Ashton: This is kind of embarrassing. Why are you showing photos of me for National Junk Food Day?
Especially that grainy, old photo of me laying in my food tray, waiting for a dish?
Sure, it’s well-established that I love chips. Corn chips, potato chips. Crackers, too. Those are kind of like chips, but they make an even bigger mess when I run off with one and eat it on the sofa.
And bagels… oh, I love bagels! If you don’t have a bagel, that’s okay, just give me some cream cheese. I’ll even go head to head with Pierre to get some of that good stuff.
Speaking of good stuff, I also love broccoli. When are you serving that at the big table again? That may not be junk food to you, but it is to me. As an obligate carnivore, I don’t need broccoli. But I sure do love it!
So tell your peeps that it’s time to break out the treats — or the chips or the broccoli or whatever you have as junk food around your house. It’s National Junk Food Day, and we should all celebrate!
Note from the head peep: Don’t worry, despite what she thinks, Ashton is going to get a little extra grilled chicken breast today.
Ashton: I heard that! We can’t let this day pass without a proper celebration! Celebrating eating is a feline tradition! Don’t make me give up the traditions of my people to live with you.
Bring on the broccoli!
Are you going to celebrate National Junk Food Day at your house?
Hannah and Lucy says
Broccoli isn’t something we’ve ever tried Ashton but we hope you get some every day if you love it.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Ms. Phoebe's Mom says
MEWOW if you see brocolli as a treat, I wish I could be more like you Ashton. I will be celebrating National Junk Food Day for sure, as you see everyday is junk food day with me! Clove and Kaspars will be allowed to celebrate with a teaspoonful of vanilla ice cream for Clove and a potato chip for Kaspars, their favorite junk foods. I hope you score with some brocolli!
The Island Cats says
Ashton, we like how you balance the bad thing like chips with good stuff like broccoli. We’ll make sure we celebrate National Junk Food Day appropriately.
JB says
Mom won’t let us have much junk food any more. We eat lots of chick-hen and meats!
Random Felines says
hmmm – don’t know about the brocolli thing, but we will demand some extra treats when mom gets home from work!
Crepes says
Broccoli? Hmmm… no, not us. Rocky tried to eat a cherry last night, though, and gave up.
Melissa & Truffles says
National Junk Food Day sounds like a holiday well worth celebrating!

Ellen Pilch says
We shall celebrate with some cheetos- some of our kitties like them too, but we only give them little crumbs.
Kitties Blue says
Ashton, is that a raspberry for hearing that your junk food is going to be chick-hen? That is so funny about the broccoli. Our angel Thelma loved the little bit of water Mom uses to steam the broccoli. She used to go crazy as soon as the broccoli was removed from the pot, and Mom had to make sure she didn’t burn herself. She also liked mushrooms. We never get anything junky to eat unless something gets dropped on the floor. Thanks for visiting on our 2nd blogoversary to celebrate with us! XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo p.s. to Ashton: You should join Cat Scouts. We always have the best noms! Purrs, Mau
William says
And us without Cheez-Its! Do *not* tell my sis what day it is!
Quinn, Carol, and Catitude says
OH, CAROLINE~~~~~~ (snicker, snicker).
I like spinach.
Cooked in souffles.

Mr Jinx loves food too. In fact he begging for some right now! But he generally only likes human meats. Now Annabelle, she likes just about anything dairy, but somehow I feel broccoli isn’t on her list! MOL
Spitty the Kitty says
Huh. Broccoli? I don’t think food should be green.
Cathy Keisha says
Whoa! wonder what kind of junk food I’ll get. Yesterday was National Ice Cream Day but I didn’t get any. The peeps don’t share. They may be cats.
Brian Frum says
Happy Junk Food Day sweet Ashton!!!
Fraidy Cats! says

Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
Maxwell, Faraday & Allie says
Ashton, mom sez she coulda gone AL DAY without knowing what today was!!!
She sez she’s gonna keep telling herself broccoli is a junk food, and then go eat some. Yeah, we’re not holding our breath over here either….
Katnip Lounge says
We would KILL for some crappy kibble…the grainier the better!
Kitty Cat Chronicles says
I know a few kitties who would love to celebrate Junk Food Day – with pizza, popcorn, and chips. Maybe some ice cream too…
Savannah's Paw Tracks says
well The Kid Sage will eat just about anything on the peeps’ plates…maybe even broccoli!
