Elvis my man, you can puke away if the Man has the audacity to bring home salad. Who in their right mind gets take out salad (and nothing else implied). Puck is adorable in his protestations about salad too :)
There is no point to salad.I see fish and chips, Chinese, pizza, an unidentifiable bucket, and sushi. And there I suspect I part company with the boys. They would like the fishy bit.
I lived in Japan for six years, so I know that sushi is a trick the Japanese play on gullible Westerners. They toss out a lot of talk about wabi and sabi, and then pretend that a sliver of fish on a blob of cold rice counts as fancy cooking. And idiots believe them!
I love the wheel of food choices! Let it be fish n’ chips! And the point of salad is to put a lot of dressing on top, such as Ranch dressing or honey mustard. Mmm!
LOL! “Puking in shoes.” I used to have a cat (Albemarle, or it could have been his buddy Sagamore; never caught them in the act) who was inclined to puke in shoes—my housemates’ shoes. Thank God I had patient housemates at the time.
My Gracie, long gone and much missed and still much loved, adored french fries, but only with katsup. My kids like all different things, including cheese, blueberries, and applesauce, oatmeal, and veggie bacon.
Yum Yum shows extremely little interest in people food. She is fond of butter, though, and will thoroughly investigate any plate where melted butter can be found and lick it up.
Every once in a while I’ll buy the dog a small bag of fried pork skins (chicharrones). I’ll pull out a few and put the rest away for another day. Well yesterday all 4 cats decided for the first time to investigate what I was feeding the dog. Now it turns out the dog gets a few and I get mobbed by 4 cats to break off little chunks so they can eat them too. I was covered in tiny bits of pork skin when I finally ran out. Of course the dog wanted to “help” remove the tiny flakes from my skin and clothing. Next time I think I’ll chop small pieces before I start to save myself a thorough basting from the dog.
my babies used to love kitty grass. i could never figure out how to anchor it down, though, coz bogart would grab a mouthful in his teeth and pull up the grass, roots and all. bentley would scissor it across, so to speak, chew the tops off, without pulling it out. i think bogart is a new soul, and bentley was the old soul.
Our two are always nibbling on blades of grass, especially when we put their harnesses on and take them for walks. Why the manky grass that grows out back by the garbage skips is better than the grass in our own back yard is a mystery to me, but I guess grass could qualify as “salad”.
I have one kitty who is obsessed with lettuce. He comes running when he hears the bag out of the refrigerator. I have to give him a few sacrificial pieces to keep him out of my bowl. Funniest was one time when I had a tug of war with him over a bowl of lettuce. Strawberry tops and brussels sprouts leaves, too.
And cats have shoes, huh? … Well, they have suits, so why not? Speaking of their outfits, others have likely noted as I’m a recent reader of this one – but Elvis’ outfit seems to resemble Larry King’s usual garb, yes? Also, as for Tommy the correspondent, his outfit seems more like that of Willard Scott / Al Roker, perhaps?

Take-out salad? What a waste of money! I only take out what I can’t prepare readily at home.

Maybe the man will stop at the place that has “the meats” and bring home ham and swiss sandwiches. Or maybe the salad will have bacon crumbles.

Love the “side of regret with vinaigrette” & how the fish & chips are served properly in a newspaper.

The cats I’ve known studiously try to determine the purpose of salad by stealing bits of lettuce, chewing on them a little, and then abandoning them.
If the huge hair deficient bipeds are eating it, there’s always some interest.

Salad is food that food eats. Yep, according to every cat I’ve ever known.

We had a cat that loved pad thai. He would jump on the table and steal out of the container. We also have a cat that loves BBQ ribs.

Excellent stroke work on the Chinese takeout container. Properly represents the Chinese/Japanese character “to eat”
