Hello Gershon … most of us just don’t know what we’re missing out on. Meow Mix might be better for us than meat pies. It might just be the label that concerns us - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Did no one ever paws to explain - To the gent who came from the Ukraine - Meow Mix is for cats - Or was it he heard that - It goes down purr-fectly in the main…… Belle

I ate meow mix regularly until someone told me what it was. Nowadays I’m on Waggie Pooch complete diet. Yum! Fun poem, Gershon. Terry

Waggie Pooch can't hold a candle to Alpo, Terry. Seriously, try a can (of Alpo). It brings out the beast in man! ~ Poor Rina

Not an uncommon acquired taste for people who have known great hunger. Well said, Gershon.

Odds are there was more lean meat in the Mix than in a supermarket's meat section ......

That's right. Probably better than hard potatoes (raw) every day. Peace, gw

Oh my! Did you point out to him that he was eating cat food??? I guess if a person is hungry enough and nothing else is available....nope, not even then for me. This made me sad, gw.

Someone else pointed this out to him... And, Milt, you'd be surprised how good it tastes when you're hungry. ~ gw

The guy had no idea it was cat food. He saw that it was sold in the supermarket and that it was cheap. Perfect combo for a guy with no money from Ukraine in the 1990's!
