#Caturday HAM!

November 28, 2015 By: Summer Samba38 Comments

Note: I will be continuing the Saturday Catinee, but only occasionally, when I have a really special video to share with you! I will be posting more fun cat videos on my Facebook page, so you can watch for them there.

As you can see, Binga and I were totally frantic with excitement because we were getting something we thought we’d never have: ham! It was a fortunate accident. My human went out to dinner on Thanksgiving and they got her order wrong! She only ordered turkey but they gave her the combo, which was turkey and ham. She does not eat ham and does not even like it, so she made sure she was not charged for it and she left most of it on the plate. But she did grab a chunk for her take-home bag because she knew we would like it. You will have to excuse the quality of these photos because it was dark, late and we couldn’t keep still!

Can you believe my human tried to make me “stay” to get a piece of ham? I was incredulous. But I did “stay,” if only for a millisecond.

I was actually very polite and did not chomp on my human’s fingers. My human had to give Binga her ham in shreds to keep a distance between her fingers and Binga’s teeth because she does chomp! Boodie got some too. In fact, there was enough ham for us to have a second round of treats on Friday too. Sadly, I doubt we’ll be seeing any more ham anytime soon!

    SCORE! Too bad you didn’t get turkey too. TW doesn’t eat red meat but occasionally she’ll go somewhere and bring me a sample. I wouldn’t eat bacon when you brought me some.

    Lets just say we are envious and covetous of your yummy treat score! Mmmm!
    At least Pipo says so, and of course dog-guy…Minko wouldn’t do much more than give it a sniff, he’s so silly.

    Yummy! Looks like you were trying to push Binga down from getting in on the ham Summer, MOL. Such a funny story. Sounds like something that would happen to our mom. Glad you kitties got to try it out. Your mom is the best! Purrs

    Juicy ham is one of my human’s favorites. Some of the kitties who came before loved ham just like you all do but I’m not sure I’ve ever had any. Next time my humans have some I must be sure to sniff and maybe try it.

    Yay! Ham!! We’ve never tried it, but it sounds really tasty. We had turkey for Thanksgiving. Our human is well-trained and does not try to make us do tricks for treats.

    Wow! We get ham just about every day! MomKatt gives us each a tiny tidbit in the mornings. But my sisfur, Morticia, is the “Haminator” in our house – she’ll kill for ham. So she’s most pleased that you guys got some!
