food wars of the feline kind

JR & the cat are having a tense discussion about the merits of wet cat food…

Mercury is not a fan. He wants his usual dry food. And NOT all the remaining pointy ones in the usual food.

JR feels the wet food should be a perfectly acceptable (possibly refreshing?) alternative.

Merc disagrees. He does not understand what we don’t get, when he’s communicated his feelings via all three universally understood “I Insist On Being Fed Right Now, Or If There Is Already Food In My Bowl It’s Disgusting And I Obviously Don’t Want That Food And Require Newer, Better Food Immediately” methods:

• waking up the humans repeatedly with loud, drawling meows and tiny loving claw scratches way before it’s time to get up
• getting tangled between the human’s legs in a mad rush towards the cat bowl any time the humans even gesture towards the room in which the bowl resides
• jumping up to (and hurtling down from) forbidden surfaces such as the bookshelves or the kitchen counter while the human is looking right at the cat

JR feels strongly that the wet food is nutritious AND yummy, and an all around better alternative, as PetSmart is far away and $8 for 3 oz. of dry food at Whole Foods seems excessive.

Merc disagrees, disdainfully, and with loud meows.

JR feels that Merc should eat what he’s been frickin’ given already.

Me, well, I feel that this should get interesting around 4:30am.
