Just a funny story for all you fuzzy lovers!  (I hope I'm not a 'bad
mommy' for allowing my kiddos to indulge in an avacado)?  ?  ?
 
Learn something new every moment with these loveable furballs!  Ever
believe that a fuzzy (carnivore-by-nature mind you!) would think that
avocados are the greatest of God s creation, next to raisins of course!
I found this out quite by accident when I was peeling an avocado last
night and happened to drop a piece of the fleshy part on the floor.  As
usual, my fat cat Sasha waddled (that s her top speed) her plump rump
up to the foreign morsel then immediately launched into the ferret war
dance.  So here I m thinking I had poisoned her by the way she was
freaking out and of course I start freaking out as I pick her up to begin
the ferret Heimlich maneuver ... but what does SHE do???  She starts
licking my fingers as if they were actually edible!  I m talking about
some HARD lickin !  So then I reasoned that ONE - she has not ingested
poison and TWO - she actually likes the avocado!  But just to be sure I
take another small piece and mash it up on a plate, mix it with water to
form a paste and then heat it for a few seconds in the microwave.  Sure
enough, Sasha is gobbling down the paste without even breathing (she does
that sometimes when she really likes a particular kind of food and I have
to watch her to make sure she doesn t choke).
 
By then Sasha has summoned Snowball with some silent code or war cry that
I m sure sounded something like fantastic eatin over here make haste to
the kitchen, Slim!  because next thing I know Snowball is literally
running down the hallway at break-neck speed (for him this is a feat
worth seeing because usually he just does his this lop-sided skip/gallop
thing, which makes him look like an old grandpa).  So I watch them both
devour the green mushy stuff as I make a mental note to NOT freak out
when I see it again on the other end (and think it s the green slime!")
Highlight of my day... Guess you just had to be there, right?  Who knew
????
 
Peace and blessings, Jen  Sasha & Snowy still going strong . . .
