Every morning, I drink bone broth for its health benefits. A big batch of bones is boiled on the stove, frozen in ice cube trays and then placed in baggies in the freezer.
Our rescued cat, Shasta, also needs digestive support. So, I make her bone broth too. The difference between hers and ours is that hers contains a mixture befitting her age and needs including Chinese bladder support
herbs, ground flax seeds for Persian coat enhancement and bowel support, cat vitamins/probiotics, grass, Knox gelatin and catnip. I bake her two large organic chickens, cool the mixture, then blend it before placing in several bowls. Each bowl contains a different combination of ingredients for varied flavor and nutrition.
Each morning, Angel Scribe drinks her broth in a delicate English teacup with hot water and Shasta’s is melted prior to adding to her
food.
When I was not home, my retired husband saw the new ‘cat’ batches in the freezer and the similar bag of my bone broth. Because we had recently acquired the cat, he was not used to seeing her ‘food’ in the fridge, so he organized the freezer by combining the bags.
When I discovered and commented on his kind gesture he laughed and said, “I’ll know if you get one of Shasta’s combinations if you start meowing.”
It
took a moment to return his laughter, but I reasoned that the cat’s ingredients are organic and natural, so for the next month my daily morning wake-up broth may have a slight grass, catnip or cat vitamin hint to it. “Meow.”
Now you know what to do with your left over Holiday meat bones! Happy Holidays from Angel Scribe and the Fluffingtons to your home.
Humorous
TIPS
My friends have a great sense of humor. Following are their funny responses to our ‘food combining’ error:
Several vowed not to drink bone broth at our home. They quipped that like my husband, they’ll be looking for signs of me chasing balls, catching mice, chasing butterflies, eating flies off the window, growing whiskers/tail, mewing instead of snoring, or cleaning with my tongue.
Tony in
Vancouver, Washington helpfully suggested, “Label all future bone broth baggies as your husband might like his seasoned differently than you do.”
Chris, a health consciousness neighbor added, “Since Shasta's broth includes feline bladder support, I hope you don't get the urge to use her litter box”, and Anne in Alberta quipped, “The neighbors would be taken aback if they saw you outside scratching in the
dirt!”
Laughing out loud, on a roll, Edith in Michigan added, “But the good news is that your bladder may be doing better!”
Carla in Cottage Grove, Oregon asked, “Does your cat drink the broth willingly or does it taste funny to her, and do you have to syringe it into her mouth? My cats would probably sniff it and say, ‘What else ya got’?”
Dear Readers, we are what we eat. Clean water and healthy food create our blood
system that nourishes us and gives us strength. There is no magic pill to health, there is wisdom and choices. No one, not even our pets, in a commonsense mind can reason that junk food or bags of dried food over years will maintain health.
What’s not to love about the taste of homemade-healthy delights? My walking partner, Tony, shifted from store bought treats to pieces of bacon for his dog, Budley. The benefits are amazing. Budley loves the treats, lost weight
and his coat is shiny.
Our cats over the years have eaten the bone broth mixture with zest. It contains high nutrients and chicken meat blended with a variation of ingredients to aid their overall health. After our recent accidental cooking/freezing error research on its benefits will continue in the morning to what it tastes like $*&^$al7di9an! Oops! Sorry. It’s hard to type at the same time as scratching behind my ear with my foot. But, right now, I need a
catnap!
