Schubert loves fish-flavoringks.

William (in shark pajamas) loves fish flavoringks.

GACK

I just threw up in my mouth a little, Melanie H. :(

Shame on boy for stealing kitteh's water!: Jenn; | May 20, 2008 at 05:20 AM

Ahahaha, it reminds me of the photo where the baby is licking the pig. Gross, but super hilarious anyway :): Annie J; | May 20, 2008 at 05:26 AM

I think those might be chicken flavoringks, hence it tastes just like chicken!: metsakins; | May 20, 2008 at 05:31 AM

hoping hard those are frosted flakes in there: h.n.; | May 20, 2008 at 05:41 AM

Hey, if it's good enough for kitteh...: Babs; | May 20, 2008 at 06:03 AM

I hope they both have bowls of bacon. Then they would both be happy. I wish I had a bowl of bacon...: asdf; | May 20, 2008 at 06:06 AM

I wonder what Winston would say about that.: Katrina; | May 20, 2008 at 06:12 AM

I ate dog biscuits when I was a nipper and mud.: Hon Glad; | May 20, 2008 at 06:16 AM

Katrina: I believe Winston would claim "myerlw" and nom on the child to make up for the lost food. Food is important. and i hope that's all bacinz too.: Tinky; | May 20, 2008 at 06:18 AM

I've done a lot of weird things with my kitties over the years, but this tops anything that ever came into my mind.: chanpon; | May 20, 2008 at 06:20 AM

So, I wasn't the only kid in the world who did this sort of thing... That makes me feel a lot better! :-D: compy-saur; | May 20, 2008 at 06:23 AM

I like how the cat seems to think this is perfectly normal. To be fair, I ate dry cat food as a little kid also.: Space Cowgirl; | May 20, 2008 at 06:40 AM

Hah! This pic reminds me of being 2 years old and eating cat food. My parents have a pic of me lying on my stomach eating out of a bowl beside the cat ... but they replaced the cat food with puffed wheat. :) Milk-Bones were a decent snack too if I recall. Purina Cat Chow was a little too salty.: pounce; | May 20, 2008 at 06:44 AM

As a parent, there have been many times I've wished that Purina Child Chow existed.: Jaye; | May 20, 2008 at 06:45 AM

Kitteh: "You know, these 'Cheerios' things aren't bad." Kid: "Are 'Cheerios' supposed to taste like chicken?": ThreeCatNight; | May 20, 2008 at 06:45 AM

My cat is named Schubert too!: Camille; | May 20, 2008 at 06:46 AM

For a nice shiny coat of fur!: kawaii; | May 20, 2008 at 07:22 AM

Fish flavoring? I would've thought William had the shark-flavoring judging by the pj's. Mmmm Mako! I'm assuming that in reality William's bowl is full of round cheerio's or Kix, not kitty vittles. No calls to Children's Services needed. William does however, have an excellent piece of blackmail material if the need arises. "Whadja mean I can't get the new Nintendo and Rock Band game? Did I mention that I have a picture of me and Schubert for Show & Tell tomorrow? Bet my teacher gets a kick out of it." Jaye, isn't it called "Goldfish crackers?": Kar; | May 20, 2008 at 07:46 AM

10 or so years from now, this will be fantastic blackmail to show girls who come over ;): taj; | May 20, 2008 at 08:10 AM

I love to see kits and their kid-buddies! I also love the name Schubert! "This is The symphony That Schubert wrote But didn't finish . . . ": Theresa; | May 20, 2008 at 08:13 AM

While I assume Purina Child Chow would be highly useful for parents, as a college student myself I think Futurama was onto something with "Bachelor Chow".: Annie; | May 20, 2008 at 09:07 AM

I used to love that stuff, Annie. Only I mostly called it "ramen".: Theo; | May 20, 2008 at 09:12 AM

I think the Child Chow is the stuff in the blue box, with the packet of orange powder inside. [oh THAT... yeah, I'd been repressing that memory, bleccgh... - Ed.]: AuntieMame; | May 20, 2008 at 09:29 AM

LOL @ Ramen HAAAAA!!!!: ButtaRumCake; | May 20, 2008 at 09:45 AM

Yeah the blue box with the orange powder was def. child chow in my house. When a child shows up now, they have been given adult chow (which woud be Annies shells and white cheddar, wiht some brocoli cooked in.): metsakins; | May 20, 2008 at 10:04 AM

heh - story from a friend of a friend: FoF went to pediatrician to ask how to get her kid to stop eating the cat food. Pediatrician said, "Does he eat Cheetos? Cat food is probably better for him.": Ellen; | May 20, 2008 at 10:05 AM

There is a family story (oft told), that when I ate a meal in my high chair I would share 1 for 1 with the dog, and the dog made napkins unnecessary apparently, a la Winston. My pediatrician told my mother that I would be healthier for it and that I'd get more germs in school when I to kindergarten. I was an animal lover from a tender age. I was a 'nommer' of canine ears, too. A wonderful dog, Daisy. I was her puppy and food connection at the same time.: Katrina; | May 20, 2008 at 10:33 AM

Uh oh, Ellen - I'm sitting here eating Cheetos and reading this (blushes with shame). Thanks a lot! ;-) I've always wondered about cat chow but never been brave enough to actually taste it. Now it sounds like I should have done so.: prinbsn; | May 20, 2008 at 10:58 AM

My late stepfather, John, who I miss terribly, used to test the dry food and treats for the kitties. I have to admit, his taste was always in accordance with theirs (none of our cats like Iams, and John said it was because it tasted like wheat germ compared to other dry foods). We miss you, Johnny.: berthaservant; | May 20, 2008 at 11:37 AM

