Daisy and food

[dimity_blue]

I've always found it odd that Daisy doesn't really go for human food. If I have anything involving eggs, she might sniff or lick at them, and mayo garners a small interest, but otherwise no.

Today, I said I'd have some cereal bars instead of breakfast so I could make sure to have time for a shower. By the time Daisy came back in, I was back in bed, the carers had gone, and I'd eaten one bar. The other lay unwrapped on my bedside locker. (Carole unwrapped it as I can't undo most wrappers.) Daisy jumped up on the locker then started sniffing the air. A quick investigation (it was by her feet) revealed the cereal bar.

She was absolutely delighted and promptly set about enthusiastically licking it and nibbling at the edges.

Cooked chicken gets a "Meh!" while Alpen strawberry and yoghurt bar gets eyes closed in ecstasy followed by a very thorough face and ears wash.

Maybe it's down to her being a stray for 6months but it's decidedly odd.

LOL, I think the rule with cats and human food is that they have very individual tastes! We used to foster them and some wouldn't look, some ate bread, or cake, one went mad for sweetcorn, and another loved marmite toast! You'd think cereal bars really would be too dry, though, wouldn't you?

It had dried yoghurt on it so that was probably the attraction. Still, it was weird how nuts she went over it.

Cats are usually odd. 😁
