Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

This doesn't explain why our cats like ice cream

Why lions, tigers and cats don't have a sweet tooth:
Leave a cookie in a room with a dog and it will be floor crumbs upon your return -- but with a cat, the treat will be safe.

Scientists say they have now unearthed the reason for the feline's utter indifference toward sweet-tasting goodies: The gene for its sweet taste receptor is riddled with errors and does not work.

Our three will lick ice cream bowls clean. Maybe they just want the cream and not the sweet part?
