MY WEDNESDAY WORD

I actually chose my own word this week after I heard it during a commercial break ~ mine Mommy was watching the news on her computer and all of a sudden there was a meowing computer-cat jumping on a kitchen counter and a computer-mommy opening a can (I know that sound), and I heard that computer-mommy say ~ "here bootsie, this is supper fit for a gourmand, just like you, bootsie baby!"  

So, I said to mine Mommy, "I'm your baby, right ... is my supper fit for a gourmand, am I one of those, what is a gourmand?"  And she said, oh yes you are!  Gourmand ~ the kitty who takes great pleasure in eating, the kitty who has a hearty appetite, the kitty who cleans her plate and leaves not a crumb.  That's me!

Unfortunately, she went on to point out that at my last visit to Dr Vet, I weighed in at 14.56 pounds and was notified that my ideal weight is actually about 12 pounds and again, unfortunately, in the very near future when much of the food in my cat food drawer is used up it will be replaced by different foods of lower-calorie counts and I will likely see smaller servings on my plate at each meal as we work together (together?) to restore my now plump little body to the healthier and better weight it was last year!  

Apparently I do not need to add the word gourmand to my voCATulary after all.  Sigh.
