Cat Burglar
November 11th, 2005Inquisitive little things, all cats are sneaky by nature. And it’s not that my cats are any more prone to filch than say, Von Krankipantzen’s Yoshi for example, but they are a bit off the beaten path when it comes to the types of things they steal.
Sphynx loves stealing bananas, razors, tank tops and underwear. When it comes to missing bobby pins, bras, arm bands and electronics, Bella is the most likely culprit.
Seriously, sometimes I wonder if they’re setting up shop somewhere. I can just see them crouching on a corner in China Town, looking shady, hocking my crap for cheap from a suitcase.
“Fai dollah fo underpants – they’ve never been worn right side out!”
What really makes Hänni happy is the fact that when given the choice between snaking ocean fish or organic veggies, they will *always* go for the veggies.
Seriously, one time I dropped a bowl of salad on the floor and those cats were on that shit faster than Rosie O’ Donnell on free McRib – and you know that bitch loves her McRib.
Don’t believe me that the Nutrition Nazi’s cats are also quasi-vegetarian? Look here:
From my freaky, greenbean-filching family to yours, happy Friday dear hannihaus readers!

Our dogs love tomatoes and apples, but only if they’re grown in our own yard. Hunger, er, I mean, HUNTER, will only accept perfectly red, delicious tomatoes from the vine. He peels them (using his teeth and paws), punctures the fruit, licks the juices, then eats the guts.
Very precise, he is.

Kitties that eat green beans. They must be alien beasts. All the pets I know are proud carnivores! When I get the dog and cat that I want to get, I’m going to make sure they’re vegan, ONLY SOY MILK like mommy!
Oh yeah Hanni, my favorite thing to order from coffee shops now is hot chocolate with Soy Milk. Although I get strange looks when I say “yes, I still want the shipped cream.”

Hanni - My dog has recently taken a liking to produce as well. I guess this doesn’t say too much as he also sniffs other dogs butts, but (no pun intended) this time he’s taken it too far. i posted pictures over at my site and referenced yours as the inspiration. sorry, don’t know how to link.

I wish Yoshi ate more produce voluntarily. Her organic-better-than-I-feed-my-own-self cat food has yams and blueberries and potatoes in it. Fortunately they are disguised as regular cat food nuggets. She has no idea.

Summer - Your description of red, delicious vine-ripened tomatoes is making my mouth water. No wonder Hunter is such a connoisseur with easy access to fresh produce. To quote the immortal Napolean Dynamite… “Lucky!”
Dima - Well it’s *normal* for cats and dogs to be carnivores, b/c that’s what they are in the wild. In fact for cats (and i don’t know about dogs) they need meat to be healthy - their stomaches thrive under acidic conditions (such as those produced by meat). People are different b/c our stomaches are naturally acidic and need vegetables to counteract the acidity in order to function optimally.
Are you really vegan?
As far as the coffee, I heard Starbucks carries organic milk, so from now on, you can order soy and i’ll order organic.
Stampy - Aww that’s crazy! I’ll have to check it out (and i’ll e-mail you how to link for your future reference).
Von Krankipantzen - Ha! Yoshi would never forgive you if she knew. That reminds me, when i was little we had neighbors that served “black trout” at their house all the time. Their house full of little boys loved the black trout, too bad it wasn’t really fish at all, but liver. Blech.

No Hänni, I’m not vegan, but I would like to be as much vegan as possible, if that makes any sense. I like cheese a lot, so I want to limit my dairy intake to that, and use soy products instead whenever possible, like milk. I don’t think I can easily give up chicken though. Beef, I already don’t care much for.

I had a cat that liked lettuce. That’s as weird as it’s gotten in my house.
