I had a cat once that brought home a barbecued sausage. It was still warm….I’m convinced he stole it off someone’s backyard grill when they weren’t looking. He was a VERY food motivated kitty - former stray who would bolt any food you put in front of him, no matter how recently he’d been fed.

He was also a typical orange cat (one brain cell). Had a call one time from someone a few streets over who begged me to come get him, as he was pawing at her closed glass sliding door, convinced that it was his house. Fortunately she could read his tag with my phone number through the glass (she was allergic to cats). When I went to pick him up, he thought I was taking him away from HIS house, so he was not happy….until he got to his real home, then he trotted happily inside. Sigh, I still miss him and he’s been gone for years.

What an adorable doofus. I had a cat years ago that was much the same with food. She once lunged at and ate raw onion because she was convinced I was keeping her from a tasty treat. The look on her face!
