My cat is a very bad eater (doesn't hate his food, just doesn't eat enough). The other day he was s c r e a m i n g at me while I ate a piece of cheddar cheese*. I bit off the tiniest corner (like 2-3 mm wide, seriously tiny) and gave it him. Never seen him go so wild at a piece of food. I fear I have created a cheese monster and will never know another moment of peace while eating cheese.

*Low-lactose cheese is okay as an infrequent treat. It's the lactose in milk that's bad for cats.

I was making a macaroni cheese and had just grated the cheese, turned around to put the block back in the fridge and when I turned back, Greebo was face down in the cheese munching his way through it. I stopped him and because of the lactose thing, checked with the vet who said to look out for constipation or diarrhoea but he was fine, and I was a lot more careful after that.
