At the vet

l took Rhys to the vet today for his rabies shot, and to deliver one of his evil stool samples.

Just as last time, the vet offered him one of those synthetic-meat treats, and once again turned his nose up at it.

l'm so proud  .

lt's like when you take your child to a birthday party, and they're the one saying, "Ooh, yummy fruit".

lt's probably a juvenile response, but l do get perverse pleasure out of my kitty not recognizing the treat as food.

PS/ Not that he needs it - he's gained 2.2lbs since mid August 

Well, treats aren't supposed to be nutritious, you know!

But I get what you mean. When I grew up I got a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and because my mom's a terrible cook they were always the best thing in the house... so as an adult, I love both fruits and vegetables, vergetables more so. Didn't stop me from getting really chubby, but hey, you can't have everything. (And yeah, you can totally gain weight on a healthy diet. I blame all that whole-wheat bread, goat's milk, granola, nuts, and real cream for the coffee...)

Is Rhys a skinny cat usually, and the weight gain a good thing? Or just a kitty getting the usual middle-aged weight gain?

Mnmn, now l'm drooling, l haven't had real cream in my coffee for so long, and l love it.

My grandmother could cook and bake anything, she was just fantastic in the kitchen. l'd love to go to her house just for the food, lol. And her Yorkshire Puddings are second to none. l love all vegetables too, not so much the fruits. Unless you count Terry's Chocolate Orange 

Rhys is just a kitten, and he's started packing on the weight since he came here. He loooooves his food - raw, canned, any kinds. He will not eat treats or kibbles, so that's good.

 My Ninotchka doesn't like treats either, so when Nicolai gets his, we give Nina a little bit of kibble (Iams).
