Hehe, the cat we had when I grew up was completely and utterly obsessed with home made apple pie, she knew that she wasn't supposed to get up on tables, and even fish or meat was something she could resist, but not home made apple pie.

Cats fucking adore butter. They don’t care for sugar or wheat, but they’ll go buck wild for butter. Sounds like you made proper pie!

My big fat ginger loves cornbread and has once destroyed a cornmeal bag.

My brothers cat was a feen for persimmon, the sister cat didn't care for it at all

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean “fiend.”

[–] xylol@leminal.space 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Feen" is slang that means to want something obsessively or to have a strong desire for it.

fiend An evil spirit; a demon.

I guess both would be correct

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, what a good rabbit hole!

I use fiend in exactly the same way: “I’m fiending for a cigarette,” etc.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I actually did put fiend in originally but when I went to search to make sure it meant what I thought it meant it kept popping up as meaning something else, so I kept searching until I found feen haha

I mean, I’ve gotta assume that they’re related, but I’m always happy for a new variant.

I sweat all day at work, my cat LOVES when I come home as a fresh salt lick
