    This was the case with my cat for a while, until I let her have a sniff of my pulled pork sandwich, and she took a big bite and ran off.

    I came home once to my cat on the kitchen counter and my ex holding a spice bottle up to the cat’s face, cabinet door open. “What are you doing?” “Letting Max smell the spices.”

    He was just standing there, opening one bottle, letting the cat sniff it, then closing it and putting it back, grabbing the next one, and so on. The cat just sat there waiting and sniffing. For over an hour and who knows how long before that.

          Surprisingly, Lake Van and vehicle vans appear to be etymologically unrelated. Apparently they originate from entirely different language families and geographic roots:

      Agreed; I always let my cat smell things that I’m holding/working on because they clearly are interested in what their human is doing. That way he can get a better idea of what’s going on and feel like he’s helping.

      It goes both ways too:

        Ole time in my life, I lived in a house with cats. I got into the habit of showing whatever I was holding to them when they came to check if I had food. They’d sniff the thing, decide it’s not edible and go back to more interesting cat business.

        Then I lived in a house with dogs and had to unlearn that because if you show something to a dog, they’ll probably just take it to chew whether it smells edible or not.

    I had a dog that I tricked into eating a tomato once. He wasn’t pleased, but after that he stopped begging. He would come up and ask to smell and see my food. If he wanted something he would let me know and I would get him some. If he didn’t he just moved along, disappointed, but we had an understanding.

      My sister’s dog loved tomatoes. I was picking cherry potatoes in my dad’s garden and would toss them to the dog. He gobbled them up.

        and that is the disgusted one:

        I have to add that the disgusted one for the first time in her life actually accepted an offering of a nice slice of ham a few days ago, so she might be changing her opinion slightly.

      Ha, one of my dogs loves apples and recently took to pickles. I’ve never had a dog that was interested in pickles before.

      Sounds like you need to start a veggie garden to keep your doggo happy!

        I don’t think pickles are too healthy for dogs because of the sodium. You should check the ingredients first before you feed them to your dog.
