To buy pre-grated cheese for the cats and toshout at DH for not getting why I did so?

The cats go mental for cheese - particularly value range/smart price cheap pre-grated cheese.

So I bought them some. So they don't hassle me every time I open the fridge. Or for when they do hassle me so I can give them a handfull nice and quickly and easily.

Stupid fuckwit DH (who hasn't given me any sympathy over my broken toe serious painful injury) doesn't get it and keeps chuntering about 'wastage' and 'rod for my own back' and 'idiotic sorftness'.

is he being a stupid git or not?

YANBU - I have had both a broken toe and a needy, cheese-loving cat. My sympathies.

BelleDameAvecBroomstick · 15/10/2010 21:06

YANBU at all. You could trip over a cat milling around awaiting cheese - it's preventative. Very sensible, I think.

PaisleyPumpkin · 15/10/2010 21:07

Doesn't it mean they will hassle you at the fridge now, rather than won't.
I don't know. Cats I've had have enjoyed cheese and I've always given them a little bit - not a whole handful regularly though.

my needy cheese loving dogs just read your post OP and they tell me they want to go and live in your house...

FlyingInTheCLouds · 15/10/2010 21:07

I think I'm drunk.

Yanbu, i buy chicken joints to boil for the dogs dinner.

ApocalypseCheese · 15/10/2010 21:09

Yanbu.

Cats get chicken and cheesey mash on a sunday in this house.

Your husband is obviously immune to the mind-control powers of cats and doesn't understand that bowing to the will of the household puss is not a matter of choice for his/her slaves. One day he may succumb and you will come home to find him serving said grated cheese to the real master of the house on a silver platter.

She likes cheese too but my cat can be at the bottom of the garden, nowhere to be seen, but within seconds of me opening some ham or bacon, or chopping up raw lamb for a casserole or something, and she's winding herself round my ankles like a bloody great big furry sex-pest.

ChippyMinton · 15/10/2010 21:18

YABU. Let then grate their own cheese if they like it that much.

GraveyardMistsAreYellow · 15/10/2010 21:19

Grin at pre-grated cheese. DH always buys it when he "cooks".

Omelettes Grin

YANBU and I love your character.

GoldenHaze · 15/10/2010 21:20

Errrm, except cheese (cows' milk) is very bad for them.

onceamai · 15/10/2010 21:23

YANBU but I feel guilty when I pay extra to buy it for macaroni cheese! :o

DoraBelvedon · 15/10/2010 21:31

'D' H also pretends not to take smalldog to bed with him for afernoon naps. I knowh=better theouhg. I know e takes him up. and I also know that when there is no pre-grated cheeses in the fridge he has been known to grate some specially and ten washing up the grater and pretending he hans't. He pretends that the cupboard love the cats and dogs show is real. I know better

and apart from keeping my glass filled to the brim with a particularly fine red he still hasn'r shown any sympathy with my broken bit. and it still really hurts.
