It\u2019s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n

Zorro here. Ziggy and I love to eat. Mommy and Daddy buy us lots of good kitty food, but we have some flavors that are our favorites. Splash Dance is really yummy. So is Fowl Ball, Chicken Frick \u2018A Zee, Lamb Burgini and Funk in the Trunk.<\/p>\n

Ziggy is weird, though, because he likes to eat Mommy\u2019s vitamins. Mommy has to be careful to swallow them right away and not leave them beside her computer, or Ziggy will get into them. Mommy says he doesn\u2019t need them, because he already has too much energy. The few times he\u2019s eaten Mommy\u2019s vitamins, they didn\u2019t hurt him. But when we were in North Carolina last month, he got into Grandma\u2019s vitamins and threw them up all over her carpet. Mommy wasn\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n

Mommy and Daddy used to have a cat that was even stranger than Ziggy. He loved tomatoes. When Mommy would open the refrigerator door to get something, he would jump inside, grab a tomato and run away with it.<\/p>\n

But Mommy read something a few days ago that is the weirdest of all. She says that in a place called the Galapagos, grasshoppers make up half of the cats\u2019 diets. Ziggy thinks I eat grasshoppers, because I can jump really high. My favorite spot is on top of the curio cabinet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t eat grasshoppers. At least not normally. If a grasshopper got into the house, I would chase it and catch it. But even though I sometimes eat bugs I catch, I don’t think I would eat a grasshopper. They look too crunchy. I mean, check him out. Does he look appetizing?<\/p>\n

I don’t think so. Not to turn my nose up at what my distant cousins eat, but I think I\u2019ll stick with my yummy kitty food\u2026and tuna.<\/p>\n
