February 1st, 2006 - Cats and sweets
I just heard AGAIN (this is probably the 3rd time in a month) that cats can’t taste sweetness. The gene for sweet reception is lacking in cats of all sizes.
Except my two little kitties! Shmi ADORES donut holes. Sith ADORES marshmallows (he even stole a Peep off the table right next to me last Easter!). Both ADORE fruit breads and Rice Krispie treats (but not plain Rice Krispies).
I have mutant cats. Not that I haven’t thought that before. Hmmm….maybe they’d be worth something now! (Not that we’d ever sell them, but if someone would like to pay Shmi’s medical bills, I wouldn’t mind. As long as she stayed with us!)
