Not Cat Food!

I have really neglected the "This is Not Cat Food" section of my blog. It isn't as though my cat, Sammy, has not been stealing food. He does it constantly. I guess I just haven't been posting it.

Well, this weekend he really made me mad.

background: We bought a fruit bowl and we put it on a very small island in our kitchen (I should have taken a picture of it). Anyway, there is very little room on this island when the bowl is on top of it. And to date the none of the cats had attempted to jump up there.

Well, this weekend my in-laws came over. My father-in-law is a farmer and he brought us a bag of his own tomatoes! Nothing better than fresh, home grown tomatoes.

So we dumped them all in the fruit bowl and began dreaming of tomato sandwiches and such.

Not ten minutes after the tomatoes were placed in the fruit bowl did Rebecca walk in on Sammy teetering on the ledge of the island, face down in the fruit bowl. His face was all red and juicy from his kill. I was so mad. He took at least one bite out of 7 tomatoes. I guess he was looking for the juiciest one. This is his kill:


I tried to take some close ups, but my camera phone doesn't do close ups very well:




That cat loves vegetables.

My Cat

My cat will eat just about anything. His name is Sammy and to date I have made the mistake of leaving out a loaf of bread, a banana, a tomato, a pot of peas, a pot of creamed corn, muffins, corn bread and chicken. All to his tummies delight!

Ok, I should have known better on the chicken. But a tomato?

So I've decided I'm going to start documenting his affronts. Hence will I photograph all trespasses of Sammy the cat into the vittles de mio.

So, THIS IS NOT CAT FOOD:


This was to be MY pumpkin pie. True, I made it with my daughter, but I knew she would not like it, and she didn't. And I was certain that I would be able to eat all of it. I will still eat most of it, but not the part beneath the cat chomp. Nor will I eat the area immediate around it. My last piece of pie will be a holey one.
