I see it as enrichment, like when they give bears at the zoo something to smell to entertain them. Makes my cat happy at least just to smell stuff
Saw that same face on my partner when I served my famous chicken and dill dumplings.
“This is what you eat? Pathetic.”
What in gods name is that plate of cat food
We’ve had as many as 5 cats at once. We had one that did the same thing, without the judgement, he just wanted a sniff, he didn’t really want it. OTOH, My Mama Bear always wanted a single bite of whatever meat I was eating, just to know that I still loved her.
I have to be careful with burgers because my garbage cat rescue will actively try and steal them after sniff inspecting.
that’s a turkish van! I have his twin :D
Sir/Ma’am that’s a car, not a van
a turkish van
Excuse me, but how do the turks fit cargo in these?
Like they do humans, I imagine.
And then the turkeys make the car go.
I did this for my one cat until he proceeded to sneeze on my food. Little shit.
I let my Willow sniff-test a lot of my food. usually I know he wouldn’t find interest in it, but I did lose a few shrimp to him one time
Is probably, secretly, a highly rated critic in the Paw Gazette…
My cat smells what i take out of the fridge, just in case it is chicken.
She also likes to have breakfast with me, and asks for some milk or cottage (this is a day each 2 weeks)
There are 2 cats inside of my home:
- One of them smells and then steals my food
- The other one smells and then looks disgusted at my food
I have the same 2 cats!
This is the stealing one:
and that is the disgusted one:
I have to add that the disgusted one for the first time in her life actually accepted an offering of a nice slice of ham a few days ago, so she might be changing her opinion slightly.
This was the case with my cat for a while, until I let her have a sniff of my pulled pork sandwich, and she took a big bite and ran off.
She can have some pulled pork, as a treat
good cat
I love it when a plan comes together!
My cat does this when I’m drinking tea and his response is some mix of disgust and concern.
As is their right, peasant!
