Why didn't you just lick the spoon clean? My grandparent's had a huge tomcat named Whizzer (in honor of the football star and Supreme Court Justice, Whizzer White). Whizzer was tough and mean. Really tough and mean. He would kill cats that were foolish enough to challenge him, and he wasn't afraid to battle dogs, either. Whizzer had to be well over 20 lbs of muscle. Whizzer ate Puss'n Boots, a truly rank, fishy-smelling cat food. I never saw Whizzer turn down a meal. This was not a finicky cat. One of his favorite tricks was to sneak into my Aunt Betty's house across the street, and pee on her television. This was in the '50s, when televisions weren't exactly cheap. She'd yell at him, threatening to cut his miserable hide off while he was still alive, but Whizzer would just glare right back, and casually saunter off. He wasn't Betty's favorite cat.
