In my previous post, "Keeping one's cat hydrated," I mentioned my cat's penchant for drinking water from the kitchen faucet. Recently, while having my groceries scanned, the checker mentioned, "Nothing for your cat? I notice you've been neglecting her lately." I countered that I'd been catering to her whims, including letting her drink water frequently from the kitchen tap. I also said that all of my family's cats are treated well. "Thanks to my dad, my parents' cat, Sammy, is spoon-fed part of the time." The checker asked, "Is it a silver spoon?" I paused and responded, "Actually, yes. Interesting symbolism there, now that I think about it. It proves my point about cats being treated well, though."
You know you're a regular customer when a checker knows your family's cat buying and feeding habits.
