She Could Stand to Have Some Ham

Lulu is like my little Royal Taster. She loves to hang around the kitchen when I'm cooking, and she always has a lot to say about what I'm doing. Whenever she seems interested in my food, I let her sniff it and sometimes she'll have a little taste.

Today I was making a Monte Cristo for lunch, and there she was, meowing her head off. I let her sniff a little snippet of ham, and at first she wasn't so sure about it. As soon as I told her ham was like bacon, she stood up on her hind legs and started to beg. What a riot!! I just adore this cat.

By the way, caption contest winner was another longtime cat lover, Pepper Cory! Congratulations, Pepper. Your prize will arrive next week.
