maybe i'm a cruel, bad person

i just served my cats two live mice.

( cut for the sensitive or squeamish )

EDIT: *DIES laughing* the other mouse is still alive and is hiding in the box. unable to successfully remove mouse from box, luther has stuck his entire HEAD in the box with the mouse and got the box stuck on his head! SO funny. poor mouse. 2nd EDIT: luther is now eating the other mouse. i guess that ends my need to supervise. i will go run the rest of my errands.

btw SQUEE!

ross has limited access to discounted cirque du soliel tickets.
we are going!
3pm matinee for delerium!
*dances*

EDIT: no need for envy here. we didn't get to go.
ross didn't tell me he only had only one opportunity to get tickets. and then because we had a couple "maybes" on people who were going with us, he didn't buy the tickets in time. boy was i MAD! and disappointed.

learning to use the meat grinder....

so this whole process creeps me out.
i could deal with unpackaging the chicken organs and even fed luther a couple of chicken livers (he loves them). less to freeze immediately that way. everything is all labeled and packaged in the freezer.
but this chicken carcass is creepy. something about the sound the bones make when the cleaver breaks them....and bone marrow has a distinctive smell.
the meat grinder works great, but it gives me the willies to think that bone is coming out of those little wholes in addition to the meat.
yuck.

Edit: man that's gross. there are some other recipes that include bone MEAL rather than grinding your own bone. i think that will be the next option. homemade cat food is GROSS. it doesn't look bad, kinda like ground meat with bits of broccoli in it (yes, a small amount is good for them because of the fiber), but the smell of bone marrow haunts me.
