I was thinking about some raw fish or something like that, he seems to really like salmon. Any suggestions or things to watch out for?

    saw this list of recipes

    The beef and carrots amused me- my “time share” kitty- he’s an escape artist that used to get into my greenhouse and steal carrots. not that he was eating them- didn’t show up in his poo; what he was doing with them is a mystery.

    A word of caution… cats probably won’t care if it’s super expensive “sushi grade” or whatever, and certainly not more than you would.

        Yup. What’s fun is when you offer him a carrot. He looks at it like… “wtf am I going to do with that?!”

        Torties, amirite?

          I thought he liked apples for a short while. I kept giving him small pieces and he at them. Then one day I decided to chop a whole 1/8 of an apple into small pieces and he barely ate any of that 😂 but yeah often he really seems disappointed when I offer him some of my food

          Sorry to go slightly off topic here, but do you have a male tortie?? Those are quite rare, because it requires 2 X chromosomes to produce the tortie coat.

            I assumed he’s a tortie. He’s got that coloration. (Or I’m just an idiot. But he has black/brownish-tan.)

            Didn’t know it was rare. Gonna have to ask his people about. (It’s probably something they knew… it he’s getup their in years so, they probably never mentioned it.)

              Maybe you’re thinking tabby? Brown tabbies are often referred to as the “standard issue cat”, and are commonly found as both XX and XY cats. Torties are black/brown and orange, and their coloring is the result of having one X chromosome for black/brown, and a second one for orange.

              My apologies, I just find their genetics so fascinating!

                Definitely not. He’s got that brindle coat with black, light brown and tannish orange. (No white, though.)

                My understanding currently is either he has XXY chromosomes, or is a chimera. I’m also fascinated by the genetics, so don’t apologize.
