tried never to let my critters eat people food.

My finicky Siamese gets the occasional nibble of roast chicken on the occasion that I have it, because he asks so nicely.

Other than that, he’s content with his kitty food. At least the varieties that he’ll eat. Did I mention that he’s a tad finicky?

Starvation and then plenty often run in cycles, depending on the circumstances. But yes, people tend to overeat when food is available (and then don’t “know why” they’re obese) and over time, it does develop into diabetes or structural diseases from excess weight.

I never got enough to eat when I was growing up, but we had a fairly large family, and a low income (supplemented by a garden and/or home-canned foods) and I was extremely active.

As long as I stuck to my hypoglycemic diet, (The closest thing to it is the Keto diet) I was fine. But getting off it when I became ill was the worst thing I could do.

Mom doesn’t know feeding Tyson can be bad, but you’re still wise to watch. A lot of things are out of my inventory, as well, until I see what’s in the shopping cart of my FS and his PW! Then it goes on my list for the next week. My bad.

Seeing his photos, I can well believe he’s a tad finicky! He’s just got that regal look! You should post a photo of him! T-c will agree with me, I’m sure!

For some reason, I can’t post pictures on FR anymore. Maybe it’s because I post from my phone?

He is a handsome kitty for sure. And he has the sweetest disposition. He’s the only kitty I’ve had who calmly lets me clip his claws. He also asks to be picked up and cuddled.

He never claws furniture (or me.) He only uses his scratching posts and scratching boards.

He is spoiling me as much as I spoil him. ♥️

If you post it on FB, I can copy it and send it to T-c in an email. Maybe she can post it on FR, because she’s very good at that!

I think you’re both qualified to work in government.

At the highest levels.

Thank you! He is as sweet as he is handsome. That little motor of his is running almost any time he’s awake. 😻

Apparently some gun shot some people in a Brooklyn subway station in NYC this morning, during rush hour.

For reasons still unknown, the police are looking for the person who was holding the gun. Why they would blame a person when a gun was involved is beyond me.

I’m glad I no longer go into NYC.

I saw that news. Just amazing that there could be a gun in New York. Didn’t it know it wasn’t allowed?

It probably didn’t speak one of the official languages in which NYC posts everything.

IIRC there are 10 or 12 including English, Russian, German, French, Polish, Haitian-Creole, Simplified Chinese, Standard Chinese, Urdu, Arabic, and others.

BOOM isn’t one of those.

Well, that was certainly an unwelcome change in plans!

Good that it didn’t come closer!
