Thanks to the internet, I can vicariously feel the joys (and pains and annoyances) of having pets.
Godamn I love when my cat takes interest in my food.
Usually, he just wants a smell.
Sometimes, he's coming in hot and will try to take some.
Usually it's covered in spices he can't have, but when it's not, he gets a little snack.
My cat used to love barbecue baked Lays, and absolutely no other human food. He liked to watch me cook, though, usually from his perch on top of the upper cabinets.
there's chicken in those, so that might explain it
Wow, I didn't believe you, but I looked it up and you're right. They list "chicken" among the "natural flavors". Holy non-vegetarian, Batman!
To be fair I had never heard of a baked lay until now.
I'm beginning to feel left out. Also, should I be worried that in my head I spoke to my hypothetical cat in the cases you described?
Beware, pets are expensive.
Depends a lot on what it is. Brine shrimp barely cost anything at all.
