Long green things

[desperance]

So I was standing there at the chopping-board slicing up a courgette, as a man very well might who was planning on making a courgette-and-manchego tortilla for his lunch; and Mac was getting excited, stretching up and trying to claw himself a piece (I swear he's grown, since he arrived; he didn't use to be able to hook a paw over the edge of the chopping-board, I'm sure), and we had this whole conversation about how courgette is not cucumber, and I know he likes cucumber but a courgette is not the same thing at all, for all that they may look alike to an eager little cat, and didn't he have a nose, couldn't he smell the difference...?

And like that; and then of course a piece fell on the floor because that just always happens, and -

Yup, you know what I'm going to say. You have always known it.

Nom-nom-nom.

Add courgette to the list of Mac's Favourite Veggies. Actually, you can add zucchini too, that may be cheating but it'll give us something beginning with z, which is always a thrill.

Did he not get the "Obligate Carnivore" memo sent out from headquarters on 22 March inst., or did he get it and not read it? Or did he just think they were having him on?
