A true American shorthair

[muckefuck]

I'm not at all surprised that no one guessed the one and only human food our cat has been confirmed to eat. Cornbread is something we never would've come up with either. I would've expecting something saltier, fattier, sweeter, or, indeed, all of the above.

By comparison, guessing his absolute favourite plaything for the past five days should be a breeze. I'll even give you all a helpful hint and tell you it's naturally something that was never brought into the house with any intention of it becoming a cat toy.

On the contrary; I didn't guess it because it was so obvious. Our cats adore baked goods: bread, angel food cake. Their catfood has grain in it, so I'm not surprised in the least.

Now if it had been parsnips, that would have surprised me.

Ours has so far been living Beyond Grain™, so perhaps he's only craving what he can't get from the food dish?

I've presented him with baked goods before and he's never showed the slightest interest in any of them.

Cats, in my experience, love corn -- my grandmother used to put cobs out for the barn cats.

The only two human foods Gwydion ever ate (besides tuna water): V-8 juice, and lemon-poppyseed muffins. He aggressively sought out both.

My prior cat used to retrieve corn chips out of the bag for himself.
