Happy New Year!

Happy 2009, everyone!

We had a quiet New Year's with an unexpected surprise at the end. We thought we'd be spending it on our own, but our neighbors came over at the last minute to have a toast with us. Very nice.

So far, 2009 has been a paean to consumerism, because all we did today was spend money: his n'hers black shoes, new litter box and toys for Biscuit, some really cool kites from Costco, LittleBigPlanet as a treat, and other assorted stuff we needed like toilet paper. (One of the great things about belonging to Costco is that we have not bought TP and paper towels in over a year.) Tomorrow I'm going out to the outlets in Flemington, and then we're having dinner with friends. Sunday we'll watch the Dolphins game at my inlaws', since Mom Q is a big fan. I wonder if she'll be half as intense as my mother.

And, as a follow-up to Kitties Don't Eat Carrots:

Biscuit: Want some asparagus!

Me: Okay.

Biscuit: *chomp* *crunch*

Husband: ...Don't feed the cat asparagus!

This series of things Biscuit wants amuses me greatly, since we also live with a cat who wants to eat everything that humans might be eating. Tonight, she lapped up some of akatonbo's wasabi soy sauce. And licked her nose a lot, and made faces, but then when we put the dishes away, she licked the spot on the table where the dish had been sitting.

If kitties will eat wasabi, color me impressed. I'm surprised your cat wasn't meowing in a corner after that one.

It'll probably only start meowing when she visits the litterbox.

[pantswarrior]

Hahahah. Maybe that explains her occasionally poor litterbox habits...

Cause this isn't the first time she's gone after the wasabi, either. She's a very silly cat.

The only thing I know cats should not eat is onions, garlic, or anything in that family (like chives).

Other than that, ours pretty much get to check out our plates once we're done... and if we're eating something good (like fish) we give them pieces of it.

I'm glad you told me, because Biscuit was playing with a piece of onionskin. I took it away from her.

We give her bits of our dinners, too, as long as it's not from the table. Such indulgent kittyparents. :)

Wish I could say I got shoes, but it was time for new underwonders. XD

LOL. No, we haven't tried broccoli, but maybe we should! That's hilarious!

Biscuit eats carrots and asparagus? I always thought cats were really fussy eaters. Maybe Biscuit is the reincarnation of a vegan? XD

Well, Biscuit wants to eat carrots and asparagus. Whether she'd like them is another matter.

LOL on the cat eating vegetables. Very cute

[arafel.livejournal.com]

She's very silly. :)
