The Disappearing Chicken

The other evening I made chicken cutlets for dinner. My cat hadn't been feeling well for a couple of days and I had been trying to get her to eat anything since she felt like she was losing weight.
After I ate my fill, I shredded up a small piece of the chicken and called her over. She saw my plate, her eyes got big and she began to eat. She really chowed down on that chicken! I only allowed her to eat little bits since she hadn't been eating much and I didn't want her to get sick.
I set aside a piece of chicken (along with leftover chicken flavored rice) for my lunch the next day. I had it on the stove. Sadly, I'd forgotten to cover it before I went to bed.
When I got up the next morning, I walked into the kitchen, looked at the stove and my mouth just dropped open! Only a tiny piece of my chicken cutlet was left. The chew marks were unmistakable! That little furry brat of mine had eaten a LOT of chicken overnight! I'm really glad she left a little piece or I would have thought I'd imagined leaving some for my lunch.
Now I've learned to properly put all food away. She's feeling better and she loves my cooking! Scary combination! lol

the chicken does seem to have cured her of whatever was ailing her! But now I make sure that I put the food away so I can have some later! lol

My dogs prefer my cooking to dog food any day, our pets are family after all.

I am, too! I wish she'd shown me with her own food, however, but she also gave me a clue as to what she does when I'm sleeping! Sneaky cat! lol

I just cook some veggie soup again today, probably simpler this time. I might make another next week if i get the money or something.

That is a funny story but I am glad to hear that kitty is feeling better again. Chicken and rice are good for the tummy.

No, I didn't get angry at all! I was so relieved that she was okay. If my chicken is what she needed to help her feel better than who am I to complain? lol
