I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from the hot sauce in the air, me included. We had to open all the windows, dig out the fans to get it out of the house, freezing everyone in the process.

    Every cat owner should try every food they give their cats at least once.

    I do it, and it makes total sense why they jump onto some of it, but only reluctantly eat some of the cheaper stuff.

      Sorry, but my cat eats whole mice. I don’t think our tastes have much overlap. I’ll trust her decisions on the wet food varieties without personally experiencing them.

      I was curious about her utter devotion to Temptations, though, and can safely say that whatever causes cats to go wild for them is not present in at least this human.

        Cats love to kill, but at this point I’ve seen too many dead mice, birds, and lizards, proudly presented by a cat who right next went to eat the tasty food. Seriously, too many… 😳

        They don’t have a sweet tooth, so all their food tastes like a variation on beef jerky, steak tartare, sashimi, and ash… but “comparatively”, some of the dry and wet food, have more flavor than others. They also go crazy for the sauce first, I guess that’s like jello.
