It's only kibble or stinky wet cat food. He's not the least bit interested in what anyone is eating or what's unattended on the counter. He's been on the counter but that's to stand up in the window to see what the neighbor's dog was doing. He could be Mandarine's soul mate...

It has to be in her plate, and she had rather have disgusting cat food if she can choose. I can leave a hamburger or tuna on the kitchen table for a whole day, she will not touch any.

He even likes the most awful of concoctions, those fake fruity powder mixes Crystal Lite puts out. I'm just really glad he's not into espresso. Abys are truly astounding in the diversity of their gastronomie. What does our hostess Mandarine like, I wonder? No wonder I caught Finn drinking my chardonnay.

What does our hostess Mandarine like, I wonder?

Mango and Peaches both like exotic foods; chicken with a mandarin orange glaze, vegetable pakora, chicken masala, any pasta in marinara sauce, fresh papaya... Peaches once stole an escargot from the briochet and gobbled it down. Little Peachie also loves wine, preferably white. She will sip a red or rosé but loves a nice white (sauternes, moscato, chardonnay...). She even has a favorite and that's a Gewertzaminer. She will drink until someone takes it away! Her vet says wine isn't bad for her in moderation, however, we often disagree as to the definition of "moderation". Mandarine certainly is a gracious hostess.

It is, after all, Mandarine's world; and we are mere visitors of her magnificence. But I do want to thank Mandarine, most of all, for making this an orange cat moment.

You're right, Randy! So far Finn has eaten yoghurt, melon, apples, cottage cheese with hot sauce (to his regret not two hours later), peanut butter, this on top of his usual diet of kibble, canned food and raw meat cat grade. We're not counting spiders, grass, leaves, branches and wait, he just licked the computer speaker. I live in fear. He is sooo lovely it takes my breath away. And funnier than the keystone cops.

Abys are rocket-powered cats! In addition, they are blazingly affectionate, absolutely loyal, will eat anything you eat (and always expect their share!), demand attention from your guests and are far too much fun. Mango such a character he makes me laugh every day. Katie is so right. Abys are rocket-powered cats!
