I'm a gourmand and a lazy one. If I go thru the effort to open a package, I'll probably eat the whole thing. I'm trying to get better at portion control, but I'm many months in and my instincts are no better, and I'm less happy.
Only success I ever had was envelope budgeting calories. You've gotta approach it like your instincts are already broken and hopefully if you're not type 2 diabetic yet you can fix it before you are and your hormones are also broken on top of your instincts. Trying to fix it after getting diabetes is much harder, because now you're not only wrestling with learned behavior but an actual dysfunctional metabolic system.
I find that one can of tuna is just about the right amount for one meal of tuna salad for one person (if you're not having it with anything extra, like bread).
Sekhmet seems more appropriate, though depicted with a lion's head not a housecat's.
Sekhmet acted as the vengeful manifestation of Ra's power, the Eye of Ra. Sekhmet is said to breathe fire, and the hot winds of the desert were likened to her breath. She is also believed to cause plagues. (Wikipedia)
(Yes! I couldn't remember the name & I wasn't sure anyway, but I knew Bestet was depicted as kitty so in my laziness of not wanting to do one single search I went with the safer choice)
So I'm a total pet-drug-pusher. I had a cat who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half) so I gave her a milliliter a day. My dog today needs peanut-butter like it's the ambrosia of the gods. It's a small treat every once in a while.
Out of respect for your friends of fur, allowing them a small dose might enhance their enjoyment of life a bit, especially since we are social beings who enjoy sharing a meal with each other. And unlike half-and-half, cats can actually digest tuna.
My cats are dum though. I'll crack open a can of tomatoes and they freak out thinking it's dinner time. I let them sniff it, but then they look confused.
Same when I'm getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.
Oh, man. The amount of times I'd exasperatedly repeat to my cat "it's beans!" or someone similar and let them smell the can I'm opening. I know you know this doesn't smell like tuna, you fuzzy idiot...
I trained my cat to eat plain chicken by tearing off little pieces and any time he didn't go for it I'd make sure he watched me eat a little. Do that, offer him the other half of the piece I ate, repeat a few times. Now he knows whenever there is a new food if I'm trying to give it to him and I take little bites that he should try it too. It's a lot of fun
"Jones" is an American slang word meaning to be addicted to something, so "jonesing" for something means to crave something very strongly, and generally very vocally.
"Breve" is a coffee drink that is commonly made with half-and-half, which is a product that is equal parts cream and milk. I assume that people have taken to using the term to refer to half-and-half itself, but I've not personally heard that.
So the sentence is saying that their cat was addicted to half-and-half and would act like a junkie doing anything to get their next fix.
I remember eating a can of tuna in front of my cat, she stood on her hind legs and emitted the slowest plaintive meow ever. She must have win awards for best begging kitty ever.
I used to have a cat that generally wouldn't beg for food unless I made something with tuna. Even then he wouldn't beg while I was making it but I would find him sitting on my desk in the other room (where I ate) waiting for me when I got there like "hey whats that".
you've never pulled your phone out and snapped a quick picture? hell,i think most people would already have it in their hand when eating alone these days
It's even faster if you have a gesture set up to open the camera app. I dunno why people get so suspicious of people being able to snap a picture quickly these days. It's a simple practiced skill.
That's ridiculous. Fish have haptic neurons. The ability to feel through the sense of touch is integral to kinesthetic activities like swimming, eating, and sexing.
