If there is one enduring image I cling to it is the vision of myself as an old man eating cat food in the park. In a long history of morbid and sardonic humor this is the one simulacrum of my future I enjoy and fear the most. We all have that thing that waits for us in the night, that once stirred from our sleep cups us in its hands and is only shaken by a flick of a light or a cold chug of juice from the fridge.
I have never tasted cat food, wet or dry. Why, when I know there are mounds of kibble in my future and opportunities to cut my tongue on the tin lip of the can?
Will it be good? Will I like it? Will I get enough protein or will my teeth suffer from lack of calcium?
Tonight I took a step closer to finding out.
I watched S'quatch eat some.
He reported that it is oily, which I suspected, and granular, which I did not anticipate at all.
I will need a bench close to a drinking fountain.

Why did S'quatch eat it? Coco's diabetic kibble smells delicious. I've been tempted.
Some of that dog food they advertise on TV for small, pampered dogs looks terrifically edible.
It's always cat food for my dystopic fantasy (shout out to DTG!)
S'quatch just ate it because I was talking about it and he figured why not find out right now? I think that's why anyway. Let's hope he comes around and tells us tomorrow.
And then there was the time I "made you" eat MilkBone dog biscuits. Didn't take a whole lot of convincing, lemme tell you. Don't you want one, even now?
P.S. I was pleased that my word verification was "couth" last time.
I hear you, brother. I got my spot in the bushes on the median all picked out.
Is that a good place because people will throw you scraps?
Like Mikey in the Life cereal commercials, Sasquatch is always game to tackle new frontiers in cuisine. My cats disdain Meow Mix, and after crunching a few myself, I must agree. Friskies always puts out a palatable product.
uh huh, it'll get you by in a pinch, that's why dog's eat the recycled version.
S'quatch is a good friend to be the taster.
