Thread: Patrick, the sugar nut

My MC wants anything we have. If it's something we drink or eat, he desperately wants it. His favorite is cheese puffs or popcorn. He loves to grab ahold of of them & play with them.

Our moggie went crazy over cantaloupe. We'd have to lock him in another room while we cut it. He went crazy nuts over the melon. He would cry and dig at the door. We couldn't eat ours without giving him something. He even ate the rind. If we left the melon inside a cabinet, he'd open it and eat the entire thing within a day. If we placed it in a bag to ripen, he'd eat thru the bag & then eat the entire melon. We placed it in a drawer to ripen, he learned place his paws thru the handle to pull open the drawer & then eat the entire thing.

Kenny can sniff out chocolate at 100 yards - even if it's wrapped in a plastic container. He's not interested in fruit, so we can leave that out, but generally sweet things attract his attention much more.
