@margo,
Exactly. How can anyone deny that cat anything? As soon as he/she started up like that I'd be opening up a can of salmon or tuna fish (let alone a silly can of cat food).... One reason I don't have a pet these days... I'd be too prone to spoil the adorable lovely things.
BTW: Have you met the a2k Tea Room's official mascot?
Margaret Catwood,
She insists on drinking her tea sweetened with 2 mice in the library out of her genuine
Ming Dynasty bowl ...
