What’s in the bag? Human food, Sir Jimi. Culinary shrimp salad and outstanding traditional French cheese. No can do, my little sneaky furry friend. I’m not hiring an official food taster.
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
It was worth a shot. 🙂
Haha… yes, especially after finishing a cat meal and wanting a little dessert.
😁
Jimi knows a good thing! Can’t blame him for trying… 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend ahead, Herman and Jimi!
Hi Lavinia. I know Jimi loves shrimps, just like his human.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend! Jimi sends his regards to all the cats of the Farm!
He’s only looking out for your best interests – making sure the food is up to standards.
Haha… I guess that’s a good conclusion. Cats are well known for being good food tasters…
“Shrimp? Cheese? But but but…” Kitties love those two. Loki and Sasha are cheese heads and have to have a spot of cheese every night. On rare occasions when I cook shrimp, all the cats want to indulge.
Jimi loves shrimps, just like I do. I haven’t tried out if he likes cheese. Mr. Bowie didn’t like cheese at all.
Our kitties like mild or medium cheeses, but their favorite is a Mexican cheese blend of Monterey Jack, Medium Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla and Asadero Cheese. I think our cats a spoiled.
Well, do not exaggerate, Tim, spoiling is something else… that’s me having too many chocolate early in the morning!
But looking at the list of cheeses, the cats will be having a great time…
My Apricat used to stick his head in the grocery bag and eat the lettuce. Go figure.
The cat of my Mom ate just everything, it was sometimes so funny to see her eat pineapple and other fruits. The sweet cat lived for almost 19 years.
Jimi’s nose tells him something wonderful was in that bag…..Teddy really doesn’t like “people food” at all – we often have shrimp and it’s the one thing Ted can smell and “desperately” wants so I will cut up ONE into small bits and it’s a huge treat for him. He doesn’t like cheese but some cats love that as much as WE love chocolate Herman! Enjoy! Stay happy and healthy please.
Hugs, Pam (and Teddy too)
Hi Pam. Mr. Bowie also didn’t like human food. He only wanted his cat food and a few treats. He loved to check out what I was eating but he never wanted a piece of it. Jimi seems to love everything in my kitchen…
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Stay safe and healthy!
Cats have universal knowledge of the sound of a plastic grocery bag, LOL. Funny thing, mine always begged for shrimp — loving the smell. Yet they refused to eat it. Wishing you, Jimi, and Bowie a purr-fect weekend. Hugs.
Hi Teagan. So true, Jimi recognises immediately the sound of a plastic grocery bag and he showed up within a few seconds… So funny. Jimi just loves to share ‘his’ shrimps with me, guess you can say I’m lucky…
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
A bag on the floor calls for investigation & delen is zorgzaam, Ja? xK
So true, Kelly, we have a saying ‘sharing is caring’, especially when it’s about food and chocolate!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Cats are soooo curious, Jimi must know what you are bringing to his house.
I guess Jimi is keeping an eye on me to be sure I’m in a healthy condition…
Jimi says that you don’t have to hire him. He will gladly volunteer his services. MOL! XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
Thank goodness I don’t have to pay him! I can spend the money on cat treats and chocolade…
Leave some for others, Jimi, but do please, sneak a little
I guess you can say that I’m lucky Jimi’s is sharing ‘his’ shrimps with me…
Indeed, that would be a suitable attitude on the matter.
I fully agree…
Cheeky boy! I am quite fortunate that Louis Catorze is utterly indifferent to human food. I often joke that I put my dinner on the floor, just because I can.
Mr. Bowie didn’t like human food but Jimi loves everything I’m eating. He loves my yoghurts a lot.
My kitty boys generally aren’t interested in human food, but they do need to know what’s in all the shopping bags I bring home from the grocery. Todayt, Andy got interested in the leftover pizza I had for lunch.l I had to intervene before he put a paw on the piece I intended to eat next. It didn’t surprise me, though, because he did the same thing the day before when I had the pizza fresh. Jimi is right, though. You never know that the bag isn’t full of kitty delights unless you take look!
Hi Doug. Jimi (and Mr. Bowie too) always love to checkout what’s in my shopping bags. Bowie didn’t like my food but Jimi seems to like everything I’m eating…
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Likewise, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Herman! “Skritches” for Jimi, too.
Thank you, Doug. Consider it done, Jimi sends his regards!
Sounds good to me…MOL😸Clean Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend. Stay Safe Healthy and Yourselfie🙏🐾😽💞
The shrimp salad was delicious, I’m going to buy it again next week…
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Stay safe and healthy!
Maar hier en daar een potje uitlikken moet toch kunnen he ?
