Would you like gravy with that?

I love my cat.  And yes, I want to provide him with a nutritionally sound diet full of all essential vitamins and minerals.  And gravy.  The more gravy, the better.  In fact, I even add extra water to his food just to make him more gravy so that he’ll be happy and stop his incessant whining.

I’ve yet to meet a cat who doesn’t like gravy. When exactly did gravy become a staple for cats?  Have you ever watched a cat eat wet food with gravy?  They lick all the gravy first and then they eat the food, IF there’s time.  It’s like they’ve gotten down to the bare essentials, which in this case IS the gravy and if they need actual food, they’ll think about that later.  After going outside, after playing ball….after everyone in the household is asleep.

I have a million dollar idea: Poutine for Cats.  Why stop at gravy when we can add artery clogging cheese curds?  They could be tuna flavoured for added enjoyment.  I’m quite certain it would be a surefire hit in the feline community.  Overweight North Americans just LOVE the idea of providing similar junk food for their furry children.  Heat it up, eat it cold…your cat won’t care.  He’ll just revel, like you do, in the delicious goodness of excessive gravy.
