A cat, a cheeseburger, a cat food dish. After the adventure with Fancy Feast cheese delight cat food, I decided to try an experiment to test out Cosmo's feelings about cheese, burgers, buns, delight, and to find out if he was a lol cat. I purchased two small dollar mcdonald's cheeseburgers (I know I've lost all the localtarian vegan people here), took a piece of one of the burgers and put it in cosmo's dish. He showed no interest in it, even with the bun and any pickle or ketchup removed. Then, figuring he did not like it and that he was not a lol cat, I sat down to eat the remaining burger. Cosmo's whole demeanor changed, and somehow he conveyed to me that he was eager for a morsel. He took several, even taking them to the floor to eat them. The overall burger consumption was not excessive, and he did come to a point when he did not ask for any more. He never touched the burger portion in his bowl. I think here he did recognize that there were trace elements of beef in the mcdonald's confection, and easiness of consumption and companiableness were a factor in his preference for the burger when in the possession of human attendant. Also a feeling that he had forcibly wrested it from his hooman. Yes, Cosmo is, after all, a lol cat, but on his own terms.
