the setup We have two cats: little black one will not let a chance to mooch food go past; big furry gray one won't pass up a chance for attention (unless he's hiding under the bed from something).

the event I go to the kitchen to slice some cheese for bedtime-snack. It's horseradish cheese. Black one shows up, demanding as usual. Gray one follows, not gonna miss out on anything. So, meanie that I am, I give each one a little sliver.

the outcome Gray one gets his nose within a half inch of it, then recoils as if he's run into the trampoline o' evil. Guess he doesn't like horseradish. Black one is more persistent: she keeps sniffing away at her sliver, as if there must be something there that she'll like. It's just hiding behind the horseradish, maybe... Meanwhile, I make my escape.

I'm so bad.
