Doubly delicious

The warm weather continues - hooray! In fact I dare to say HOT weather as today has soared to a balmy 23 degrees! It's so  great; there is not a cloud in the sky and I am in my hammock in the warm shade at the top of the garden. The plants are all in bloom, birds are singing, and Tom is lying on the grass batting at insects with his paws. Far away in Paris, Andy Murray is playing Djokovic in the final of the Patis Open. This is the life. 

Speaking of Tom, we have had an issue with cat food recently. Tom and Ruby like nothing better that a packet of Whiskas Double Delicious cat food in jelly. It is neither the cheapest not the most expensive cat food, and they both like it. They have their own etiquette when they eat. Whoever arrives first at the cat bowl gets precedence; it's bad form if the other one interrupts and a bit of hissing and scratching can ensue. However if they are both fed at once they are happy to eat simultaneously.

Anyway, Ally was at Tesco's with me recently and spotted a "bargain" - a large box of slightly cheaper Felix chunks in jelly. Foolishly I allowed myself to be persuaded by my thrifty son and the purchase was made.

Unfortunately the kitties soon made it clear that they disliked this inferior offering. Ruby wouldn't eat it at all, and Tom ate it with obvious distaste and several times vomited it back up in the upstairs hall. After a week I gave in and Tom and Ruby's dinners are "doubly delicious" once more.
