Tell me about it. The amount of cat food I waste.That makes sense based on my experiences. The annoying part is the fickleness. One week you buy a brand and they love it. The next week they are starving themselves.
As far as cats leaving "presents. Your lucky there're dead. I remember the time the wife and I were chasing a live bird (put your dirty minds away, it was the feathered kind) around the bedroom. Then there was the time the wife had to get the next door neighbour to catch a live mole the cat had brought in.
