I've just seen the movie -and terrified by the acting and MUSIC especially- and that detail came to be so wierd but funny though. It's a moment that you feel she's trying to fill the emptiness and loneliness in her life with the relationship she builts with her cat and the rituels she's developed in that old room of hers.
By the way, I watched an episode of "Coldcase" last night where a serial killer was choosing "lonely girls with cats". Bree might have been be an inspiration for that story. -

Jane mentions in her autobiography that it was tuna, however on the side of the can I could clearly make out a picture of a cat's face.

It was probably actually tuna fish, but it was clearly supposed to be cat food in the film. I was struck by that when I first saw the film, and wondered about her reasons for doing it. I do think it gave added insight into the character of Bree, her difficulty of finding intimacy with people, and the bondthe only connection with another I saw in the filmwith her cat.

No, it was clearly tuna! Come on folks. Many, MANY people feed their cats tuna right out of the can. To assume that Bree is eating cat food is just plain silly.

When I saw that scene i just knew someone would mention and post this on the messageboard of IMDB. And here it is indeed! The spoonlick strucked me as well but that is just because we're probably conditioned to think a cat always gets cat food.

I thought ewww. I feed my cat cat food and am quite repulsed by it.
Having read this thread and realised it might have been tuna I looked carefully at the scene. It's definitely tuna. It had a chunky tuna consistency. Cat food is more pasty.
Thank goodness for that.
The thought of anybody eating cat food makes me gag. -

Saw the film last night with my wife and she noticed it straight away. Eew! She gasped. (I missed it). If she was told to lick the spoon I somehow understand. Her job was to lick much worse so what is a lick of cat-food from the spoon used for carving out a meal for the only thing she really cared for?
