Mimi gets cheese
Mimi about to sink her teeth into a nice lump of cheese. If I'm lucky she will miss my fingers
It would appear that no matter what else Mimi may be short of, she manages to make up for in the "fang" department. Of course, a calcium rich diet of dairy products certainly helps.
If you put a cheese sauce on it, most cats will eat an old boot, but they are attracted to the milk fat, so forget the diet stuff or the pseudo-cheese products most buy in supermarkets.
Like humans, some cats lack the ability to process dairy products other than their mom's milk, but you will find out quickly and definitively - in your litter box, hopefully.

holy crap! is she part lion? those are some chops :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to get too close to those fingers...
ReplyDeleteShe's just a little uncoordiated sweetie Betmo
ReplyDeleteHey I am close to those fingers.. they're mine!
I have said this before, but I have never seen a cat eat cheese! Mice eat cheese, and cats eat mice! LOL
ReplyDeleteWOW . . . those are some big teeth Mimi has. :o)
ReplyDeleteAwaiting her glamour shot, Mimi says "cheese" ...
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, jams. If you want to take any more of them, you'd better not get too close to those chompers!
Yikes. She can be fierce.

Perhaps it's just as well there's no way Mimi could catch a mouse LB/.. the little dear is just too disabled for hunting
ReplyDeleteTHey are big but she never bites us. She has no malice or anger at all Elizabeth
Ah Steve she is a bit uncoordinated with her head shake but she doesn't bite hard!
She looks fierece Jan but she's reall a little sweetie
Mercifully Mimi is not lactose intolerant Bryan... which is just as well as her toilet training is often forgotten!
Ah, anticipation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cat Mimi is.
(skritch skritch skritch)
I'd give those fangs anything they want! :) My cats like a nibble of cheese now and again too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rahel She certainly is!
ReplyDeleteLisa, she is a bit uncoordinated but she is gentle. Everyone loves her
Impressive set of fangs! What a pretty cheese-loving kitty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Knatolee.. she's a little darling!
ReplyDeleteCheese eating kitties leads to cheese cutting kitties.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin.
Mercifully not ewbl!
