In an annotation to the idea
"ingredients.com," someone claimed that
cats made good satay kababs. While my
cats do not know how to prepare this
particular dish, they do take a great
interest whenever I'm cooking, and I'm
sure that, being intelligent beasts, they
could be trained.
Provided
that they could be prevented
from eating the ingredients for the kebabs
instead of cooking them, cats would make
excellent kitchen help for a caterer. Cats
are alway punctual for anything
involving food, and since they are not
legal persons, they wouldn't have to be
paid minimum wage. Also, they would
keep mice away from the kitchen.

Actually, the anno said "Try a cat. Makes great satay kebabs . . . " rather than saying that cats make good satay kebabs. Pretty different meaning. |
|
| |
The skills required for a cat to master even the simplest cooking and knife work needed for satay preparation is likely well beyond the most optimistic expectations for feline intelligence. |
|
| |
A satay kebob is usually small morsels of marinated or sauced meat grilled on and eaten from a small bamboo skewer. Other kebobs can have skewered fruits and vegetables as well as meats. |
|
| |
Variants: kebab, kabob, shish kabob. |
|

Bristolz, the misreading was intentional.
Neither JennyUSP (the creator of
ingredients.com) nor I would ever
dream of making a kebab out of a cat,
and I was giving the annotator the
benefit of the doubt. |
|
| |
As far as cats being able to master
the art of cooking, see: |

They might have to be special cats, but
they'd still be cats. |
|
| |
I feel that if one were able to teach cats to cook, they would most likely lose interest, and begin play with the cooking tools. After some play, naptime arrives. Any cat activity begins and ends with a nap. |

your link does not work, Magpie. |
|
| |
There's an extra space between "earthlink.net/" and "~kayshapero/" which causes the address to be inaccessible if directly copied and pasted to your browser. You can make the adjustment manually, if you really want to read it, but it is not readily apparent which pages of the site [Magpie] thought were pertinent to the Cat Cook comments. |

I have purchased a small tin of mint imperials for my sister as a yuletide trinket that clearly depicts cats in Victorian dress cooking and preparing a complex meal quite capably. I couldn't find it on the site though so I just linked a historical document on felines. I assume it's accurate. |

Re: Magpie's link. To stop a queen cat from 'calling' (ie making a bloody racket cos they are feeling horny) as described in the first story, cat breeders 'service' them with a q-tip. Unpleasant but true. |
