A grange hall near my home built in the 40s, was a popular local dance place into the 70s, has a sign up on the wall that says 'No Gatoring', due to a dance that was popular with boys in the 50s.

Difficult here with an elderly cat who is thin and only eats dry and the young girl wants to eat all his dry food and consume all food, wet included. Moved my girl to Science Diet food weight control a few weeks back and she loves it, hoping for the best... monitoring food is a job in itself.

i've never seen animal house! there are a lot of formative-type movies i've never seen.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm

People attribute Gatoring to Animal House, but it predates that. A friend told me it was a fad in the 60s and lots of teen clubs had to ban it for some reason.

otis, i am lucky to only have one cat. he's still fairly new to our household though. and it took a long time to find something he would eat regularly, so we got a bit outta balance. we bought him this garden greens variety wet food, and he can't get enough! it's crazyyyy!

broccoli makes me nauseous. just the smell. Science people say "broccoli haters are reacting to compounds called glucosinolates, which are also present in brussels sprouts and other so-called cruciferous vegetables. Some people taste these as intolerably bitter"

So you guys like it because you CAN'T taste it. I'm like a super-taster!

Mr Fab, you should be a sommelier. Do you also hate cilantro?
