Fancy Feline to Eat Expensive Cheddar

May. 26, 2005 - It's a case of the cat that got the cheese. And at a price.

A British cheese company said Thursday that a small piece of their special blend of extra-strong cheddar cheese, branded "TNT," had sold on Internet auction site eBay for $278.

"It works out at more than $916 a kilogram, so that's an expensive piece of cheese," said Richard Clothier of cheese company Wyke Farms of Somerset, southern England.

And Clothier said the successful bidder, known only by his eBay login name of "Huggysdad," plans to feed the pricey cheddar to his cat.

"Huggy is apparently the name of his cat, who loves cheese," Clothier said. "He has obviously got lots of money and just wanted his cat to have the best cheese possible.

"I'm slightly offended that someone would feed our best cheddar to a cat, but if you pay $916 a kilogram for it you are entitled to do what you want," he said.

I'd be offended too. It's like me auctioning off a very expensive $1,000 piece of Star Wars collector's item... only to have it trashed by the buyer's 2-year-old kid!
