I love the Sainsbury's Spinach and Ricotta Pizza.. low on the tomato base sauce and lots of ricotta and spinach.
So its not surprising I have a couple in my freezer for a rainy day... like today...
Since I don't like eating if my baby hasn't, I made sure her FAGAIL chicken pouch and a treat of Solitaire Chicken were dished up for her since she's been so good all week on her diet. She generally only eats half the FAGAIL so I wasn't worried about her having too much.
Now, you have to understand... Lexy LOVES the Solitaire Chicken Terrine. When I say LOVES... I mean LOOOOOOOOOOOOVES it! This is her after she's had a bit:
(indulge me please, the story gets interesting!)
So here I am sitting in the living room enjoying my pizza when Madam Lexy chirps next to me. Sits on the floor looking sorry for herself. Now mind you, I did see her walk in the room licking her lips so she had been eating her favourite chicken!
So this is how the conversation went:
"What's up baby? You had your dinner? You likes you chicken don't you baby? Yes you do!"
"Miaowwwww....prrrttttt" Blinking her eyes at me, a little paw on the sofa....
"You don't like mommy's food baby, its people food"
"ppppppppprrrrrrrtttt"
Jumps on sofa. Now when I eat I always tell her off if she cadges for food from me, no bad habits in this house.. noooooo (yeah right)
Anyway...
"pppppprrrrrttt! Miaooooooooowwww"
"ok baby, just to prove you won't like it, I'm letting you sniff this spinach ok, and you'll see you aren't interested....ok?"
So I dab my finger in the spinach, and give her just a little knowing full well she will sniff, turn her nose and jump down. Well the little moo eats it!!! So I think to myself.."maybe she just tasted the cheese in it" and think no more of it.
Lexy sits on the sofa and watches me.
"Baby... go away!"
"prrt"
At this point I finish my pizza and there's a bit on the plate mixed with spinach and ricotta mixed in..pizza all gone just that little bit.
I put the plate on the coffee table. I always do this because Lexy is well behaved. She never climbs on the table.. and I do mean NEVER.
So I turn to pick up my glass, and there is the little moo on her hind legs lapping up the spinach and ricotta mix! And licks the plate!
So her diet is shot to
today and I hope that spinach won't do more than give her a little run in the
Madam is now in her radiator bed having a kitty wash....Life is good....
