By the way, speaking of ham? The other day we saw some reference to somebody being "quite the ham" and V. asked, "so... that's from 'Hamlet' right?" Which I never considered before, and I guess is right. Or if it isn't, it should be. Dramatic! Acting! Hamlet! Ham!
My cats are weird, they're the only cats I've ever owned or known who don't like ham. The other cats I had, you only had to say the 'h-word' for them to think there was a hammy treat on its way to them. And they preferred the industrially-created 'wafer thin' ham, made from assorted pressed pig parts. Ugh! I think it was something about the texture and that it was easy to eat without too much chewing that made it so irresistible to them.
