Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2007WE HATE that!!!
so I went to the store and bought chicken wings for the cats, between Granby's description and a vegan friend who feels its important enough that she touches it I figured I would give it a try, thawed them handed them out, a few licks and then totally ignored!!!, Guess DH will realize the benefit of the rest of the 4 pounds, Lee, disgruntled!!! > so I went to the store and bought chicken wings for the cats, between > Granby's description and a vegan friend who feels its important > enough that she touches it I figured I would give it a try, thawed > them handed them out, a few licks and then totally ignored!!!, Guess > DH will realize the benefit of the rest of the 4 pounds, Lee, > disgruntled!!! Maybe they'd prefurrrrr (heh) them slightly cooked :) Even my dog didn't want raw chicken. And I wouldn't give them chicken with bones that break so easily. I'd take the (cooked) meat off the bone. Even domestic cats have pretty powerful jaws. Chicken bones aren't good; they splinter easily. Just my 2 cents. However, the rest of the 4 lbs. can be used to make hot wings for you to snack on. Or a pretty decent chicken stock for soup :) Throw in some veggies - carrots, celery (no onion or garlic if you plan to use it to supplement your cats' food rather than use it yourself). Jill the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when totally raw, if cooked at all they aren't acceptable for the cats... They will be stock/for DH as I do weight watchers and the points on a chicken wing is about the same as a thigh, but am thinking chicken rice soup might be good, Lee > > so I went to the store and bought chicken wings for the cats, between > > Granby's description and a vegan friend who feels its important [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Jill > the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when > totally raw, if cooked at all they aren't acceptable for the cats... Says who? I wouldn't feed them chicken with the bones (cooked or raw). That's just me, of course. But they didn't show interest in them so it's neither here nor there. > They will be stock/for DH as I do weight watchers and the points on a > chicken wing is about the same as a thigh, but am thinking chicken > rice soup might be good, Lee Stock used to make soup is a good use for wings :) Jill >>> so I went to the store and bought chicken wings for the cats, >>> between Granby's description and a vegan friend who feels its [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> Jill if you read the veterinary sites and you have a vet that is a cat specialist, that is where I got my information, Lee > > the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when > > totally raw, if cooked at all they aren't acceptable for the cats...

O.T. is my lover boy but his breath could bsck off any terriorist from the middle east! After eating the raw chicken, I could actually stand for him to be in my face, it cleaned his teeth and breath. >> the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when >> totally raw, if cooked at all they aren't acceptable for the cats...

I don't give them chicken wings very often, because this is the only food (besides Baltic herring) that Caliban doesn't wolf down in two gulps. Instead, he throws it around and plays with it before eating a little bit, then he leaves a half-eaten bit of chicken wing in some strategic place where I will step on it.

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. >> the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when totally >> raw, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > little bit, then he leaves a half-eaten bit of chicken wing in some > strategic place where I will step on it. That's what stops me from giving ours chicken wings. The part between when I give it to them and when all the mess is cleaned up. If raw chicken gets on anything, I want to be able to clean it up thoroughly. Raw caught birds for some reason don't bother be as much. Maybe because a few wing feathers are all I see of them.

Wild birds probably don't have salmonella all over them. Commercial raw chicken is a health hazard! (I'm a bit of a nutcase about handling it very carefully, washing afterward, not letting it get on anything, etc. I had salmonella poisoning once about 25 years ago and I never want to repeat it!) Joyce I got sick from some chicken once, of all the evil things that have happened/been done to me, that made me feel the worst, Lee > > That's what stops me from giving ours chicken wings.

Caliban doesn't like herring? Or is Baltic herring marinated in a sauce he doesn't like?

Or is Baltic herring marinated in a > sauce he doesn't like? Oh, he likes it (it's not marinated - I give it to them raw), but for some reason he has to play with it first. I suspect he is chanelling Nikki, who used to put her herrings in the water dish (fish are supposed to swim, you know), then fish them out and drag them to the living room, where she would eat half and leave the rest on the rug.

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. that has to be extra gross for you aren't you a vegetarian... gross for us meat eaters, but truly gross for you, Lee > > the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when totally raw, > > if cooked at all they aren't acceptable for the cats...