Platte kaas en yoghurt potjes mag hij af en toe uitlikken, en hij doet dat super graag…
Herman, your post gave me a good laughter.
Glad you liked the post, Cornelia. I was laughing myself to see what Jimi was doing. I feel we’re getting closer, you can still see he’s adapting to his new home and me.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Indeed, Herman it takes time for a fairly new cat to adopt to it’s new home and his “masters” routines and likings. Have a great Sunday my friend.
Thank you so much, Cornelia!
Fortunately, the kitties here look through their own bag and not the people bags. 😉
Normally I don’t leave a shopping bag on the floor, Jimi was fast as lightning to check out what was inside…
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend, David!
Meanie!
…and one hungry sneaky little devil!
He was just checking to see if you had brought the essentials: chocolate, coffee and cat treats. Maybe he missed another bag with those in…….I hope you are well and happy and have good weather coming, to get out in your garden!
Thank goodness someone is watching my back to see I got the right stuff in the shopping bags. Jimi’s enjoying his time outside in the garden and it looks like he already caught a sparrow but I’m not sure. I don’t like cats catching birds and mice but hey, that’s what happens in the nature.
Thank you for your tweet. Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday, my friend!
It is their nature to catch things. That’s good that he likes the garden. I hope it’s warm enough for you to be out there a lot. Our cold nights will be over soon, and then…..on with the garden! Enjoy your spring and stay safe.
Yes, we’re also looking forward to the warm spring and summer days.
And yes, it’s also in my nature to go after chocolate and catch it!
Stay safe and healthy, my friend!
I keep trying. But many places here are going against government orders and opening things up before there’s good control. This will prolong our problem. 😕
There will always be idiots around us. I’ve seen people having secret bbq’s in my neighbourhood with a lot of visitors present. It makes me feel so sad…
Some people just don’t, won’t, see the dangers in this disease. It makes it so bad for everybody else. 🤬
So true, and such a shame…
😔
Perhaps Jimi was only acting as your taste-testing food inspector, ensuring it was safe for you to eat. Protecting you, like a good guard cat.
Or not.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, Herman!
Hi Mary. Thank goodness he leaves my chocolate stuff alone… But I’m always sharing the shrimps with my little furry friend.
Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday, my friend!
Stay safe and healthy!
hahaha But are you sure the shrimp were OK? Better let Sir Jimi check! 😀
Little Monkey “helped” me unpack the shopping once. When I went back out to my car to fetch more bags, she ate the mince pies out of the food bag on the kitchen floor – including the foil trays! 😀 😀
Well, looks like Little Monkey was very very hungry… 🙂
The shrimps were delicious, Jimi fully agrees…
Oh LM was always able to eat Anything! 😀
And I;m glad the shrimp were tasty. 🙂
I’m going to but them again next week… Jimi will be happy too! 😉
🙂

Ha ha
Yes, Jimi’s reaction was very funny. He was probably very hungry at that moment… 😉
I love cat curiosity…all new things are adventures for them 😻☺️🤓 peace and joy your way Herman 🙋♀️💫☮️
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Hedy! I guess it’s something like me checking out new flavours of chocolate… 😉
Hope you’re having a wonderful week!
Ha ha no furry food tasters required! 🙂
Thank goodness he didn’t opened the little box with the shrimp salade… Jimi doesn’t believe in leftovers…
Our dog does the same thing every time we get back from the grocery shop… so funny!
Jimi loves to check out empty shopping bags too, it seems he loves to take a nap inside… Such a funny little boy…
Baggage check lol…cute cat…
Welcome on HoB! Yes, Jimi always loves to check my shopping bags, even when they are empty…
Sometimes my cat does the same, inspecting what’s inside like a security guard. Hahahah
Well, be glad your cat is taking such good care of your health…
Food inspector!!! Salute!
Jimi’s taking his job very serious…
Welcome on HoB, Kally!
Thank you!!
My pleasure!
nice picture! https://thewalkershow.wordpress.com
Thank you! Glad you liked the photograph.
Haha naughty Jimi, I saw a funny video on twitter yesterday of a cat licking ice cream off a spoon and his eyes went wide as a saucer in shock!
Hi Charlotte. Mr. Bowie didn’t like my human food but Jimi loves everything I like to eat… especially shrimps. Thank goodness he doesn’t like my candy and chocolate! 😉
There are a lot of funny cat videos online. If I want some peace of mind when I’m stressed I love to watch them…
I’m not a big candy fan but chocolate and biscuits 🍪 that’s another story 😋
Well, once upon a time, someone told me chocolate is very good for your singing voice… 😉
That’s the perfect excuse, right I’m popping to the shop 🤣
If you have a passion (for chocolate), there is no need for excuses… 🙂
