Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


Bless Merlin, that list of goodies is sure to drive most pusses wild! I keep discovering more and more things that Darcy likes. Maderia cake, milk from my cereal (Apple and Cinamon crunch!), string, more plastic, tea, butter, bolognaise, pasta Not that I have ever offered him these things, he has quite contendly helped himself! Y'day I walked in to find him beginning to sniff around a pan I used to cook bacon in, then have a little lick of the fat As such I need to make sure the kitchen is clear of food at all times!

Sorry for hijacking Angie! Just happy to hear Merlin's ok

No worries! Merlin loves to lick the oil in which bacon has been cooked! In fact, when he tries to get in the dishwasher, I am sure that's what he is hoping to find!

In all fairness, bacon is super tasty!

Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


The title had a weird effect on my mind .....I was estatic as he'd eaten something then I got the weird images flashing through but my first thought was "Yes he's eaten" I must live a sheltered life.

However I agree with DM....I found myself stocking up on things that were simply for the cats....)

I must say though I would also add Corned beef to that list and also mention I brought skinless an boneless red tinned salmon as they adored that, and also brought sild (type of sardine) in tom sauce and also in oil.....as I thought it would help with their "movements"

Oh they also both adored cheese sauce....yeah I know they were spoilt and I would put the cheese/white sauce over fish.... it worked well. Also grated cheese went down well. Spa Bol was also a fav...as well strangely mine liked faggots (curtsey of my parents) however they also liked a little liver occasionaly too....and they liked pork pie. I also kept a couple of Welsh lab chops in the freezer ready to used and did a regular in the winter lamb or rabbit stew for the cats and of course the dogs that could last 2 nights. They all adored the gravy...And of course the squirty cream and a fav of both of them was Danish Blu cheese and various strong smelling cheese's....

Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


Wonderful news to hear Merlin has eaten and kept it all down. How stressful is it when they dont eat? and vomitting too? You must have been a nervous wreck.

How's he doing now?

Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


Thanks everyone for your encouraging posts! Merlin has nearly eaten all of the second leg! Poor wee man, I knew he was hungry. I have got lots of the bits that dinahsmum suggests, but will make a "Merlin emergency tasty cupboard" and include the squirty cream and the sardines in tomato sauce - he always likes to lick the tomato sauce off a plate if we've had baked beans - so I think that's a good indication that he would like more.

I take it Kazz that your lamb stew did not include onions etc. Don't happen to have kept the recipe, have you?

Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


Merlin has eaten a whole cold chicken leg (obviously minus the bones). I hand fed him - he's eaten the lot with no apparent discomfort and it is still inside him!

You know how fickle they can be-if it goes in at one end and comes out the other there is not too much to worry about

Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


so pleased he has kept it down. hope the food cupboard works for him. It is such a relief when you get a 'solution' isn't it?

Re: I got a chicken leg into Merlin!


Bacon fat made me smile....Misty adored it. I'll admit I left the pan out so it congealed for her.
