That's exactly what it looks like, but gjetost doesn't exaclty look like cheese...<BR/> I discovered it, umm, let's see, OMG <I>twenty-seven years</I> ago. It is a <I>whey</I> cheese, which is whey it's so strange. It takes gallons and gallons of whey, boiled for dheys and dheys to make a little cube of the stuff. The honest to God authentic Scandawheyvian types start with a mix of goat and cow's whey, but the Nortwhey Americano type mhey be just from cow's whey. <BR/>Gjetost is WHEY tasty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26703962.post-33436812153333706162008-11-24T07:18:00.000-08:002008-11-24T07:18:00.000-08:00Walter--Correct, it's cheese!

Tastes a teeny bit like caramel and goes great with Fuji apples.<BR/><BR/>Melissa--We wish we knew for sure what causes these things. In veterinary dentistry, we don't worry about how pretty the teeth are...we only worry about health and comfort. If we could prevent these lesions, we could save a lot of cats from pain.<BR/><BR/>Lisa--I almost didn't post that picture of Seamus waking up, he looked so pitiful. And yeah, veterinary types are terribly emotional with our own pets. I know folks who can't even watch their own critters under anesthesia, it's too upsetting.<BR/><BR/>We use the "kitty roca" phrase, too...it cracks me up.<BR/><BR/>Seamus thanks you all, and wants you to know he's back in full force pestering everyone in the house!Christine Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350760019997430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26703962.post-16704685615480236902008-11-23T20:46:00.000-08:002008-11-23T20:46:00.000-08:00I'm quite familiar with that old raiding-the-litte...I'm quite familiar with that old raiding-the-litterbox trick. Our scotty used to do it. We called his snacks "kitty almond roca". <BR/><BR/>You're poor little guy looks so sad with his tongue hanging out. Glad to hear he's feeling better. And it's good to know that even professionals get emotional when it comes to their own pets. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26703962.post-262705925950256952008-11-23T12:12:00.000-08:002008-11-23T12:12:00.000-08:00Wow.

Fletcher-fans SCORE!<BR/>You realize that when you post a case you are taking a great risk that I will jump on board with the TMI competition. But I will restrain myself (This time). <BR/>"We have no idea what causes them" - The latest crackpot theory is oversupplementation of commercial cat foods with vitamin D<BR/>"helping himself to my lunch." What the heck kind of cheese is that? I figure it has to be cheese 'cuz apple slices with sliced luncheon meats would be just icky and any of the other possibilities wouldn't be attractive enough to a cat for the 'ol snatch 'n run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
