When I open a tin of tuna I drain it into a kitty bowl and put it out for Timi and Buddy. Buddy is especially fond of tuna water and laps it up and then polishes the bowl. By the way, that is not a rose petal hanging out of his mouth, it's his tongue.
Spoiled cat and trained master. Tuna water indeed ! Cackle. A tongue you say? It had me fooled, I thought that you were spoiling him even more with adding an exotic element.
If I ever visit you then open up that tuna as our dog loves it. Buddy can have the water and he can have the fish!! There's nothing like sharing.
I open tuna about once a week for my two and pour the liquid over the dry food then add the canned on top ! Its good for them and keeps old cats healthy !
