I couldn't help but notice that my parents had recently bought three cases of my favorite food. You know it was on sale and Her Cheapness was beside herself in the store when she noticed it. I'm sure calculations were flying fast and loose between them when they calculated a .30 cent per can savings.
At first I was pretty excited to see them all lined up too. No worries I'd run out of gravy any time soon, that's for sure. That's when I started to realize it also meant there would be no variety coming my way either. Beef and Chicken with gravy is delish, but what about beef or chicken alone, or duck? Day after day without any variety?
I think not. So I refused my regular fare and cried out at the injustice. Mom forced Dad to return and try some new flavors. Victory is mine! I can't help but snicker a little when I look at those forsaken trays of my regular fare. Sure eventually I'll eat them too, but I think my point has been made friends.
Life is unpredictable, and you should be too.
Khats!

MOL! Fin, you are PAWSOME! Your lessons on how to keep the 'rents in line are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh Fin you do keep everyone on their toes!!!
ReplyDeleteI like pulling the switcheroo on my human - I'll like one flavor and hate another... and then I'll decide I don't like that flavor either and prefer something else altogether! It keeps her on her toes!
ReplyDeleteFin, you never fail to make us laugh!!! You are so very right about watching what our pawrents do.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to wonder what is going to happen next!!! Lots of love! Holly and mom
When I get bored with the same flavors, I pretend to bury it...like yesterdays litter!
ReplyDeleteGets mom every time...
I see...
ReplyDeleteFin, you are the boss !!!!
Hahahaha! We do the same thing, Fin, which frustrates our mom to no end. Of course that's the idea! Now she just feeds what we don't want to the neighbour's cat...which might be why he's taken up residence on our step and won't go into his house next door.
ReplyDeleteWe understand completely. We mess dad abowt weekly ... erm ... I mean we go off stuff .. and he hast keep trying different varieties of food on us. MOL!
ReplyDeleteFinny, you are my hero.
ReplyDeleteYou're a perfect cat, Fin! We think it is best not to let humans get too comfortable. Creatures of habit, we think not!
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration to us all, Fin :)
ReplyDeleteJust tell your mom and dad that a rotation diet is healthy!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Fin! A kitty should always get their way!
ReplyDeleteMy mom has to by me the wet food I love best, FF chicken hearts and livers. BUT, while I spurn everything else..occasionally I spurn that too and that's when she brings out the FF chicken or Friskies chicken dinner occasionally. Mommy always thinks it;s fun to see all the other cat mom's and dad's in the cat food aisle pondering which to get.
ReplyDeleteWhenever Mom think she has worked out my absolute favorite food, I show her that it isn't any more. I also vacillate between whether I like pate style more than gravy style, or refuse to eat pate style. Can't let them think they have us worked out Fin.
ReplyDeleteFin - we've learned to watch the food cupboard too - we hate mum to get too complacent!! We always try to get her on the wrong foot and we usually do.
ReplyDeleteLucy is going to the v-e-t again this afternoon - why when we go is there one cat, one rabbit and 973 dogs all barking!!
MOL! Fin we cdon't blame you! Variety is the spice of life
ReplyDeleteFin, you are SO lucky! We can't afford to be picky. Or some other Cat eats our share! HMPH.
ReplyDeleteSo that is where we got the idea of refusing food because we wanted a different flavor. Thanks so much Fin. Our assistant gets really confused when we refuse to eat the food we normally like a lot. Take care.
ReplyDeleteBravo, Fin!! Never let them forget who's the boss.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best Fin!! Such fine pearls of wisdom you share with us. Please keep em coming!

Your little tale today sounds like what we "have to put up with from 'The Boys'".
ReplyDeleteSome days, it seems like all I do is open cans of cat food trying to figure out who wants what food.
I figure if I can get at least half (2) of them eating one flavor for one meal at the same time, I've done good!
You go on with your bad self, Fin!
That's the ticket Finny!

Wow, it's lucky to be you day for sure. You will not run out of yummies for a long time.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever Fin!
ReplyDeleteFinny, this is SS. I am not allowing Momo to read this because I have also bought 3 boxes of food for her. There is no exchange on specials.
ReplyDeleteYou are masterful in your manipulations of your parents, Fin. Bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteWe must have a pantry full of variety at all time around here.
Variety is the spice of life... you tell em, Fin!!!
