The chicken gourmet

Hi there, my lovely Ladies!  How are you feeling today?  Are you feeling and doing well?  I hope you are.  I spent most of my day in the kitchen today.  It's because I went to the supermarket in the morning, and bought a chicken.  I eat a lot of chicken nowadays.  It's because I've weaned my cats off kibble.  That's because Floofy can't eat kibble anymore, then Lookie wants the same food as Floofy or else she throws a tantrum.  The kitten Yoolie doesn't really care: she wolfs down whatever I give at top speed, so she can go over to the other cat bowls and wolf down what's in there.  A speed eater.  A trash eater.  She probably was born in a big family.  The chicken is fat today, so that's good: more meat over bones.  The 2 adult cats eat only pure raw white or red meat, no skin, innards or fat, but the gizzard is acceptable.  Since it's raw chicken, I keep it in the freezer until a couple of hours before feeding time when I move it from freezer to cooler.  Chicken flesh is rather easy to cut when partially frozen, yet not slimy.  The kitten gets the meat I pull from the bones after simmering them for broth.  That's a lot of meat plus the trash parts, she doesn't care, she loves it.  Cats are naturally predators, so bird flesh should be perfect food for them.  In fact, the food is so efficient for them that they generate very little poop, which is great for me the cat's human.  What do I eat?  I've been eating chicken.  Dinner today was spicy chicken and fried onion tortillas.
