Tasty Human Flavor
While buying food for my cat, I noticed that the Temptations treats he loves now come in a new flavor: Tasty Human.
So it's like Soylent Green as cat food?
I suppose this will give him a taste for human flesh, which will make it even more likely that he'll eat me should I drop dead in the house.

Snerk. Halloween kitty treats. Funny stuff.

I thought that the description of humans should be "soft on the outside, crunchy on the inside".

Now I have to dig out all my old Temptations records.

@KDP: that's true of all mammals, though. All tetrapods, in fact. The advertised reverse is, instead, true for arthropods. So maybe kitty is having lobster Thermidor?

Mmmm...lobster-flavored cat treats. They should indeed make a wider variety of cat treats. Maybe call them Greenies Decadent, or Temptation Supreme, like they do with dessert-flavored yogurt. I would totally buy squirrel-flavored and pigeon-flavored dog treats. Especially if they use the surplus squirrels and pigeons in our city to make them, call the treats Street Treatz (in neon '90 style lettering), and draw a breakdancing dog on it.

@Yudith -- I read some time ago that the reason you see videos of kittens with chicks and of dogs with baby bunnies, and they're all playing nicely together, is they don't recognize each other as predator/prey. For dogs, it takes only two generations of never killing a meal before mothers stop teaching pups "eat what you catch." The instinct to hunt/chase is still there, pups just never learn what to do with something after they catch it. (For cats, it's four generations.) Hunger, aggressiveness of the prey, and other factors can make one kill a chick or a bunny, and once they taste blood, it's a whole new ball game.
The reason I mention this is that it's assumed dogs and cats don't associate the smell of animals with the smell of their meat. They might love squirrel-flavored food, but they wouldn't make the connection with it being what they chase in the park.
