Riddle me this, mateys...

Go ye to any establishment that sells "cat food," examine the selection offered, and think about these questions:

How many cats do you know who have taken down a full grown cow?

How many cats do you know who have taken down a turkey, or even a chicken?

How many cats do you know who have scored a tuna from a deep sea fishing boat?

How many cats do you know who have successfully swiped a salmon from a rushing mountain stream?

Not many, Captain Jack wagers.

So why do the major cat food manufacturers offer flavours like "beef", "chicken", "turkey", "salmon", and "tuna and ocean whitefish?"  No feral cat around these parts would be familiar with such things!  Surely "Citrus Rat Surprise", "Lizard Kebabs", "Cockroach Clusters", and "Gecko Fritters" would be far more suitable for the local feral market... but then again Captain Jack is only captain of a pirate ship, and not a captain of industry.
