Peas on Earth

We really are a load of suckers, aren’t we?  Common sense doesn’t seem to apply to many areas of life.  Even ones where millions of years of evidence seem quite conclusive.  Like cats.  I’m pretty sure that cats don’t hunt for the fun of it although I suspect they quite enjoy the thrill of the chase.  Their desire for bird and rodent pie appears quite genuine to me.  Chewing some leaves or nibbling a branch just doesn’t seem to have the same appeal.  I don’t blame them.

Apparently, it’s not so clear cut at the local pet food factory.  They’ve put peas in the cat food.  Peas!  Mixed into the off-cuts, offal and awful remnants from the glue factory, are flaming petite pois.  What?  To make it ‘healthy’?!  One of the moggy’s Five-a-Day?  Bloody Hippies.  Come on let’s all hug each other and pretend that we can turn cats into vegetarians.  Let’s share the love.  With assorted vegetables. 

While they might have conned the customers, my cat is not fooled.  He leaves them defiantly in the bowl.  Licked clean.  He’s quite clear.  Greens?  Peas off.

Do you think theyve done research in to which vegetable cats are more likely to eat - or leave?

well my goldfish like peas...and they say that dogs need vegetables... so cats might as well, they eat both meat and veg!

Ah ha, yes, Boy and Pink Jelly Baby, you've hit the nail on the head - who are 'they'? And why are they telling us these things? It's just wrong, I tell you. c.
