i would be annoyed too!
reminds me of a conversation i had with 1 of my friends about cat food when we first got candy, i was saying how awful it was that you couldn't get decent kitten food in supermarkets only 4% meat stuff, she agreed with me saying it was all crap, i mentioned a few brands we were thinking of getting, she'd never heard of any of them so i asked her what she fed her 5 month kitten, her reply was asda cat biscuits
candy is my baby

could never see her as 'just a cat'
