You could just be moving the can from one shelf to another; as soon as it left the shelf, he'd magically appear, standing up on his hind legs like a solid black meercat popping up, patting at the air and meowing his head off.
Even when he had gone senile and it was time for him to go to the rainbow bridge, he'd always appear for whipped cream.

He also adored cheese.

Nov 2023

In my teens, I learned to just crack the nozzle open slightly so only the gas that pressuizes it came out. It was Nitrous Oxide, or something akin to that and it got you high.

Then one day mom tries to squirt some fro a can that felt full, but no longer had any pressure left in the can.

How I survived those years I will never understand.

I saw a nutritionist and she told me to cut the carbs and lose a few pounds and I may avoid taking drugs.
It is impossible to avoid carbs on Thanksgiving. I ate turkey and a little dab of everything else that was
high on carbs. Creamed corn, macaroni and cheese, dressing, gravy, potatoes, pecan pie, pumpkin pie with
whipped cream. There was nothing that wasn't loaded with carbs. I am going to change my diet from now on.
have a nice holiday weekend.

Fri Nov 24, 2023, 12:40 AM
Nov 2023

He turns up his nose at any other people food except for an occasional bite of shrimp or chicken. If I offer him real whipped cream or ice cream, he looks at me like I'm trying to poison him. But when he hears that spray can, he's at my feet, demanding his fair share. And you don't say no to an 18-pound cat, lol. This is the culprit:

Sat Nov 25, 2023, 10:53 PM
Nov 2023

But he's my brat and I wouldn't trade him for the world. He wants what he wants when he wants it, especially my attention. When I'm using my laptop, I perch on the edge of the couch because the laptop is on a stand next to the couch. When he wants attention, Otis comes up behind me and punches/shoves/nudges my back with his front paws, and not gently either. He's got me well-trained, so I have to lean back so he can sit on my lap. He's a mama's boy and very affectionate. I got him as a tiny 6-week-old rescue kitten and now he's a 10-year-old, 18-pound behemoth and I love him. And it's Reddi-Whip or nothing.
