1. Grody is association, doesn't make the nutritional value of bugs more or less.

2. Can you explain more about animals eating bugs and cooked food? What do you think would cause the food borne illnesses?

3. Yea I agree there, I don't want anything replacing meat. But just because it's promoted to replace meat doesn't make it automatically bad as food.

So, this is what I use (but make sure you read the info on https://catinfo.org/making-cat-food/ before making a decision):

For 2 cats, each weighing between 10-13lbs, 2 weeks supply (on the above website, she has a cat weight to daily food weight ratio):

Ingredients:

9 lbs of chicken thighs, with skin and bones (choose good quality, safe chicken, whatever that means to you after your own research)

0.75 lbs of chicken liver

4 eggs

Supplements mixed in:

1 cup of water (or a bit more)

5,000-10,000mg fish oil

400IU/268mg Vitamin E

50mg Vitamin B-Complex 50

2,000mg Taurine

1 Teaspoon Morton Lite Salt with Iodine

(She has detailed suggestions on brands or websites to purchase them at.)

Instructions:

1. Bake chicken thighs in oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. Only outside is cooked, inside still raw.

Cool down, cut up meat in small enough chunk for the grinder and chop bone in half so it won't jam the grinder.

2. Bake chicken liver in oven at 350F for 10 minutes, flip half way through. Break into smaller pieces.

3. Boil 4 eggs for 3-4 minutes, yolk still soft. Peel off shell, disgard. Break off eggs in smaller pieces.

4. Mix above items. Grind them up.

5. Pour supplement mix in. Stir up well.

6. Store in mason jars up to 3/4 of the jar size. Leave lids off, put in freezer. Put lids on after frozen.

She has the grinder model and website where to purchase on her website.

After you do it once or twice, it's streamlined and the process will only take about 1.5 hours every 2 weeks and it's way cheaper and good for them!

Any questions, ask away. ๐Ÿ’–

You're very welcome! Thanks for the zap!!

Happy cats, happy home! Haha.

I'm still waiting to be convinced that bugs are bad as food.

Ohhhh, that's awesome!

This is the website I learnt what to do.

Her info is a bit scattered, I had to write down the suggestions and formulate it myself.

I'll post my particular recipe tmr in a separate reply as a reference, but it's necessary that you read her info to decide what's best for your cats based on their ages, weights, health conditions, etc. and your preference of what ingredients to work with.

A short story:

So I've been trying to get a lot of renovations and work done on the house and trying to finish the basement. I've recently gotten an estimate for putting a fence around the yard for the dogs.

It was a little more than I hoped but I had intended to just move forward, but they wanted a significant deposit immediately to get started. This immediately ran me into the headache of going from Bitcoin to USD in a quick and inexpensive manner.

This was also while ACH transfers that I've done to move the dollars to Fold (no way I'm spending thousands and not getting sats back on it), are suddenly taking 3x as long. A problem that started when SVB blew up.

After realizing that this was going to take a 2% fee on CashApp to sell, an ACH to my bank, then another ACH to my Fold, I decided to give a pitch for them to save me all those steps and just accept Bitcoin directly with the 1% fee using OpenNode.

The guy I was working with was interested and on board with my argument, but the owner refused despite the fact that it would obviously save them money and mean I could pay the deposit in 10 minutes time with no selling fee at all.

At this point I decided I was going to do something, especially with these sorts of jobs that involve large transfers which are a huge pain in dollars. I was just going to take the time to find someone who would accept Bitcoin.

I politely declined to do business with them. My response:

"Thanks man, appreciate the reply. I'm gonna look for other contractors here for a bit because I'd rather not build a relationship with a company that makes me have to revert to using a banking system that I literally could not despise more, or trust any less."

"I may get back in touch with you in a few weeks if there seems no other good option. No hard feelings, I do appreciate you taking this to the owner."

I added some choice words about the banking system for flair. ๐Ÿ˜†

The worker I was chatting with immediately agreed and then we started a short back and forth about how corrupt the banks were, why Bitcoin (of course he said crypto, lol) was the future, and HE brought up how the Fed was going to push a CBDC.

"Same. The more we use Bitcoin, the more irrelevant their attempt to centralize it is.

If the day comes that they push a CBDC on us, I'll officially be refusing to do business with anyone who doesn't accept Bitcoin, because I'm not touching that crap."

He responded with "Agreed!"

... that's where we left it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got a text message tonight from the guy. He said the owner is willing to work with #Bitcoin if I hadn't found someone else yet.

I think it's time that I will start pitching the case for Bitcoin, in short and sweet bullet points, with every company I work with โ€” & where it feels like it makes sense, I'm going to refuse to do business with anyone who doesn't accept Bitcoin.

We have weight in the market. We need to be the intransigent minority. Bitcoin won't save the economy if no one knows how to use it, or is too afraid and too panicked to try something new when the shit hits the fan. The time to push for integration is now.
