I have not made a big deal out of this in the past but you know how somebody can do some little thing that in itself is quite small but when done over and over again... well, the straw that breaks the camel's back.
This household had steak last night, the way Persi likes it, rare. Thinking back on all the wild animal documentaries I have seen, this would make sense.
This is pretty much how last night went, as it has a hundred times before.
"C'mon Persi, we got steak tonight!"
(Persi appears on the arm of the couch, right next to me.)
"It's nice and rare, just the way you like it!"
(Persi stares at me.)
"OK, boy, let me cut that up into nice little pieces for you."
(Persi watches intently.)
"There you go, buddy boy!"
(Lack of response.)
"Oh, so you want me to...."
(Persi grabs piece of steak from hand and gobbles down.)
"OK, there's the rest of them, all cut up nice for you..."
(Persi sits on arm of couch, pretending not to be interested.)
At about this point in time I usually give in and just go ahead and feed him the remaining pieces by hand.
