Right now I'm in the Baltimore airport on a layover. I'm eating some crab and shrimp at a local restaurant. It's reminding me of the time when I worked at Ft Hood. I met people from all over the country then, including a big huge army guy who had a cat that he loved. He was asking me what cats could eat. Specifically, could they eat some human food?
"That depends," I said. "They shouldn't eat a lot of things like butter, or bacon fat."
"What about crab?" he said.
"Crab?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm from Maryland," he said, "and I love crab. Sometimes after I go home I bring some crab back and I share it with my cat."
Suddenly I got a vision of this big, huge guy sitting at the table sharing his crab with his cat. And I thought, crab is mostly protein, a little bit of fat. Perfect food for a cat. Plus the thought of him sharing this delicacy with his cat, who is also from Maryland, was too much to bear.
"Yeah, there's no problem with that," I said.
And I stand by that statement.

I love my cats but neither of them will ever get their hands on crab when I'm eating it.
Interestingly enough, neither has shown interest in it, though if I open a can of tuna fish, that's another matter...
