... and THAT'S why I beat the cr@p out of him, Your Honor. (Eat the Rich, the poor are tough and stringy.)
I'm going to disagree and start an argument in the comments section for no reason!
Yeah, I saw something that indicated that it is rather uncomfortable - maybe painful? - for cats when their whiskers hit the edges of the bowl when they push their faces in to eat. If this is true, it would go some way to explain this. All I know is that after I switched to a flat bowl, with nothing to impact the whiskers, there have been no complaints.
My mother thinks I'm insane because I hate temperature-hot food XD I can't stand when I take a bite of burning-hot food and it burns my tongue/mouth... not only does it interfere with my enjoyment of eating/the taste of the food, it also can sometimes hurt for hours XD (I love spicy food, though, lol.)
I have 6 cats and 10 litterboxes. All of my cats are Olympic gold medalists in the two events Litter Flinging and Digging Down To Pee On The Bottom Of The Box Even Though There's 40 Pounds Of Litter In There XD
My dog Stilgar has been mis-specied as a coyote on several occasions XD He's a German Shepherd/Kuchi Dog mix, and he doesn't have the GSD "saddle", and he's got low muscle tone and little body fat (due to having distemper as a puppy) so he does look a little unusual, admittedly (though not like a coyote AT ALL, other than being a canid.) However, he's only been mistaken for a coyote when I walk him.. in a very suburban neighborhood in a Southern California beach town... in a full harness... with bright blue claw caps on his nails... while wearing a doggy baseball cap (he loves his hat.) How tf would I get a coyote, even one raised by humans, to wear a HAT? XD Once, an old guy angrily yelled at me from his yard "Hey! You can't have a coyote as a pet!" and yes, I did yell back, "DO COYOTES WEAR HATS???" XD
Fun fact this argument has actually been taken to the court of law
It's one of the strange but true, facts of life, that major plot twists always occur just when you are thinking of going to bed!
It was my favourite food but then you bought more of it, so now I don't like it!
