Chris, cats do have a way of getting themselves spoiled. And then there's that cattitude. 😎
I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well and I hope you get better soon.

Thanks, guys. I have a lot of serious health problems, and have had some of them since childhood, so I'm not ever going to feel 'better.' Its more a matter of some days are good enough I can function and others I am in pain and tired a lot.
I shot these yesterday afternoon. Sneaky was sulking in his cat tree. He did finally get steak later in the evening at dinner time!

Dinner on the grill last night. Sneaky got his steak AND chicken!
The plate started out with a heaping pile of steak and chicken; Sneaky has already eaten most of it.
Licking his lips
He didn't leave much; he's going to be mad when we run out today!

Chris, Sneaky has certainly come a long way since his previous life of neglect!
He does still need to eat cat food, however, as muscle meat alone won't provide him all the needed nutrients.

I know that; he eats cat food every day. His favorite is chicken hearts and livers in gravy; it looks and smells like vomit, but he LOVES it.

Chris, I saw an article recently that told how pet food manufacturers make efforts to minimize the olfactory impact of their products upon humans.
If they didn't have to worry about this and could allow pet food to smell as it should, pets would like it even more!
It sounds like Sneaky's favorite, chicken hearts and livers in gravy, must be right at the limit. 😛

The only cat food that smells good to me is tuna. My cat loooooved it! But it wasn’t something which health-wise I should be giving too often. But there were days my cat’s food smelled better than mine did!

What's wrong with tuna cat food?
(I've been feeding my cat a salmon cat food - that actually looks like salmon - so I'm wondering if you know something I should know.)

Tuna cat food is fine, but the canned tuna they sell for humans has a lot of salt in it and isn't good for cats.

I thought the mercury content of tuna would be an issue. Maybe I’m wrong. I checked a few web sites and it seems tuna-flavored cat food is ok.

It probably would be if you fed a cat tuna every day, but maybe not. Mercury causes cancer after long term ingestion of small amounts, like what is found in fish. Cats generally live 10-15 years, so they likely die of other causes before they've accumulated enough mercury in their system to kill them.
My mom fed her old cat Simba a can of human-food tuna every day and he lived 16 years.

Dry me off!
Where's my food?!?!
Yesterday morning, I made these photos of Sneaky after he came inside with wet feet and legs after staying out all night. Of course, he was STARVING. He jumped on his "Feed Me" stool so I could dry him off, then moved to the counter where he stared at me with FEED ME eyes while I took pictures instead of serving His Excellency his breakfast.
Not my fault he refused to come in all night, despite my repeated attempts to get him to come in! Weather is too nice now to waste indoors

Sneaky recently discovered this narrow little shelf built in to the wall just inside the back door of my house. Now, His Excellency sits on it to signal to his human slaves that he wants the door opened so he can go outside. I finally got a good photo of him sitting there a few minutes ago.

After passing their last days on Earth, two dogs and a cat arrive at the Pearly Gates, where God will question them to determine whether they are worthy to enter Heaven.
The first dog, a German Shepherd, comes forth before the throne of God . "Have you spent your life in a way that makes you worthy to enter Heaven?" asks God. The Shepherd replies that he was loyal and obedient, and protected his master from harm. "You may enter!" says God.
The second dog, an English Sheepdog, comes forward to the throne. "Are you worthy to enter Heaven?" God asks. The Sheepdog replies that he was a loyal and obedient servant who guarded his master's sheep every day. "You too may enter Heaven!" says God again.
The cat then appears before God. "Have you lived your life in a way that makes you worthy to enter Heaven?" God asks him.
Replies the cat, "First off, you're in my seat..."

Very true. Though I've known a few who would have said that to the Devil, not God, lol.

Sneaky enjoying an afternoon nap. All he has done today is sleep and eat!

I swore to never answer to or even engage in Cat threads. Okay, forget about it: Sneaky looks like a piece of gold. Living with two cats myself, well... it can get a bit tedious sometimes to have them meowing on the porch at three o'clock in the morning begging to be let in - and fed; or bringing home living mice and chasing them in the living room, or walking over the keyboard while I'm typing on RFF, but if I'm exhausted or even blue, one of them will switch to cuddling or lap-resting mode immediately. One of them also keeps walking with me and Heidi, the Havanese, on the dog round.
Thought that life without a Zeiss Ikon was not worth living but cats deserve that in the 1st degree (while wives deserve in the the 0th, of course).
Go, whatever you like to go for, Sneaky!!!
