Related: About this forumCOOK! Bring me Hasenpfeffer!!
We got Lemmy the cat about a year ago. I work alone at a small warehouse bay and Lemmy 'mugged' me during a zoom call. The company that I work for decided to chip in for his initial vet bill so I could bring him home. I have other cats too. It turns out he's about 10 or 11 years old. He had to have a bunch of dental work done too. Most of his teeth were broken and he had exposed roots. After the dental surgery he only has 2 teeth left in his mouth. We mostly give him wet food, but he still likes dry food. He also begs for people food like a dog. He'll stand up on his back legs to get whatever you hand him. He loves steak, chicken sausage and fish too. No one goes into the kitchen without being under his watchful eye. What he lacks in teeth he more than makes up for in personality.

Lemmy looks like a character!
Kinda like the real-life Lemmy

Lemmy was hanging out under the cars in the parking lot and my brain went straight to 'Motorhead'.

Tractor Supply is about 30 miles from me though. I usually order from Chewy or my wife picks up the food at the local store.

or twenty percent discount. I've vetted critical nutrition factors with the manufacturer.
