Since Owning A Dog Or Cat

[Doofus]

Have you found your cheese consumption has dropped significantly?

The cats were bad enough, but now we have a dog, I have to eat cheese in the fking garage!

And buttered toast.

Dairy products aren’t good for cats.

I used to let ours lick a small bit of buttered toast every morning. She developed diarrhoea and after some expensive tests and medications I eventually realised it was the butter!

Got to pay the cheese tax I’m afraid.

Consumption remains the same but the cheese bill has gone up.

Its ham with my cat. Can open the fridge and he doesnt look up but if i put my hand near ham he's up like a shot.

[TR4man]

For our dogs it is cream cheese (especially Primula) which we put their medications in a blob of.

Crisps for me, I open the cupboard they're in without even touching a bag and my schnauzer appears out of nowhere

Reminds me of a post years ago when someone said 'A stray cat kept hanging around our house looking hungry, so I gave it some ham hoping it would go away.'

Ours got hooked on Primula after advice from puppy training class about walking to heel training. Effective though.

Another technique for getting medication in is beef sandwich paste spread. Though ours thinks tablets are just another snack.

Don’t eat cheese but he does like a buttered toast.

Consumption of every thing drops with my dog , as long as it’s safe , I’ve now got a good supply of wafer ham or liver sausage in fridge so she’s content to be having something of us whilst we’re eating

My last dog it was anything diary: milk, yoghurt, Philadelphia, cream, cheese (including blue cheese, he had a proper passion for Stilton and Danish Blue) plus the cow itself! Stan’s a bit young at the moment (three and half months) but I’m sure he’ll take up the baton.

Previous cat however, you couldn’t open a can of tuna in the next county without her appearing next to you instantly.

Yea our cat does smell tuna through closed doors...

[soad]

Cheese, sliced meats, buttered bread/toast, takeaway pizza crust, chippy chips, ice cream…the list goes on.

Was interested in literally anything (licked his nose after sniffing food), sadly missed now.

One of the hardest things with losing my dog Rambo recently has been being able to open a bag of crisps, usually would walk past his bed and see one eye open, then he would slink out behind me, always reminded me of a plain clothes cop car in an American film slipping out inconspicuously after the target.

I can open the fridge, have a rummage around in the salad drawer, grab something from the back, slide out the jar drawer and nothing, as soon as I open the cheese compartment on the door I have 3 furry friends sat at my feet giving me "the look"!

Mine is more than 50% labrador - nuff said.

He can detect an open packet of cheese from three rooms away...
