Noses, shopping & cat food

Thanks to my pets and my son I now have a Roman nose. You can imagine what it looks like – the protruding bump at the top, very distinguished looking on the right face; only my Roman bump is not distinguished, it is red!

I went shopping today to my local Pet Barn. Huge Pro Plan bags of cat food and dog food are low to the ground. Bend the knees and lift. Easy! It’s when it comes to Fancy Feast I struggle. Multi-pack boxes are on the top shelves.

I blame my son. He is doing a science experiment at home for a school assignment. He has chosen to look at cats’ preferences for two flavours of Fancy Feat wet cat food – Salmon versus Turkey Prime Fillet.

Turkey Prime Fillet was the problem. The Salmon Prime Fillet multi-pack was retrieved from the top of the packs on the top shelves, no problem. The Turkey pack was sitting at the bottom of the top shelf, under other multi-packs. When I struggled to grab it, down came all the rest, on to my nose.

Even my dog got a fright! Not sure if it was the tumbling of the Fancy Feast or my hopping around, grabbing my rapidly swelling nose. Chilli dog quickly recovered, though with the enticing smells all around her. I on the other hand wondered if I’d ever be able to smell again.

So would you like to know which flavour cats prefer? Stay tuned, I’ll let you know…

Give me your predictions – Salmon or Turkey???
