I got a chicken leg into Merlin!

angieh · 27-10-2008, 03:34 PM

He has had me worried ..... eating a very small amount of all the various sorts of cat food in the cupboard and then up chucking them all.

Made appointment to take him to the vet this afternoon, but have just phoned to cancel it. 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!

OH says he's a con artist. Wish Merlin just wouldn't worry me so.

He'll get the other leg later! (Merlin that is, not OH!!!)

Can you "hear" my relief?

Kazz - I will get some squirty cream next time I go shopping!

Brilliant news Angie, you'll have to stock up on chicken legs now!

That's no good Mags - Merlin will look at them, sniff them with disdain and then look up at Angie as if to say 'Do I really look as if I might eat that?'
The thing is to think laterally and try to be one step ahead. What's the least likely thing for him to eat? Get that!

So, in the cupboard/freezer, should be
Chicken
Duck (maybe)
Turkey
Ham
Salmon
White fish
Skate
Prawns
Cake
Eggs
Pilchards in tomato
Sild in oil and in tomato
Herring roe
and so on

Fantastic news Angie! I'm breathing a sigh of relief too

Also, now I really want a BBQ'd chicken leg!! That sounds so tasty. Lucky Merlin

Angie I read the title of the thread and thought GOOD GRIEF, but then I realised that he ATE the chicken leg

phew, well done Angie and hope Merlin contines to devour more feathered friends

I, too, had an interesting mental picture

"Where did she put it?" etc

But we probably both knew what it meant really, didn't we?

PoshPuss · 27-10-2008, 04:42 PM

I had that mental picture too, but , I reasoned that he meant he had eaten it...

My title had the desired effect then! Tempted you to come in and read it to find out what happened!!!

dandysmom · 27-10-2008, 04:48 PM

Lol at the responses! Glad he enjoyed it, and think DM has a wise point there.....

angieh · 27-10-2008, 04:53 PM

Yes, I agree Eileen - she has. Of course, I do already have quite a few of the things on her list! But I must get some sardines or pilchards in tomato sauce as I'm fairly sure Merlin would like those.

(He doesn't like cake, but that might help me when I get stressed because he won't eat!)
