I live indoors, now. It's not safe to have an open flame indoors. Obviously, I will bake the cats.

My Crock Pot is currently full of chicken soup, and I don't have a stock pot large enough to fit a ten-pound animal.

I may dump out the Crock Pot, though. I cooked the chicken soup on low overnight for 8+ hours, then I cranked it up to high in the morning, so I could add some pasta stars. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn it off, and I cooked the soup an additional 12ish hours on high. That broke down everything, and released all the collagen or whatever, and the soup turned to chicken jelly. It turns back to liquid when heated up, but it looks so drat gross in my refrigerator, that it's really unappetizing.

There will be a lot less than 15lbs of meat after you dress the animal. I bet it'd fit.

Leave your crock pot sitting on the floor, wait for one of your cats to hop in, I bet the cat will get itself all the way in to the pot. Put a lid on it and set it to high. Good game dumb cat.

Oh, yeah. Either cat would fit in the Crock Pot. I don't have a stock pot that will fit a cat. As long as the Crock Pot is full, I can't make cat soup.

I think the bloody poo poo man is making two different soups, one with each cat and then will rank the cats accordingly

I heard that all major airlines have a clause that states animals may or may not arrive alive, and if you have a problem with this do not put them on the plane. Is this true? Is this then pretty much Schroedinger's airmail?

All I know is you need a mandoline to get a dog into one of those medium priority mailers.

A lot less than I expected it to be. The cargo fee ended up being $350 total for the two of them. It does require a recent vet's health certificate which will be a little bit on top, but that's probably not going to run you much either.

Actually not as bad as I thought, considering the convenience of getting them there quickly.

That's about the size of it, except even the burger places weren't interested.


Cringer is out and about :






Charlie sensed something going on, and felt the need to join in.





So far, Cringer seems to be the only one of the pair who uses the cat beds. I've seen Cringer in both beds, but I've only caught him on camera in the blue one.








The tongue hanging out all the time is new, I think.
