Yummers Spills The Beans


what's that?! Do I smell asparagus in the kitchen??


Listen up now, I've got some important advice for any of you kitties out there who might be interested in getting in on the People Food action.

just look at all that kale... you know they're gonna give me some!


It's Yummers Potatoes here. You might remember me from Amey's blog. Today, I'd like to talk about a subject that's very dear to me, People Food. People Food is pretty good stuff... I've had the honor of eating such delicacies as tortilla chips, ice cream, and crackers. But most of all, I love the veggies. Back in the day I was into raisins and mango, but once I discovered veggies, there was just no going back. My favorites are the green veggies, like kale and spinach, broccoli and asparagus, and green beans, but I also really love corn, which is not green.


me eating some awesome asparagus!


Here's how you can get involved in eating People Food: My tactic was to start off by being very standoffish. When Amey and Matt first adopted me, I was sure to keep my distance. Anytime they tried to pet me, I would scamper off. When we all sat down on the sofa, I would sit three or four feet away. I called this "long distance snuggling." Soon enough, they were becoming increasingly desperate for snuggles, and they started to offer me tasty little bits of People Food to see if they could draw me in closer. Don't give in too quickly, friends! Take the morsel and run off again.


this is how you ask for broccoli!

check it out - I got them so excited about giving me People Food that they make movies about it!

Once you have established a pattern of people giving you People Food, you need to learn how to ask for it more aggressively. As soon as you smell the broccoli cooking on the stove top, run into the kitchen and start meowing like crazy. This will send the message that you are interested. When they sit down to eat, jump up on their chair, or on the sofa next to them and look super cute. It might be a good idea to meow some more as well. If you are still not getting any broccoli handouts, you will need to be more proactive. As soon as they lift their fork from the plate, stick out your little paw and try to knock the broccoli off the fork! If it falls to the ground it will be all yours!


see how she thinks I am cuddling her, but actually I am just getting very close to her borscht! 


Best of all, those annoying dogs aren't allowed to have people food, so I get to enjoy my asparagus and gloat over it while those poor saps stand by and watch. Mwahahahaha!

Good luck, feline friends. Stay strong and may the People Food soon be yours!

Here they are giving me corn. Wait! Why did they give some to the dogs?!
