I wear gloves in my own kitchen; a habit that comes from 14 years (almost half my life), of handling food professionally. I keep boxes of gloves in my cupboard and use them for anything I prepare in the kitchen.
I take my cats as seriously as my humans. I wear gloves to handle their food as well.
Lilo is impatient... you can see her butt and tail in the picture.
Oliver is very patient. He is waiting upstairs on his blanket, because he knows I will bring him his gravy in a few minutes. I never fail him.
I squeaze gravy out of the can 1st into a bowl for Oliver.
Lilo gets the "meat", which Oliver wants none of.
Friskees "with gravy" has the best gravy output of any canned food on the market.
Yes, I know this for a fact.
The cats have their own dishes and bowls; treasures from antiques stores, thrift shops, Target, etc, over the years. I clean them in the dishwasher after each use, just like I do the human's dishes.
