Dooks all! I got brave last night and tried making some chicken gravy. (Not exactly Bob's recipe, but close. Thanks Sandi for the ideas.) Well, my coffee grinder (which hasn't been used for coffee in years) made quick work of the kibble, the chicken is on the stove cooking--and I can't find the bottom (motor) of my blender!!! <G> 10:30 at night and I call my mom to borrow hers, no problem! (Got a dirty look when I walked in the door, but so what? Furkids first!) Get to grinding, minus bones--don't want to kill mom's blender--kibble goes in, and who comes running? Not the ferts, the cat! Harriett got the first taste, and gobbled it up no problem. Next came Lightning, *gulp, gulp* and his is gone. Thunder, PeaPie and Tubbs (also known as Tub o' Lard) were a completely different matter. They got a small syringe full whether they wanted it or not (and they didn't). All this time, the cat is trying to kill me by tripping me. Fill up the syringe again and offer it that way. Not happening. Dribble it on the floor and lick, it's gone. Baby wound up getting a couple of syringes full on his kitty kibble. I think he ate the bowl! Or else he got so enthusiastic licking it, it's behind the washer now... Just a little something to brighten everyone's day! Blessings and healing thoughts to the sick and angeled fuzzies (and humans).
