Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2007Island stories: Boxing match
We don't have electricity on the island, so we use gas for stoves and fridges. The gas comes in big metal containers or bottles, about half a metre (nearly two feet) tall. One of these containers was standing by the path to my uncle's cabin. One day, Miranda was stalking her brother Emil in the tall grass. She snuck up to the gas container and hid behind it, peeping out at Emil on the other side. A moment later they were both standing up against the container and batting at each other over it. One would duck down behind the container, and the other would continue batting at thin air. Then the hiding one would pop up again, and the batting would get more heated. They seemed to have a lot of fun. My camera wasn't in my pocket where it should have been, of course, so I didn't get a picture of their boxing match.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > We don't have electricity on the island, so we use gas for stoves and > fridges.

Oh, definitely. My mum tried to suggest that, next summer, I put up Miranda somewhere because it's so tricky at times to get fresh food for her. Of course, I shot down that idea immediately. How could I deprive her (or myself) of all that fun? It just wouldn't be the same. I don't think I'd last even a week on the island without the cats - both cats (and all the other cats that stay there, as well). SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I love going places, but then I miss my gang so much. And like a spouse or kids, you can call them to ask how they're doing. :) Joyce I wonder if she would like a food like Well, here we have a dehydrated raw food that you can rehydrate. If she liked it, you could take it with you. You could just ask one of us to buy it and ship it to you. http://www.naturesvariety.com/content.lasso?page=1440&-session=naturesvariety:D1 32154211b9f1BD65xnhu911498 They make this here in Lincoln. I could send you a bad and see if she likes it. >>> They seemed to have a lot of fun.

I suspect she wouldn't like this food, though, because there are a lot of ingredients. But I could look for freeze-dried meat. I'm pretty sure we have something like that here, though it might be too spicy. I'll have to look into it, thanks for the idea, Karen! SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I'll have to look into it, thanks for the idea, Karen! Or maybe you can find someone who has a dehydrater that could make it. Marina kirjoitti: > That's a very good idea.

I do remember feeding the d-thing I used to have dried meat and she loved it. It came in a 10 or 15 kg bag, brown bag with a dog head (I think?) on it... Found a web-shop selling dried meat, and it seems to be just meat, but you may want to check with the store... http://www.harminfarmi.com/shop/index.php?categoryID=299 Hold that, another site confirms this brand only contains meat and no additives http://www.kennelpakaste.com/kuivatut.htm They list retailers too, check the link from the main page http://www.kennelpakaste.com/ SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com > I do remember feeding the d-thing I used to have dried meat and she > loved it.

I'll have to try their product. I also just realised, mum's got a dehydrator. I'll have to ask her if she'll let me dehydrate some meat in it. She mostly uses it for mushrooms.
