Default AHHH!!! A VULTURE!!!

When I first moved in here, I thought of installing doors to my kitchen
which has two entrances.
Never got around to it. But Rusty only jumps on the counter when I am not
in the kitchen and there is something that smells good.

I would probably cook more if I had a kitchen that had a door so I could
keep everyone out. Then again if I had a kitchen I could keep everyone
out of I'd likely be in there getting drunk on the cooking wine.

I was just making myself a sandwich. A delicious HAM sandwich.

I'm hearing a meow every now and then, but i don't see any cat or feel
anyone rubbing against me.

I'm about finished with my sandwich when i hear a louder meow and
suddenly out of the corner of my eye i spot a grey figure hunched over.
AHHHH!!!! I jumped back.

It was Mischief, the little vulture, perched on top of the fridge and
all hunched over trying to get a piece of ham.

I HATE it when she does that.

Lol! I have to feed the cats and put them to bed before we eat! I've managed
to train them not to jump on benches (well, unless they think I'm not
looking....) but the boys kiddie table is juts the right height for a
snack....and my youngest is, of course, totally helpless in the face of
attacking kittens, and will sit there and scream while they eat his food, so
i cook for the cats first, then for us! My goodness they are spoilt....

Denise,

I'm not sure why, but your posts always cause problems in my news
reader. Does your news program insert MIME characters into your posts?
I guess you're using Google? Maybe there's something on the site that
would tell you what's going on. I can't read your posts because of
those characters.

If I want to eat in peace, I better feed Rusty first.
Otherwise he would be circling underfoot looking for crumps.
One time he jumped onto my lap while I was eating Swiss Chalet chicken.
Guess the chicken smells so good to him.
I put Rusty to bed every night in his own room and close the door.
One time I forgot to close his bedroom door and he startled me by jumping on
my bed
at 3 am!

I alternate, depending on what we have. It goes roughly 'mince, chicken, raw
chicken necks'. i usually steam the mince and chicken, then mix with a
little vegies and rice. I know it's not recommended to feed raw chicken,
because of worms, etc, but I freeze everything before hand, and they have to
be wormed for every worm known to man because of where we live (including
heartworm and tapeworm) and the chicken necks are good for their teeth. You
should see the kitchen at dinner time!! All six of them sit there and stare
at me!!

Is there any reason why you don't feed them the mince raw? Heating it
destroys the taurine in it, which is essential for cats (their bodies
don't produc taurine, unlike e.g. humans or d*gs). I heat poultry for
the cats, too, though we haven't had salmonella or any other nasties in
Finland for years. Just to be safe.

Mainly as I was told by several people to NEVER feed raw meat. Possibly
because of worms, not sure exactly why. All meat I give them is bought in
bulk, then frozen and defrosted in the microwave immediately before cooking.
That's very interesting about the taurine. In that case, if it's safe
enough, I would prefer feeding it to them raw. In your opinion, considering
the immediate freezing/defrosting/consumption, would it be safe to feed
raw?? We also have no rabies etc here.
