More
than six years ago, I wrote in this blog about Tungsten’s liking of ice cream,
and how she appeared to have distracted me one time in order to lick some from
my bowl. These days, it is Tucker who enjoys a taste of the dairy product.
Tucker
isn’t devious; he is obvious. He has a certain cry that he emits only when he
wants something that I am eating. He doesn’t make much of a sound when he is
hungry in general, or when I am preparing his own food. Cat-food is not,
apparently, exotic enough for comment. But when the ice cream comes out, it’s a
different matter.
And
it’s a different matter at the exact moment the ice cream is removed from the
freezer compartment of the refrigerator. The roly poly one knows its container,
and he starts crying as soon as he spies it. He is insistent.
I
don’t eat ice cream often myself. I usually treat myself to it during my
holidays, and I am finishing the remains of that treat. But there is always
enough to leave a little pool of it in the bottom of the bowl, an amount that
will hardly do a cat harm. And, if I work hard at it, I can persuade myself
that Tucker is actually asking for some politely.
Good on you Mr Tucker. It made us smile to think of you both enjoying a small treat together.
ReplyDeleteWell done Tucker on recognising the ice cream container. Of course Tucker is asking politely. He knows that is the way to get his treat.
ReplyDeleteAh! Bless! The first pussy~cat l had, when
ReplyDeletereturning to this country in 73..was Darlinga!
Back then we'd sit in the front room in front
the TV, and eat, off of our trays, so Darlinga
used to check out the plates on the trays, and
want to join in..Always fun and games if we had
spaghetti..she would get it ALL over the place,
mostly on her face and fur..! Bless! :).
Recently l get Fudge..pussy~cat who lives couple
doors away, who enjoys a saucer of milk, but if
l'm eating lunch say, he pokes his nose in, lovely
photos of him with his nose in my dinner..! :).
So, l always put a little to one side of the plate
for him..HeHe! Naughty boy..! 😼 🐾🐾
Tucker...you gave me an idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a yummy treat for Tucker, no "politely" about it, I'm sure. Ha.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually have ice cream on hand, and if I do it's got chunks of things that cats should eat, but Nicki does like some yogurts, not all brands. I don't eat a lot of yogurt, but when I do, I offer him a tiny bit. Sometimes he licks it up, sometimes not.
What a sweetie that Tucker is! Waiting patiently on the chair for his dessert. My Lucy loves her ice cream too, but like you, only the little pool at the bottom of the bowl.
ReplyDeleteTucker sure knows that he wants and how to get it! But then, he's a cat...I think that's a characteristic of all cats. At least he goes about voicing his demands politely!
ReplyDeletedood...just rememburr who ewe R; next time therz noe knead ta bee pole lite... if dad doez knot give way { catfather } de codd mother likez her ice creem two !! :) ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteA wee pool of melty ice cream will do no harm to a kitty, who enjoys it so!
ReplyDeleteFunny! Saku is the ice cream kitty here and like Tucker he senses when the ice cream bars come out of the fridge. Sadly for him, I bought popsicles this time. I keep for Eli though have been known to enjoy one once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteOh mercy! Tungsten does not need much ice cream!!! >,-)))) He is a round-ball-of-love already.
ReplyDeleteThis being said, by someone, who also, does not need much ice cream! :-)
All the furs here like a bit of ice cream, some more than others, but only our Rumpy asks for a taste. Of course he wants a taste of just about everything
