Title: Is this animal cruelty?
Post by: Kate and her Ducks on January 13, 2010, 17:56

Oliver is in a playful mood this evening and has found one of his favourite toys...

He has this real thing for veg of almost any description. When he was a kitten he had a pet potato that he carried aound for months and if I pick peas or beans I have to hide them away immediately or he steals them and chews them up.
Well today I took the chillis that had dried on the plant on the window ledge off and he saw his oppertunity and stole one.
He is currently charging round the living room, throwing it in the air and savaging it.

I know that sooner or later he will start chewing it and they are really hot  yet I still haven't taken it off him. Am I evil? Is it worth it to know he will leave the rest of the plants alone?

He has some really odd moments and I think might be the first thick cat I have ever met!

He did love that potato!