I bet my daughter to eat a piece of kitten food. She did it! Gack! I owed her 2 dollars for it...: momof2kitties; | May 20, 2008 at 11:43 AM

Naw, akshullii itz the kid whu wud pollewt teh kittehz fud but letz hoap knot.: jmuhj; | May 20, 2008 at 12:03 PM

I thought it was normal for children to sample food out of the pet dishes! Also I can't believe nobody has mentioned how that cat may actually be bigger than his human.: Chef Steph; | May 20, 2008 at 12:48 PM

Actually, when I was younger I tried a kitty kibble to see why the kitty liked it and found it tasteless.: Sharon Wilson; | May 20, 2008 at 01:05 PM

This picture has caused me to tewtelly forget about work and laugh my head off. (Look, there it goes!) I too, remembered the pic of the blondey kid licking the pig's nose. That one had me laughing for days! Can we start a category called "Blackmail: Open in 10 Years"?: ChitaDenita; | May 20, 2008 at 01:31 PM

I thought the kid just fell asleep on the floor. YOu mean he's EATING???!!! Gaagggg.: debg; | May 20, 2008 at 01:34 PM

As a toddler I ate those rainbow colored dog biscuits. Yup, I can still taste them to this day when I think about it.: Marie; | May 20, 2008 at 01:46 PM

Our puppers Rocky turned 1 year old in February, so we had to have a birthday party for him, complete with doggy birthday cake (recipe from Internets), topped with Milk-Bones. My stepson tried some of it! I asked him how it tasted, and he said, "About like I expected.": Noelegy; | May 20, 2008 at 02:06 PM

Wow, flashback to the '60s when my brother and I hid in a kitchen cabinet to taste dry cat food. We hated it. And we got caught. Amazing we developed triple digit IQs...: Aoife; | May 20, 2008 at 02:52 PM

I'm willing to bet that said child is a second or likely a third kid. Firsts and onlies get mom's head to explode by eating cat food while subsequent children get a "meh" or "oh hey, a way to save on the grocery bill!" My third kid could pop open a can of cat food, slop it on toast and fix up a side of timothy hay from the 'pigs and I'd be all, yeah...just make sure you clean your plate.: bev; | May 20, 2008 at 03:01 PM

This picture made me suddenly (and shamefully) recall how I used to enjoy the occassional snack of dry food from my cat's bowl. Kitty was named Trix -- silly kitty, MeowMix is for kids! I guess all little kids (I was 4 or 5 years old) eat weird stuff. I try to justify my childhood kitty kibble snack choices by telling myself that at least I was eating animal food and not paste or dirt.: televisiongurl; | May 20, 2008 at 03:12 PM

I read somewhere once (tm) about an Alaskan wilderness pilot, who said he always kept a bag of cat chow with him when he flew. He said if he crashed and had to go into survival mode, it was the most nutrition for the least weight of any food around.: Suda Nim; | May 20, 2008 at 03:25 PM

See, this is what happens when you get the family cat to house train your child. Awww... poor kid. TO be fair, i've fallen asleep in my plate too. Granted, i've never had my face in catfood before, but i'm still young.: Julz; | May 20, 2008 at 04:02 PM

My younger sister used to hand-feed the dog Gainesburgers. A bite for her, a bite for the dog, yuck.: Patty; | May 20, 2008 at 04:22 PM

Sampling Kitty Queen brand canned tuna cat food when I was very young (circa 1958 or so) is probably why I like sushi grade tuna steak now! The Kitty Queen canned tuna was the dark meat tuna, just like canned light or white meat tuna now, except for the color and the intensity of the tuna flavor. I was a child gourmet ahead of my time then, I guess ;-) Don't think I'd ever try the "crunchies" though....: kittymom; | May 20, 2008 at 04:54 PM

heh - story from a friend of a friend: FoF went to pediatrician to ask how to get her kid to stop eating the cat food. Pediatrician said, "Does he eat Cheetos? Cat food is probably better for him." Smart doc. He is very right. There is a family story (oft told), that when I ate a meal in my high chair I would share 1 for 1 with the dog, and the dog made napkins unnecessary apparently, a la Winston. My pediatrician told my mother that I would be healthier for it and that I'd get more germs in school when I to kindergarten. Another smart doc. Small doses of germs regularly administered helps build good immune systems. My family joke is that you have to eat a 1 cup of dirt by the time you are 5 to build immunity from "everything": Mary; | May 20, 2008 at 04:58 PM

@Patty: I was gonna ask if anyone remembered Gainesburgers! I don't think I ever tried any weird food....I was (and still am to a great degree) the pickiest of eaters. @Bev: ROFLMAO!!: Gail; | May 20, 2008 at 06:01 PM

*hangs head in shame* I too, have tasted food meant for cats. Back in the 70s, there were cat treats called Cat Crackers, which were shaped like little people. I just couldn't resist trying to find what the cats saw in them...: NutherDeb; | May 20, 2008 at 06:56 PM

I ate Purina dog food when I was a kid. When I was in college, I stupidly tried a Pounce cat treat (hey, it said it was "yogurt flavored"!), and it was disgusting.: alita; | May 20, 2008 at 08:02 PM

check that the kiddo can still not keep his lil finggies out of the kitteh dish... so funny.: scooterpants; | May 20, 2008 at 08:28 PM

Umm, just read that they've been finding salmonella in dry pet food. Perhaps a little bit of salmonella will make you more immune in the long run but I don't want to find out myself.: cassie; | May 20, 2008 at 09:58 PM
