Would you eat a can of cat food for $1000?
How about $5000?

5.5 oz. can you get to choose the flavor.

3. On crackers? With a glass of sparkling wine?
Sure.

Me and the cat often split a tin of sardines, so why not?

6. If I get to pick the flavor, maybe
Friskies Kitty Stew didn't smell so bad...

I don't know if you could pay me enough to EVER eat 9-Lives Super Supper though...wow, that stuff smells awful.

(haven't actually had much contact with cat food for almost 10 years now - don't know about any new flavors- haven't had a cat in that long)

8. Can I stir fry in some veggies?
And heavily heavily heavily spice the everloving crap out of it?

And chase it all down with a few beers?

And have the event surgically removed from my memory?

Then hell yes.

10. I'd sure give it my best shot.
Edited on Sun Mar-14-10 06:48 PM by Kali
I'm a picky eater and have a strong gag reflex, but I'm also poor as shit right now so I'd do it. $1000 or better yet 5000 would buy some food and beverage to block the memory!:rofl:

12. Sure, as long as it's Trader Joe's tuna for cats and I can cook it first.

16. It probably already is cooked.
I'd eat that, too. Most of the "tuna for cats" is just the dark meat.

22. I picked Trader Joes because tuna is the only real ingredient on the label
(there's a small amount of rice flour and added vitamins) and it's some mix of entrails and meat, but with a few herbs and vegetables it probably would be palatable.

14. I ate a whisker lickin's treat yesterday
By mistake!

I was eating some salted redskin peanuts, and I also had a whisker lickin's treat on the desk cuz I use them to wrap around kittyboy's pill....and I popped that soft treat right into my mouth.

Oog.

Most of it came back out again on my tongue, but the essence of scent was inhaled. Not good.

But I might consider this for $1000.

15. I can pick the flavor?
Edited on Sun Mar-14-10 07:39 PM by GoCubsGo
In that case, I'll have a couple of containers of Fancy Feast White Meat Chicken Appetizers. It's chicken breast plus starches and some preservative (the same stuff as in bacon and lunchmeats):



http://fancyfeast.com/appetizers/white-meat-chicken/ Some cats eat better than I do.

It's pretty much the same stuff as canned chicken for human consumption:
http://www.dietfacts.com/html/nutrition-facts/sweet-sue-chicken-breast-premium-98percent-fat-free-canned-in-water-48340.htm


There used to be another brand out there called "Sheba", that I would also eat, no problem. About the same as Fancy Feast, however, they used tapioca starch instead of the gums.


My question: Can I make a chicken salad out of it or do I have to eat it straight up? Not that it matters. It's just that shredded chicken breast gets kind of boring.


On edit: If wet food in a plastic container doesn't count, I'll have Halo Spot Stew, you can pick the flavor. Once again, some cats eat better than I do.

24. Sure, but it's got to be AmiCat or Evolution or some other vegan cat food.
I have standards, you know.

And before anybody starts to jump my shit, NO, that's not what my cats eat.

25. You bet.
Hell, I've tasted it for NO money before - I was just curious.*

It's not that great, but I've had school lunches and airline food that were worse.


*You know how little kids are, they'll put anything in their mouths out of curiosity? I never really grew out of that.

32. Yes.
Ginger's cat food is human grade, and the chicken filet looks and smells exactly like canned chicken breast for people.


Almo Nature chicken breast cat food


Canned chicken for people

34. Based on those two photos, Ginger is much better at using a plate.
That second one is CMW's place setting, isn't it? :eyes:
