WOW, you ate all that?
Well, it was Thanksgiving, after all, and mama came home from the house of friends and reported that a good beef stew cooked for 12 hours overnight is a pretty good substitute for a turkey, roasted 4-5 hours or so…
But, she missed the cornbread dressing, as it’s called in Texas (stuffing, to everyone else, haha), and the cranberries. BUT…there was a wonderful potato torta made by a guest and an out-of-this-world pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
HAH–I wasn’t there for that, darn it!
But I did get a little chopped chicken with olive oil garnis and a piece of cheese.
As for the saga of The Pill—NO WAY was mama going to give me that OR the other thing, Meta-something for inflammation, when she tasted the pill herself and read info about the Metacam (its name, I remembered) that said it might damage kidneys!!! Hey, we’re going holistic in this house, if I have anything to say about it.
And the question of wet or dry food is coming up again, wet food not being good for teeth that need something to exercise upon, like kibble. Or a T-bone, haha.
Maybe there is just too much info on the internet…
I’ve been suspecting that for some time now, along with mama and papa.
Plus I love my kibble.
Still…I was sort of used to Purina en gelee.
Oh, well. Open to ideas.
BUT NO MORE BIG PINK PILLS, YOU HEAR?
The idea that dry food helps a kitty’s teeth is a fallacy. Wet food is better for us kitties…though we do like our crunchies occasionally. 🙂
Okay, mama is listening. I had lovely chicken stew with a bit of olive oil this morn. Nummy.
Well, does that mean another shot? Bet those leftovers helped a LOT! And kibbles? I LOVE them – and any time I get anything fancy like a doggie paté, you can bet they’re hiding something in it! HA – and they think we don’t know? Well glad you got some Thanksgiving goodies – moi? NADA – since mama forgot it was Thanksgiving and papa made a tortilla (full of onions and chorizo). I will go on a hunger strike, maybe for an hour. Strikes are big in France.
You know, I think you should have a doggy blog because your comments are so FUNNY and wonderful and yes, striking for an hour should do it. Of course, THEY will probably not even notice!!! Maybe steal THEIR lunch, haha.
Loulou, maybe you and Mya can co-blog. Kind of like a talk show on the tv or radio and you can banter back and forth. But wait! You already do that anyway! We’d just like to see some pictures of Mya.
Oh, boy, am I going to have fun today. I’ll put some Mya pics on my blog. I wish I had a video of her and the octopussy going at it. Her favorite toy. And she DOES have terrier in her.
I made cornbread stuffing with cranberries in it 🙂
OH, drool and salivate all at once!!! What a good idea. My mama’s mama used buttermilk, sage, stale cornbread, onions, celery, small garlic, toasted pecans, a little chili powder, butter, olive oil, and bound it with eggs before stuffing and roasting. NUM NUM. Bug next time: CRANBERRIES!
I do believe that dry food is better than wet food for healthy teeth.
Two of my cats enjoy a sprinkle of parmesan. Why not.
Loulou, don’t cry over your Purina pâté. It’s rubbish in the long run. If you ever long for it, just think of the BIG PILL!
All the best, sweet Loulou.
Sounds like a movie—wish I had thought of that title THE BIG PILL…thank you so much for your opinion and I think kibble, it is from now on.
oh my! You should have come to my niece’s Thanksgiving, I made delicious homemade cranberry sauce with mandarin oranges, cinnamon sticks and an entire bottle of wine!! Like you, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cornbread stuffing (with sausage), but they didn’t have that….(I should have made it!). As for kibble “exercising” teeth, they say that isn’t true. I give Cody wet AND dry food. He gets wet morning and evening and he gets kibble in between (and his Temptations treats)
Well, that’s what I get, too, and now mama is torn between all-kibble and both. How are Cody’s teeth? Cody probably didn’t have the troubles I had from those people who abandoned me without caring for my pearlies!!!
Well, some cat had a good Thanksgiving. That stew sounds pretty good. You didn’t get any of that? Well, you did get something. We had our usual kibble.
