Unfortunately SQUIRE TOM, who rules our house. Doesn’t like cats....He puuuurrrferrs his buddy Rascal, the dog. Who tries to purr with him....We need a pet psychologist <<<

You must get your pets from the same place that I do.

For I too have lived with several strange ones.

There was the giant Tom, who ate the stems of all the wild mustard leaves, but would not pick his own. LOL, I like the mustard leaves dipped in the Safeway label of Ranch Dressing.

I tested him once, if I picked him a leaf, he ate it, but stick the plant in his face and he would not take a bite.

He also spent his night, after all the others were asleep, sleeping his body curved with my body, with his paw in my hand.

Felt like I was sleeping with a loved one.

Safeway label of Ranch Dressing.<<<

I’m going to buy that next time we’re at Von’s (same store).

Your cat story is one of my favorites. I hope we see our pets in heaven. I miss mine:

Heidi, the miniature German Shepherd, so gentle.
Avis, our smallish furry brown and black mixed breed, a darling dog.
Lucky, my black and white spaniel, probably the smartest dog I ever had. Loved to be vacuumed.
Waggs, my chow-brador, stubborn and loyal and funny.
Merlin, my Russian Blue who took over the baskets I put on the counter and lay on the back of the couch, purring.
Cindy, my black and white shorthair cat who stayed aloof but secretly loved to be petted.

Can you buy mustard leaves? Is that what they call mustard greens, and do they have to be cooked?
