Feeding Julian

[redbird]

We had take-out sushi (mostly eel-and-cucumber rolls) for supper tonight, because I couldn't stand the heat in the kitchen, and cattitude walked his feet off at the Bronx Zoo. Now, we indulge cats--so Julian gets a bit of whatever we're eating.

He likes eel. No surprise there. He likes shrimp. (Artemis didn't like sushi shrimp, only shrimp I cooked; Julian is more accepting omnivorous. Then Cattitude dropped a bit of sushi. Julian likes sushi rice, and seaweed--at least if they've been next to eel.

But that's no excuse for handing the boy wasabi.

He accepted it, then did a very impressive back up/doubletake/headshake. Cattitude giggled while admitting that he's evil, and I sent him to get Julian a bowl of milk, which seemed to help.

A similar thing happened with our dog Chela once. We had microwave buffalo wings - there was spicy hot oil left on the plate. Chela licked the oil 3 or 4 times, then started licking the floor. And then she repeated the sequence - over and over and over until the oil was all gone!
