Cat sense of taste
Lynettea was busy with her wildlife blog http://www.bloglines.com/blog/lynettea-wildlife and she found something she thought would be interesting for your humans. We kitties already know it, but you can get your humans to read the article.
'Sugar and spice and everything nice hold no interest for a cat. Our feline friends are only interested in one thing: meat (except for saving up the energy to catch it by napping, or a round of restorative petting) This is not just because inside every domestic tabby lurks a killer just waiting to catch a bird or torture a mouse, it is also because cats lack the ability to taste sweetness, unlike every other mammal examined to date.'
