Re: OT: OMG, we have a zoo

In article , Picked up a stray cat last night. Hoot immediately tried to kill it. I've got her in a spare bedroom. The poor thing was wandering down Berry Road. I found her on the way back from a quick shop. I will get her to the vet tomorrow. She is a sweet thing. She seems grateful for anything. So now we have Missy, Shelly, Raymond (whose family is supposed to pick him up today) Hoot and the nameless kitty. She is a very odd color. Orange, black and white. Someone has loved her. She is declawed and I'm guessing she's been spayed. She is very snuggly and eats a ton of food. She is very fragile at this point but I can build her up. So far, she has not bitten me, unlike Hoot. Hoot is so strange, she gives these little 'love' bites but sometimes they are big bites. Cats are strange animals, but I love 'em. Okay, how long before I introduce the new cat into the household. They all know she is here. They sniff at the door. Maybe I should wait a couple of weeks. I'm doing nothing else these days. I'm not sure what to do. Ob Food: I have not even thought about it. I have 5 animals to feed. I'm thinking pot roast and for breakfast some SGB. I may have to buy tuna for the kitties. It has been a long time since Hoot has gotten tuna. She will be the ultimate ingrate. Bless you Michael for taking in this poor little kitty. Declawed means that she had no defenses. Be sure to make sure she has her shots and stuff. the vet or the humane society can scan her to see if she is microchipped. I have a soft spot for torties and calicos myself. My beloved and now elderly Maya is a tortie (black and orange, no white). My household has recently been increased by my taking in a sweet little abandoned kitten with calico ears and a Siamese body. I thought the introduction would be easy as Maya had stopped growling at Maggie under the door (kitten was in my back bedroom for a week - occasionally let out when Maya was shut in the office, or outside taking the air). However, there has been hissing and drama as the old girl stands her turf. I will still bung the kitten in the back room to give Maya a breather (and the kitten will be in there at night for the foreseeable future). I'm really getting used to the change of energy level ... Maya is fifteen and mostly lies around the place sleeping. Maggie is fairly mellow for a five-six month old cat (the vet looked at her teeth and pronounced her adult canines in) but she's still a kitten. who could resist that little face? equal opp for Maya ObFood: Maya is a bit off her feed, so I'll have to get her some baby food chicken, some cat tuna from Trader Joe's, and call the vet about the "calories in a tube" for her. The kitten eats everything. I've been working off a big pot of curried lentil soup* for lunch, but am going to make some "soybean stuff"* and try apple pie with pastry made in the food processor. I think I mentioned that I got a surprise gift of my late grandmother's deep dish pyrex pie plates. I haven't had much energy to cook because I am adjusting in to being back at work and the cats are taking most of my evening time. I sit and read with Maya on my lap as she stands her ground.

Never heard of "calories in a tube", sounds like something that Sadie, my

Nutrical. Some cats love it - others hate it. Vet should sell it to
you OTC.

They aren't easy to find, Lady! If I saw a "real" one up
for adoption - I'd go for it in a NY minute.

It's called Nutri-Cal. It's malt flavored goo, like Petromalt. Ask
your vet. Cats adore it. Of course at this point all the qat fud in the
house is hi cal kitten suitable food so Maya is keeping her energy up.

If you know in advance and want company, I live walking distance from
Spanish Table. Fun place. Hope you were at the B-Bowl at some time not
the weekend, it requires endurance to fight through the crowds then!
The Cheese Borg is still one of my all time favorite places.

Margaret has vetted. She is fragile and week, but outherwise, healthy.
How's she doing??

This one is a bit on the Siamese side. I really like her. She sneaked out
last night. Caused a huge ruckus.
Hah. Maggie has some Siamese, I think. She's got a voice on her when she
wants to use it.
I must say that I am amused when Maggie decides to try to "hunt" Maya. I
have been picking white (Maggie colored) fur out of the old girl's claws
for a few days now. Go Maya.
Right now they're both napping on the futon in my office. Awwww.

I did pizza last night. Nothing special, Fresh mozzarella, canned
tomatoes, onion, garlic and some fresh basil. Made the crust in the bread
maker. It was good. I threw the basil in the dough.

Well, pie dough with the FP was pretty good, although I left it in the
fridge for a couple of days and it really dried out. I made apple pie
with powdered ginger.
I had an "accident" with the soybean stuff - got a phone call when I was
boiling the liquid down and the pan got burned badly. As this was my Le
Crueset French oven, I got to work with a large box of baking soda. One
day later I had my pot back but no energy to cook. I finally got busy a
couple of days ago because the on-special stew meat needed to be cooked
and made a beef burgundy-style stew. I plan to freeze most of it.
I also just made up a batch of corn chowder based loosely on a recipe that
Trillium posted a while back. I had hoped to do it earlier - it's good
rainy day food and it was pouring here early this week - but it's still
pretty good now.
The other thing I have been up to is trying to practice cutting up
chickens. The cats like this, as they get the liver.
