Title: Food

Because Charlie's getting neutered tomorrow I was thinking of a special meal I could make him for being a brave boy, he loves tuna and chicken but is there anything more inventive I could give him as a special treat?

I've never really bought them fresh fish or anything, so any ideas would be great (and how to cook them :evillaugh:)

Chicken or white fish would be best as its light on the tum after his GA   ;D

My lot like their chicken roasted and they get frozen white fish portions done in the microwave. I hate the smell of fish cooking so wont poach it  :evillaugh:

How about a few Tiger prawns?  :hungey:

Tescos do an enticing looking Seafood cocktail (Prawns, muscles, cockles, squid, crab...)

Clapton's favourite treat is oven roasted chicken cooked with the skin on and  just enough that its not pink but still juicy (he had 1/2  of mine last night  :tired: )

I would stick to chicken or fish, the seafood cocktail might be too rich for them.

It does remind me of my first ever cat Tooshy...  :Luv: He was an older roaming Tom who I took in and fixed up. He went bonkers for liver pate!

The vet adviced me to get in something light for after his neurtering op. I grilled some fish and some chicken so he had a choice. When he came home, he looked so sorry for himself. So despressed! He jumped in the chair and slept and slept... I got so worried! I placed a small dish next to his head with a bit of the chicken, then the fish... no reaction.  :( Tooshy didn't even look up. I even tried to put some in his mouth to get him to eat. He just kept sleeping.

Then, in desparation, I got the pate out. I walked in the room and his little nose started to twitch, then his head lifted. But the time I got to the chair, he'd jumped up and was meowing for England.  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

Im sure he will manage to eat that  ;D

The only fish i know how to cook is from the supermarket freezers, it comes in plastic portions and you either boil or microwave depending how much stink you like  :evillaugh:

I had a look in Tesco for frozen white fish portions and couldn't find any. In the end I bought some fresh unsmoked haddock and cut it into pieces and froze it so now I can just take a few chunks out as and when I need them, defrost them and pop them in the oven and it's done!
