Boar's Head has another fan.

We have what we think is a 14 year old cat. He was rescued from the mean streets of Island Park. Learning that cats are obligate carnivores and eat only meat we are finding out some interesting things about his preferences in human food. He loves Boar's Head deli meats. His preference is for roast beef but chicken or turkey will do in a pinch. What is so surprising is that even though the usual supermarket my parents shop in doesn't carry Boar's head, the cat knows and will not eat any other line of cold cuts. I did an experiment one day to see if he could tell the difference. I gave him Waldbaum's non Boar's Head turkey and bought a small amount of Boar's Head turkey from a local deli. I placed them side by side and it's as if he could read the package, he devoured the Boar's Head. Actually, I prefer Boar's Head too.
