We (dad and Madi) can tell when mom is in the kitchen...she is a good cook... but she is
N O I S Y (you don't even want me to get started on the noise she makes when emptying the dishwasher. When we are visiting my sis and bil, MOM is not allowed near the dishwasher).
So back to my current story. Mom was dicing, slicing and maybe stirring. We cats like motion so of course I was watching, all of a sudden an orange thingie flew at me...hoping upon hope, it was ham... (It did not look like ham BUT mom has been known to disguise things)
I gave it a sniff...NOPE this is not ham...in fact it smells like nuttin'...just bland and blah!!
Mom picked it up told me it was a CARROT. She said a ton of my K9 friends eat carrots for snacks....
I was intrigued because all of my K9 friends are smart (or so I thought) so there must be something to it.
As I was about to take a bite of mom's hand the carrot, Mom told me it was a vegetable and it was extra good for me. I gave her my best evil eye while turning away quickly (no photo). I hope she realizes this Diva CAT does not do veggies. I don't like my food to be in technicolor or start with a "V" or be extra good for me.
PSA
Dear K9 friends, you are being tricked in to eating veggies for snacks.
Snack food is supposed to be tasty NOT GOOD for you.
BabyBelle LOVES veggies! She is crazy, Madi! Lol. Hugs to you and Happy Monday!!
ReplyDeleteHuman always make a wicked new menu... No way it will work !

Madi, this canine friend is a carrot refusenik, and totally agrees that snacks should be tasty not healthy.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

Crikey Madi .... We are smart!! True!!! Even if we do like carrots, aye?? BUT we like icecream better. See ..... I told you we were smart.
ReplyDeleteAngus loves carrots but he will eat pretty much anything.
ReplyDeleteMerle................
Meh. Veggies are for humans and actually aren't that great for kitties - we need a nearly 100% all-meat protein diet. That said, I LOVE cantaloupe! But I don't think I would like a carrot much.
ReplyDeleteMom's woofie Angel Katie LOVED carrots! Silly, huh?
ReplyDeleteHugs, your guy Raz and The Florida Furkids
To right Madi...I insist my carrots are COOKED before I eats them....nefer eat RAW carrots!

ReplyDeleteCrikey Madi - that was a close run thing! Eating carrots can turn your furs orange you know... well, okay, eating 87 tonnes of carrots required for that, but better not start what you have no intention of finishing, eh? Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
A vegy? She swore at you???? I hope you told her what to do with it!

Pssst Madi, we don't like raw carrots either.....
ReplyDeleteBig mistake, Madi! Carrots are yummy!
ReplyDeleteOne of our doggies would eat carrots and apples. But we agree with you Madi, not for cats. Hope you got a better treat than a carrot, Madi. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteOh Madi, you are so kin to the hubby. He's a meat-a-tarian and does not like vegetables either.
ReplyDeleteVeggies?! What the fluff? We eat MEAT!
ReplyDeleteOh but Madi, carrots are so good for you! You need to try them cooked with a bit of buttah and sugar. Even just licking the buttah and sugar would be a fun thing. Just a little bit maybe your Mom could let you have. When I first started this post I was afraid your Mom was going to have a hurt finger from dicing and slicing... whew! Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL Jake loves carrots but not raw ones. get mom to cook them first... i don't know anyone who would just sit and watch tv and eat a whole bowl of carrots but i do know someone who would eat a whole bowl of ice cream...
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't green! MOL MOL MOL!!!
ReplyDeleteGood call on your part, Madi. Hope she flings a piece of ham down soon.
Sending >>smooches<< from your besties at Angel Prancer Pie.
Pee ESs - we got your card yesterday. Thank you so much for thinking of our Mommy!
I am smarter Madi cause mom (tricks me) puts carrots in my foods crushed up. When those carrot pieces fly on the floor I look at it, look at her and say "Where's the ham woman!" Then Fatty eats it
ReplyDeleteGirls rule Madi
Lily (&Edward)
oh you can give it to me, Madi, I like carrots :o) my momma is a dishwasher cowboy too... you can hear it till timbuktu :o) and always when she is ready and the dishwasher is empty, my dad brings on a used mug... think he hides that mugs somewhere to tease her :o)
ReplyDeleteThat's it, Madi, I must be a Diva! I don't like vegetables, especially carrots!! Ham would be a tastier treat, for sure!!
ReplyDeleteNose taps and hugs,
Molly
Psst...we hate to tell you this, Madi, but some types of cat food have veggies in them. Yes...vegetables!
ReplyDeleteWe are with you here, Madi. We are strong believers that snacks should be tasty, not veggies..BLECK!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
I don't snack on carrots either! Momma has offered a few times and I sniff politely, but no thanks!
ReplyDeleteMadi, we must agree with you. We are not raw carrot doggies. Maybe a cooked carrot is OK but we do not care for the raw ones either. Your mom was tricky. She owes you some ham so you can forgive her deceit.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Hee hee, Madi, you are so funny! :-) You are going to get a lot of doggie parents in trouble with your PSA.
ReplyDeleteMmm! Carrots!
ReplyDeleteWe hate to tell you this, Madi, but we do enjoy a good crunchy carrot - Mom says they make great skinny treats:)
ReplyDeleteNO, you don't have that captcha thingie on your blog.
Woos - Ciara and Lightning
Oh we LOVE carrots and green beans and broccoli and well you get the idea
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Mabel
madi....de onlee thing ya wanna eat thatz orange iz.... roughy !!! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteOh you are ever so right - icky on veggies is what I say. Although I have to admit when Mom gives me a well-buttered lima bean, I might ACCIDENTALLY eat it after licking all the butter off!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Do you mean to tell us that when Mom gives us our CARROTS every evening... and says that they are good fur our Poop Shooters... it is just another example of the LIZ that have been flying around our house???
ReplyDeleteOMC Madi... My life is a SHAM. A SHAMEful SHAM.
oooh Madi I wish I'd been on cleanup duty that night. Carrots are almost my favorite. I love broccoli and cauliflower and green beans too. But my favorite? The one I whine for? Bell peppers. MMMMMM! You cats don't know what you're missing! Your pal, Toby
ReplyDelete....wondering now, do you like Chocolate snacks?
ReplyDeleteTell mom to stop trying to tell you what's good for you....YOU KNOW what's GOOD and bad.
Psssssssssssst, Madi....did you know CATnip is a veggie?
DeleteOh, we LOVE our veggies! Fruit, too! Except for grapes and raisins, which are on the "REALLYnonono" list. Onions, too. Anyway, I'll take your carrot if you don't want it!
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
Yuk! Sometimes some of my food has bits of carrots or beans in it and I always leave it in a pile in my bowl.
ReplyDeleteMadi I am so proud of you, you are a true Diva!
ReplyDeleteWe like carrots because they crunch like our biscuits do.
ReplyDeleteHailey has decided recently she likes carrots. Phod eats them only because he doesn't want her to have it!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I would like that carrot thing either pretty Madi!
ReplyDeleteSometimes there's veggies in our food and we'll eat around them. 'Specially peas. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteI am glad it was a carrot, I thought you were going to say it was part of her finger.
ReplyDeleteOh gurl, I totally agree with you!!!! Yuckers on the carrots!!! Wells, yuckers on ALL VEGGIES! (wells, except tomatoes and lettuce..I'm a salad gurl! ☺) I do likes to chew them up and spit them out in little piles, and leave them like landmines for Ma to step on in her bare feeties! BOL!!!!! oh man, you gots to try that one! GOLD!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
