I don’t know about you but I’m in a party
mood as we are ready to start our season of “summer garden parties” here,
across the pond! As you can see in the photo attached I have the glasses and
silverware ready but I’m having second thoughts about the menu! Should it be
“finger food”? Buffet style? Mixed with my humans? They are big on summer
parties. I’ve already invited few of my neighbours but I didn’t decide on the
menu yet! I’m thinking maybe some lizards, grasshoppers (even if I’m afraid the
humans will eat those as there is a real push for it in changing humans’
protein source) and, of course some juicy mice!
The problem is that there are
no mice around! You see, I live in a posh neighbourhood and mice are a “no-no”
which will make them an absolute delicacy, an ultimate extravagancy on my menu!
If I go for having mice on the menu that means I have to stay up few nights in
advance and eventually wander off my neighbourhood in search of fresh mice! By
the way, do they freeze well? What do you think George? Should I be eccentric
and adventurous or should I let my humans cook and then just share their
barbecued meats with my friends? Hmm!
Tough decision!
Your advice, please!
Yours….in good party mood

Dear CAT Victoria,
In order to get your humans working properly, the easiest solution would be to share barbecued food of the kind they, not you, are used to. Many of the neighbourhood cats will enjoy stealing a hot sausage off the charcoal and levanting over the garden wall. Or just giving that wonderful feline imploring eye, which induces humans to cut off a bit of meat and hand it over.
Most Western humans are still uneasy at the thought of serving insects, reptiles and rodents - though these are on the human menu elsewhere in the world. Locusts in sugar are sold in the Far East and guinea pigs are enjoyed in South America.
If you must have mice, get your humans to buy these from a pet shop where they sell frozen food for snakes. You can choose from pinkies (no fur), fluffies (just a little fur) and big furry ones. My human once served these to me when I was temporarily anorexic and after defrosting they tasted just as good as the real thing caught in the garden.
Yes, mice freeze very well. But, even if you can stockpile mice bringing them into the kitchen, can you purrsuade your human to freeze them? My human just throws them out even before I can eat them!
Yours
George
PS. I have added a photo of my friend Tilly stealing a slice of dry bread.

Summer and BBQ, yay the season is finally here!
ReplyDeleteMiss Tilly' photo is priceless! To go through all the trouble of stealing ...from up on a counter... a slice of stale bread? Too funny! I'd like to eat bits of every single carb my humans have: bread, pies, pizzas! So yummy! Why cats crave carbs if they are carnivores?

Thanks for sharing this post I'm very intersted in this topic.
