Nipper, the corn-eating cat

Nipper, cat owned by Dorothy Brinn, likes to eat his corn in comfort. His mistress fixed up this skewer and Nipper uses it for about two ears a day. The cat, a corn addict since his kitten days, likes it best with butter.

Alex, I can't pussy-foot around it any more and I don't want you to think I'm saying this to butter you up but, this is a little too corny, even for you. :cheese:

Of course the cat likes its corn - everything is better with butter!

Two ears a day? Must be one regular cat!

Patty would cobble it up using margarine or oleo. Her cat Toby would just stalk around for it.

Toby doesn't eat people food very much. He begs but if you give him something he usually turns his nose up and walks away. I love that picture of the cat though!
