I loved this! I have known the thrills and the spills of being entirely enthralled by my cats. Example: one of my cats, Bonnie, a finicky tortoiseshell, won’t eat her soft food unless I give her an appetizer first: 3 to 4 of her favorite cat treats. I try the usual harangue: “ there are starving kitties in China who would love this food” While she cooly ignores me, her brother Bruce is steadily plowing through his food like he’s certain it will be his last!
