Your cats like their food warmed up too? God, and I thought I had the only
feline royalty in the world! God forbid I get one of those large cans and
stick it in the fridge. Even if I heat that up, after it's been opened
once, they won't touch it. It's like they *know*.

You just made me want to throw up. As I have trouble keeping food
down as it is, please cease and desist about heating up cat foot.

Cats do not like cold (dead) food. Reheated canned cat food would
leave me nauseated for days. Buy small cans. Better, good quality
dry food.

Mine get both. But in the winter even room temp is too cold for them.

Cabrito, they now make Bounty paper towels with Dawn (dish soap brand) added...would

Certainly not, how long has this abomination been on the shelves?

Cabrito, I think it is fairly recent...I got a promotional coupon at KMart about a momth
ago, but haven't seen it on the shelf yet.

I happened to see this particular show. Seems putting in a pot of boiling water does warm them BUT washes out a lot of flavor. warming in an oven is fine but often dries out the crab meat. This micro way is quick and supposedly flavor not lost.
