The life of a cat is really only as exciting as you make it. And Salem and I like to make it exciting. At least fun. Today we decided to go check out “teenager’s” room.
We walk in and it’s a virtual pig sty. In cat world, it’s a treasure trove of things to smell, scratch, and places to hide.
Salem and I immediately start sniffing around. Right off I spot a plate with a small brown lump-like object on it. I point a paw, “I dare you to eat that.”
Salem’s eyebrows raise and a grin spreads across his face. “Challenge accepted.”
He bends down and sniffs it. His face contorts as though he ate a lemon. I can tell it must be something foul, but I know my brother. He has his pride.
He leans over and forces it down in one gulp. My paw flies to my mouth as my breakfast tuna almost makes a reappearance. “I can’t believe you just did that.”
He burps with satisfaction and smiles at me.
Later that day, I stumble across the gruesome trail Salem leaves behind on his way to the litter box.
Maybe we should stick to hide and seek.
Definitely keep to hide and seek. Better than learning about human teenagers the hard way.

They are an odd bunch aren’t they?

Very odd. They become aliens for those years. Though they usually become human again at 20.

OMG – I remember some of the fossilized remains of food left in my son’s room when he was a teenager! His room was a scary toxic waste dump 😳 Salem may be cute, but he’s definitely not a gourmet!
The photo is so cute!

Yeah, they are gross. I guess your teen survived. Us cats are way cleaner than you humans, I must say.

My cats are so picky they don’t eat all flavors of cat food let alone mystery lumps! Hope Salem feels better.

Salem even digs in the garbage. He isn’t as refined as I am.
