Diet?

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  You're not on a diet, are you?  You don't need to go on a diet.  You are perfect just the way you are.  That last photo you posted, that was perfection, that's the way I like you.  If you are going on a diet for whatever reason, don't get too thin.  I don't want that, and I don't want you to do that to yourself.

Me?  Yeah, I'm a little thinner than what I used to be.  I almost got bloated at a certain point, but I figured out what it was I was doing wrong and fixed it.  It was BBQ chicken that was making me fat.  Since I got rid of that, all my pants are loose now.  I'm able to fit in pants I got many years ago, and the pants I have now, I definitely need a belt.  I don't have any big mirrors in my house though, so I can't really tell what I look like.

Qur'an 20191107

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

105.  They ask you concerning the mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust."

Ta Ha 20:105

The chicken gourmet strikes again

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  How is society treating you?  Oh, are you caught in the politics of an exclusive circle of people?  Well, don't worry too much about it.  Everything will turn out just fine inshaAllah.  You're MY girl, and I love you.  Me, I'm caught up in the chicken circle again.  I had been buying all white meat, so I didn't have to process entire chickens at a time, which is tedious and time consuming.  The chicken is for both me and my cats especially Floofy, who can die a death from kibble due to the nature of her digestive tract.  The cats ate the first 2 kilos I bought no problem.  On the next 2 kilos, Floofy began to protest about her food but she ate it all nonetheless.  Until yesterday, when she refused to eat her dinner.  She refused hr breakfast today, as well.  I thought that it was because she is on a perma-heat right now, that she might lose her appetite.  So at dinner today I asked her, "Do you want something to eat?"  She said, "Meow."  OK, so I started to cut up the chicken breast.  I asked again, "Are you sure you want to eat something?" and she answered, "Meow."  So I gave her her dinner, and she began to eat it but she didn't finish it.  Then Lookie didn't finish her dinner either, so I let the kitten Yoolie (a famous trash eater in this house) have the food.   But she didn't finish it either.  So there's something wrong with the chicken.  When I cooked the chicken and ate it, it seemed normal to me.  When I read the package, it was a halal boneless chicken breast imported from Thailand.  It didn't smell bad.  In fact, it didn't have any smell at all.  Perhaps all that processing and packaging took the scent away, which the cats love.  If you had ever cut up a fresh whole chicken, you will know that it reeks.  Yes folks, freshly killed chicken reeks.  My cutting board still reeks, even though I doused it in straight bleach.  But could it be that stench that the cats crave?  Like a freshly opened can of cat food?  Like a finely aged blue cheese, but to cats?  I'm not sure yet.  I'll find out when I serve them breakfast tomorrow.  I had to go to the supermarket to buy a chicken.  I had planned to cut the grass, the weather was perfect for it.  I guess it's just as well, since I'm a lazy butt.  Plus, I feel sluggish today.

Daylight savings time

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  Are you busy jetting around the world?  Have fun, and get lots of rest.  Sorry I'm running late with my post today.  It's Tuesday, and I just got back from the mosque then I had to cuddle the kitty first.  Poor thing needs it.  It's been a busy day all around.  Mary Unknown7 will sing everyday from 10 pm PST to midnight PST inshaAllah.  Today we had to start an hour early, because I had to take my Dad to the hospital.  Yes, he does go there a lot.  I loathe the hospital, so I try to self-medicate as much as possible.  We actually went there this morning, but had to return later to get the blood test results.  Anyway, I have more to do: the day isn't over yet.  Now that I have an Internet computer again (albeit a puny one), my nights are no longer free.  Take care, Natty!  I love you!

The cooped up female cat

Hi Natty!  How are you today, my beloved?  I hope you are doing and feeling great.  I'm doing OK over here.  I wish we were together, but patience.  It's otherwise another average day.  I did chores and errands in the morning.  I wanted prawn croquettes for lunch, but I wanted to try making them without deep frying them.  Ironically, they came out greasier when I pan fried them with little oil, and not crispy.  So this batch was a failure.  And my stomach is so sensitive, it doesn't like failure even though there is nothing in the ingredients take could hurt any tummy.  There is a deep bond between the mind and the stomach, I'm sure you know.  I didn't experience any bathroom emergencies, just a little discomfort in the afternoon.  Dinner was rice and chicken, which I bought from the night market at the crossroads.  Chicken, always chicken!  Yeah, me and my cats eat the same thing.  Ever since I put them on a raw chicken diet, their health has been excellent alhamdulillah.  Too healthy, at times.  Floofy has been in constant heat for the past 3 weeks now.  Some periods are milder than others, but she doesn't seem to get out of it.  It happens to female cats that live indoors, I read on the Animal Planet website.  I have 3 female cats that live indoors.  Will I be able to cope with 3 cat nymphomaniacs?  One is bad enough.  It's a good thing I have a latch on my bedroom door.
