Danger and Concern

A few weeks ago, because Sake had seemed to be off her feed,  I bought some chicken liver and cooked it up for the cats (boiled it.).  Sake chowed down, Haiku was eager to eat it, and Taki was repulsed (hmmm, she has generally been nondiscriminatory about what she ate.)

I have continued to offer cooked liver to the girls.  Even though Sake's level of interest has declined, I still offer it, because she is not much interested in anything else. I still offer other cat food varieties, and tuna, so they have some options. Haiku still wants treats.

All the cats think that whenever I enter the house from being out, it is eating time. I should ignore them, but that is very hard for me, so sometimes, I give them a few treats.

A while back, I had some liver in cartons on the counter, getting ready to cook it. Haiku did something she almotst never does: she jumped on the counter in front of the stove top.  I have worked to teach the cats the stove top is off limits, and they usually obey, even though they get on other parts of the kitchen counter. That frightened me.

Tonight, I was cooking up a batch of liver, and I was very concerned one of the cats might again jump up to the stove top. Not one did for which I am grateful.   I do not want to have an accident with any one of the cats.
