Jewel's Journey

Jewel laying on her former owner's couch.
I don't think I've shared this memory of Jewel before, but if I have, maybe you'll enjoy hearing it again. :)

Before I started renting a room from Jewel's former owner, I'd come visit them.  Once when I had a box of Triscuits, Jewel kept staring at me and begging for one.  I didn't think she'd like them, but I offered her one anyway.  She ate it!  I laughed and thought she probably wouldn't eat another, so I offered her another one.  She ate that one, too!

From that day on, whenever I had Triscuits, I would give her a couple.  I know human food isn't all that great for cats, so I would only give her a couple each time, but it provided us a chance to bond, and I loved seeing her enjoy a little snack.

  1. That is very sweet. Spooky comes running to me when he sees I have Smart Food so I give him 2 pieces.

  2. How cute! Angel loves popcorn, and she'll lick my peanut butter sandwich, which The Hubby thinks is gross! Aw, a little cat spit never hurt a human!

  6. That is too cute. Our Mew Mew loves potato chips. Guess it is the salt on them that the cats like.

  7. That is a sweet memory. I love hearing about the little things that bind a kitty and his or her person together. I usually have Greek yogurt every morning for my tummy. My Chase Bird, who is at the Bridge now, would come over to me, I would dip my pinky finger into the yogurt, and he would like it off. Our little routine. :-)

  14. Lily Olivia likes Wheat Thins. She'll steal them from Mom or Dad's plate if they don't keep an eye on her. It's nice to have such fond memories. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  15. It's so interesting what some cats are attracted to when it comes to human food. My first cat Feebee used to like to lick mustard off of lettuce pieces from my sandwich.

  16. Awww! That is such a sweet memory. My cats like crackers too. It's funny what cats will eat. I love the new colors on your website! It looks great! :)

  17. Aw, how sweet! It's strange what things our cats will prove to like. My Evan begs for Ovaltine every time I drink it. And the other day, my girl Thimble started helping herself to, believe it or not, flour! She won't eat any cat treats I offer her, but she likes flour.

    Thank you for sharing another sweet memory of Jewel. Purrs!
