Is it "unjust" and "mean" to not let Pica lick (but not even eat) my mozzarella sicks?Facts:1. She has done this before2. She won't even eat them, just mouth them.3. She has a strong opinion about doing this.

Pica will NOT have access to how you voted in this poll! Please I'm hungry! I know she is very powerful...

@futurebird do you think Pica would accept a compromise of designating one specific stick for her licking activities, or is it essential that no cheese goes unlicked? :meowthink:​

@futurebird Is Pica a cat? If so, yes it is immoral. I asked my 3 cats and that's what they said. 😄

@futurebird access to any and all dairy (indeed, non specifically cat food) was revoked when I finally realized it was causing my cat to scoot her butt across the carpet all the time.

@futurebird I'm not sure about "immoral" but it might violate the Prime Directive if you consider mozzarella sticks and cats to be uncontacted, warp-incapable civilizations.

@futurebird If you weren't mean and unjust she might have nothing to complain about, which would be terrible.

@futurebird @lisamelton meh, mozzarella sticks aren’t even proper food for a cat anyway; not mean. It would be annoying when a past cat would be like that with smoked salmon though. Because it’s actually quite expensive but I gave her some anyway and then she’d do that.

@futurebird In my household we traditionally let all household members vote on these questions (with humans winning ties), and as children grow up and move out and as we get more cats the votes sometimes get a big dicey. For a while we had to play off the dog vote against the cat vote.

@richpuchalsky The ants always win every vote in our house— something I think I should have considered before putting the system in place.

@futurebird I would like to be the guy who doesn't get bent about a cat licking my food a little, but those cute little buggers have utterly filthy mouths.

@futurebird Colonies have enough members so that this really should be considered to be an international system, with each queen getting one vote as head of state. But they always vote against each other since they are always at least potentially at war. Just keep an even rather than an odd number of ant nests and you'll be fine.

@futurebird according to my cat, what you’re saying is that she is willing to risk her health to make sure you don’t eat a mozzarella stick that has gone bad and you don’t appreciate how selfless she’s being?
