Today, whats on the Monkey Menu? When I go to the market I check the cat treat aisle for anything new. Cat treats, affectionately referred to as Cat Crack in this house, are a serious matter. Serious, as Monkey is the ultimate finicky eater. The treat drawer is littered with rejected varieties as proof of his proclivities. The Monkster will only eat the Temptations brand and only select flavors. He will not eat any company produced medleys. If there are to be any flavor combinations they must be hand prepared by Mom and can only contain his absolute favorites. Just try serving the commercially bagged medley and they end up on the floor. On the most recent trip to the market I found a new flavor. Cheezy Middles. Its described as a tuna grilled cheese sandwich. Worth a try, I brought one home. As I was opening the Cheeszy Middles during our nightly treat ritual, Monkey leaned over, took a whiff of the barely opened bag, and went crazy. He wrapped himself around my wrist and howled. In my surprise a few treats dropped to the counter. Monkey covered them with his body. I turned to see if some giant cat was standing behind me. The smell test had obviously been positive. The taste test? How could he tell? The treats were inhaled. Not even a crunch. I couldnt get the treats on the counter fast enough. Monkey snatched the bag. From that moment forward travel in the Maven household has been restricted. We can no longer move through the kitchen on our appointed tasks. Monkey now blocks the door with his body and in his strongest Siamese voice demands a treat as payment to pass. Not just any treat. The new tuna grilled cheese. Needless to say, the Cheezy Middle bag was empty in two days. Yesterday, on his way home, Mr. M stopped for groceries. As I put the them in the pantry, I found three packages of the Cheezy Middles in the bottom of the bag. Monkey told me not to come home without them, Mr. M answered my quizzical look. Yes, give Monkey an inch and he thinks hes a Ruler. Come back with my Tiara!
