I have a 12-pound foodaholic cat named Rocky. I learned early on to never, ever leave any food on my kitchen counter, because Rocky is on that famous "seafood diet", i.e., he sees food and he eats it. One night I baked some chocolate chip cookies that came with caramel topping. I watched those cookies like a hawk while I waited for them to cool enough to drizzle on the caramel. After adding the caramel to the cookies I made a critical error: I went to check my email “real quick” and got sidetracked.
Soon after, Rocky sauntered in licking his chops. Uh-oh. I raced into the kitchen to see the cookie carnage. To my surprise, the cookies were all still there - but they were licked clean of every bit of the caramel topping! Rocky didn't suffer any gastric consequences from the sugary caramel, but I did make sure to brush his teeth with the "kitty toothbrush" I keep on hand just for him.
I love my foodaholic cat!
