As a result of this rude health, the little remaining food discipline in our house has vanished.
We used to pride ourselves on having cats who knew the difference between their plates and ours, and who respected our eating hours. T-man and me ate in solitary splendour.
How times have changed! After spending the first few months of this year saying, "I don't want it, I'm not hungry, leeve me alone..." Au is now permanently on the lookout for food.
If you have a plate, Au is there, monitoring every mouthful.
Our food inspector is so dedicated that I found myself apologising to him the other day for eating a cucumber and salad cream sandwich without offering him a bite first.
I told Au he doesn't like cucumber, but he ate some anyway. Just to prove a point.
T-man made the mistake of making himself a chicken sandwich, and Au was on it like a knife.
After a tussle of wills, Au got a large chunk of chicken and T-man got lots of lettuce and bread with a smidgeon of chicken.
We may not be able to call a sandwich our own, but as long as Au is happy and eating, we don't really care.
Au is getting a belly again, and he's all purry and fuzzy with pleasure at having his own way over every meal.
Discipline is over-rated.
PS If Au could go online, he'd buy an oven from Appliances Online in the UK. And not just because the kind people there are sending him a $50 gift certificate for cat treats but because he's finally seen an oven that could hold 2 turkeys at once!

What great news! Not only is Au feeling better - he is taking over!
This is such great news. After that close call, I would let Au eat everything and anything he wants too.
Glad that you're feeling much better Au, don't think that I could resist a chicken sandwich either!

Good work Au. You make me proud.
Wow, that really is good news about Au. That is so exciting. I sure would give him part of my sandwich too if not all of it. It is so great to read good news. Hope all of you have a fantastic week end.
Way to go Au! So glad you are back to 100%. Cheops sends hugs.
Great news! Have a fun weekend, my friends!
we do the same at home too! its a big job sniffing and sampling everything on the table. unfortunately we're not allowed when there's company because mummy says its a bit embarrassing.
very glad to hear au has recovered :)
Everything in the house belongs to the cat. This is well-known.
Looks like you are ready for a great afternoon of football and great food. Now if you could get the human to leave the room for a while you would be really set.
Hurrah for Au! I like the thought of you apologising for not offering him some of your sandwich first. LOL!
