Great examples of the word. Someone actually made it into a cat food? I would never buy that for my cat or any cat. Who knows what ingredients are strewn throughout the food.
They probably threw in the kitchen sink!

It's another of those old sayings. I think it pretty much has the same punch as kit and caboodle. I'm sure you know that. Not because of your age, mind you ( a little smile break there) but because of your mind. ;) :)
Speaking of crunchy, it would be better for your male cats. It's best to feed dry cat food. Wet cat food isn't great for male cats when fed on a regular basis. You may already know this, but in males, it promotes urinary tract infections.

OMG! Nevan, So Did I !! I pictured a kitten carrier from the old days like a wicker basket. I came to that conclusion because I heard, "Kitten Cab-oodle."
I rationalized it as a little kitten cab to go anywhere you were going. Why you would want to take your kitten to the market, the dentist, the movies, or just in the car, I'll never know.
It was the only definition I could find in my mind.
For you to have heard the same thing (with a better definition but still,) and you being a smart guy in a jacket and a tie, I don't feel as goofy. Big winks and smiles Thanks Nevan B!

I looked it up too.:) I figured I was old enough to finally cement my definition it was a kitten cab with an added oodle. Much to my dismay, I found the Exact same answer your last two say. It's a good thing kitten cabs aren't in demand. Luckily, I have never had the opportunity to use the word. I might start, however, now that I know the true meaning. :) :)

One of my mother's favorite sayings was, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
I always wondered why a person would buy a cake that he couldn't eat?
Now that means you can't enjoy both of two desirable but mutually exclusive alternatives.
And while I learned that in philosophy, I never connect the phrase with that meaning until much later---and figured that remark about the cake was kind of silly.
