A Short Treatise on the Dietary Preferences of Boofykatz

Ptolemy (our neuter cream Burmese boy) has always been very discriminating in his diet, but in the oddest way. He would eat nothing but cat food. The choicest delicacies, such as lean minced beef or lightly cooked chicken or tuna, would be ignored; which was good news for Topaz, who never evinced such scruples. Now things have changed. During Topaz's pregnancy, and now she is feeding her kittens, she needed a high protein diet. In addition to the delicacies mentioned above we replaced her normal cat food rations with kitten food. Guess what? Ptolemy really likes kitten food. So much so, in fact, that he has taken to stealing the foil sachets from the box, savaging them and putting the contents in a safe place - his tummy.

Is this, we wonder, the feline equivalent of that human craving for 'nursery food'?
