Background:
For the last couple days 3 of the 4 cats have been hurkin' and squirtin'. This is extremely unusual for us, and I'm not sure if the food is the issue (the meats smell and feel fine, plus they've been frozen for at least a week). We suspect a new thing in the environment, which we moved outside this morning.
In any case, I decided to try something that would be easier on their tummys: chicken, liver, heart, rice, and egg whites, all cooked, plus a frozen/thawed raw egg yolk. It's been a long time since I made a cooked meal for them, and I'm not going for full nutrition at this point... just something they might keep down and get through their systems (and YES, we are expecting to head to the vet tomorrow).
So, I put the chicken meat, heart, and liver into a small pan and stick it in the toaster oven. Hubby comes downstairs, and the conversation goes like this:
ME: I'm cooking the cat's meals today.
HIM: You think that will help?
ME: Dunno. Worth a try. Can't go to the vet until tomorrow.
HIM: Yeah. (long pause) You're not cooking the bones in there too, are you?
ME: What? No! I know better than that! (eyeroll)
HIM: (sputtering) I know you know... I was just... y'know... just checking.
ME: (laughing) Checking? (more laughing) Okay.
HIM: Hey! At least I thought about it. You know, 'cause I was thinking...
ME: Well, that is true. Good thinking, hun. I am glad you were thinking.
Really... he does deserve credit for thinking about it. It makes me more confident that he could handle the meals on his own if he had to.
Now, to be fair, I could still cook the chicken with the bones, and just pull the meat off after...
But yeah... I would make a terrible boss.
