Mom brought me some grape tomatoes. For the last three weeks, I've been obsessed with eating tomatoes with salt and lemon juice. When I was putting away the extra grape tomatoes, one escaped, which Elphie promptly hunted.
Since grape tomatoes won't hurt a dog, I figured I'd let her play with it. Since neither of the dogs has ever been interested in eating veggies, I assumed that she'd play with it a bit, get bored, and move on.
Nope.
She pushed it around the living room with her nose, stabilized it with her paws, and began to gnaw. A few minutes later, all that was left of the tomato was the skin. All of it. She'd managed to eat everything but the skin, which seemed deliberately left behind. Weird, right?
Speaking of critters that eat weird stuff, here's a video of my friend Tanya's kitten, Chani, eating everything:
OMG- Chani is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHeh...one of my cats would be like Chani if I let her. I've seen her eat popcorn, yogurt, refried beans, and cantaloupe. On the last one, she licked it until her rough little tongue had licked away all of the flesh. I'd be willing to bet that she'd do the same thing to a tomato. :D
