Things that happen to cat people who are adventersome cooks

I use anchovy paste from time to time. I made the mistake of giving my 2 overlords samples.

I got a replacement tube today. I took it out of the box and set it on the kitchen table. I made the rookie mistake of not putting it in the fridge.

😸😸

There are tiny teeth marks on the tube.

I soon learned that I could not leave bread out on the counter because he'd tear the plastic packaging open and gnaw big hunks out of the loaf.

He was recently off the track, and was still in skinny racing shape. He just stood there and held it in his mouth, didn't know what to do with it.
He became an extraordinarily good boi.

I worked in a pizza restaurant. A customer asked if we could help him. It was winter, and he saw a cat on one of his front tires trying to stay warm. When he tried to get the cat off his tire, it jumped up into his engine. He asked us if we could give him some cheese to lure the cat out. I was a cat mom back then. I told them only an anchov would lure it out. And it worked like a charm.
