn. Before I could catch her, into the hopper it went! Fortunately, she seemed no worse for the wear for having digested this spicy tidbit.
Still, Lily is not going to have ANY MORE Flamin' Hot Popcorn. The bag is empty and gone from the house. I'm glad, because out of sight is out of mind...until next time!
