What’s Better Than a Lentil?

First, we’d like to thank everyone for all the love and support you gave Mom after our post last week (and the compassion for our situation). She is doing better.

We would also like to thank everyone for the unwavering support of our dislike of the lentil (That came pretty much from the feline population. There were a few humans who seem to enjoy eating them.)

We’re including this last one because the site says that cats love them. Mom hates pumpkin, so we’ve never tried it.

Pumpkin and Salmon Kitty Bits

  • 1 1/4 cups of oat flour, divided
  • 5 ounces of drained salmon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree

  2. Break up the salmon with a fork or chopper.
  3. Combine 1 cup of flour, salmon, egg, and pumpkin in a bowl using a spoon or electric mixer
  4. Place the dough on the baking sheet, sprinkle with the remaining flour, and press down to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Prick all over with a fork.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and cut into small pieces with a pizza or pastry cutter.

  2. Lentils are creepy but that is not the creepiest thing here! In Victorian times cats and kittens were deliberately killed and stuffed to make “charming” family photo scenes mimicking humans, and the photos were very popular and sold well. The kitten with the bowl you posted is typical of them from the turn of the century. On the lighter side, that goldfish is the bowl looks worried, and he needs a larger bowl!
