Today's cat rearing advice

[jmowreader]

Never buy food for yourself that comes in pull-top cans if you feed your cat wet food that comes in those cans.

I was making myself a nice cottage-cheese-and-mandarin-orange salad one day when I reached for the can of oranges and pulled the lid open. Within five seconds my two cats are standing there demanding to be fed. I had to show them the oranges so they could see this wasn't food they wanted to eat.

2. Just using a handheld can opener, if I open tuna or chicken, zoom! My cat is right there. She smells it.

If I'm prepping anything she really likes, I have to lock her in the bedroom.

Our cat Tiger can hear the hiss of the whipped cream can from a block away.

7. In my cat's case, I just have to go into the kitchen.

My brother got him a box of those Delectables for Christmas and he's turned into an addict.
