St. Bernard's Worth of Kittymass
Hello,
If you consider the average weight of (properly fed) kitties to be in the range of 5 (3 to 6) lbs, and the weight range of a St. Bernard is 110/200 lbs, you can own about 40 kitties of a St. Bernard's worth. Therefore if someone asks you how many kitties you own, you can say, “I have a St. Bernard‘s worth”, so while Nosy Rosy is standing there in a state of confusion, you can quickly change the subject, or just walk away. If you live in a housing complex that says you can own up to the size of a dog thatis no more than 20 lbs; you can own about 4 (properly fed) kitties. In his natural form, the Snow Bengal is an exception, but then heis also bran new to the cat world, so eventually they may raise the average to 6 lbs. The Snow Bengal sure is a different creature. He is stronger and larger and definitely alpha. The female is powerfully affectionate, feminine and loves humans beyond belief. The tom is aloof and wary. When you reach (head-on) to pet his head, he flinches; if you aim for his back (aiming in from the side) heis all over you with smoothing your legs back and forth. He loves to be petted but not picked up . . . a lot of the males are like that. I tried to pick him up to put him on my lap, and (in jungle fear) gouged my leg with his back foot as he jumped off my lap (another reason why I keep a supply of Sulpha in the house at all times). When you try to work around the female, she smoothes you so hard you cannot do anything; she too is very strong. She has the sweet face of the Forrest Cat, as do many female, jungle Tigers. Speaking of the Forrest Cat: there goes the average weight system . . . out the window. I have a recessive-gene Forest Cat kitten about to make his début (his two siblings did not make it (mamma‘s first litter)). . . as soon as i can get a picture of him, however he just started eating with the pride, and hasnot yet learned to eat without sitting in the commune bowl. Another kitten in another place has just started eating and jumps on/over the little bowl; covering all the food with its little body, and sits there straddled over the bowl wondering where the food went. The recessive-gene, Norwegian Forrest Cat, Botiallotto, was one of two servivours out of two mother’s litters of about 12/14 that died from the Botulism in Arm and Hammer’s corn, kitty litter. It was a horrible experience in that instead of all dropping dead at about the same time, one would get sick; I would treat it, it would seem to be getting well then it suddenly pooped itself to death; then another would show signs; I would treat it; it would seem to get well then, again it would suddenly poop itself to death; then another and another; one by one, one by one until all were dead but Botial, now a huge, fat solid-black male and Botiallotto the mother of the baby about to make his début. Botial and Botiallotto are crippled; Botial’s crippling is severe, plus he has developed a bad habit of lounging in his kitty litter box after doing a big juicy one, and spinning around in it, requiring a full bath; while Botiallotto’s crippling just gives her a cute wiggle-walk, however she is quite clumsy. Botiallotto used to try to jump on my lap (or me in general), but on the way down after a terrible miss, would rip my leg/arm to shreds. As she got bigger and heavier I had to stop her affections toward me. She is extremely forgiving and still loving toward me. Her baby son is one of those that is born friendly, caring and fearless. I cannot figure what to name him . . . heis so special. Truly Truth will set you free, according to Jesus in John 8:32 See my skinny kitties at http://fluffyfuzzies.com |

Lesley Sometimes pork loin is too lean to grill. (That is, if the version of pork filet is the same across the pond.) What we have here has very little fat. Which makes is healthier, I suppose. Of course everybody in this state thinks anything is better if you dump a bottle of Head Country on it. It's a bottled barbecue sauce. I like to chunk up pork loin, brown it, then cook it in the crockpot till it's fall-apart tender for sandwiches. It's a good substitute for beef barbecue, cuz I don't eat beef anymore. Anxiously awaiting responses from the real cooks on the ng, of which I am not one. :-) Sherry |

Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Hello, I purchase the whole loin, which hasbeen selling for $1.99 for quite a while now; throw it in a big pot;boil (not too much water) it a little; not too much cooking because itis dry, tasteless, crap meat; grind it up in the food processor and feed it to the kitties. It makes for easy feeding time, and they love it; even better than beef. I freeze some for feeding later in the month. Truly Truth will set you free, according to Jesus in John 8:32 |

this is one you could pound flat and use the country fried steak chicken
fried steak for. also you can make it just like beef stroganooff but use the pork instead of the beef. also we often use pork in the crock pot with just a can of pineapple cook until tender. fish out meat, serve with rice as the base chunck the meat then spoon over the pineapple, side vege4tables we often use are cabbage, brussels sprouts or asparagus.

Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Hello, The only thing of which i can think that would make it fit for human pallet would be meat loaf: meatloaf has more than one meat type in it and bread. If you use tasty healthfood bread (wholegrain) and lamb (a tasty, moist meat no matter how you cook it); onion, garlic, shredded (on the holes) carrots; maybe a few oysters (or ground water chestnut); bell peppers; celery; parsley and a little bean meat, moisten with milk/yogurt or chicken stock; who would know you had the tasteless pork loin in it or not . . . On top of the meatloaf you would pour some tomato paste; maybe some dry cheese sprinkled on the tomato paste; then cover it with slices of bacon. Put the casserole in a pan to bake in the oven because the bacon fat will run over and out. You willnot taste the carrot as it is just for color and moister. Make sure the tomatopaste is completely covered with the bacon or the tomato paste and/or cheese will burn. Truly Truth will set you free, according to Jesus in John 8:32 |
