Smoothie day, smoothie day. Tra-la-la-la smoothie day!


It all started with Cappuccino or Wooster. Cappuccino needed special diet food to suppress his bladder stone formation. With his smushed-nose face, he has trouble eating food and is most efficient with blended food. Wooster needed what Ccino was having, so that's when we also introduced wet food to the other cats. Wooster, the brat that he is, is now on-again-off-again with wet food. Supreme snubber. Not Percy. Percy is a good little eater.


I need to back-track a little bit. Ccino's food is blended with an additional can of water added in a stainless steel, dedicated-to-cat-fud blender carafe. This makes several servings. So "Smoothie Day" is when the room-temperature smoothie is originally blended, not spooned out from the fridge a day or two later. With the blender already dirty, why not blend up the other cats' food too?

As I said, Percy loves smoothie day. And he loves his routines. After dinner, he saunters over to the banana leaf stool to groom himself. Sorry I didn't get a shot of the tongue in action, but imagine for youself that he's a very efficient groomer.
