I've been tempted to do that with "Precious" sometimes.

Was it special "cat" tuna? It needs a vitamin added (taurine?) to make
it fit for cats. "People" tuna is not good enough for cats except as an

I had a cat one that fished. He would wade out into the pond and stick
his head in the water and catch little catfish -- like a bear catching
salmon.
