Difficult here with an elderly cat who is thin and only eats dry and the young girl wants to eat all his dry food and consume all food, wet included. Moved my girl to Science Diet food weight control a few weeks back and she loves it, hoping for the best... monitoring food is a job in itself.

People attribute Gatoring to Animal House, but it predates that. A friend told me it was a fad in the 60s and lots of teen clubs had to ban it for some reason.

broccoli makes me nauseous. just the smell. Science people say "broccoli haters are reacting to compounds called glucosinolates, which are also present in brussels sprouts and other so-called cruciferous vegetables. Some people taste these as intolerably bitter"

So you guys like it because you CAN'T taste it. I'm like a super-taster!
