Absolutely, but not when it comes to life support and chemical means
of prolonging a life well lived. Animals are not people and vets,
unlike physicians, are allowed to put down their patients (at their
owner's request, of course) when the time comes instead of milking
insurance companies and medicare for millions just to prolong a life a
few more months.

I can buy it in any supermkt. Comes on any chicken. Foster Farms is
the best for overall fat content. Must be at least a whole pound on
any whole chicken. Even the FF pieces are loaded with fat, so much so
I never buy FF. Too fatty.

I don't know if FF mkts very far East, but it's big out West. Second
only to Tyson's in total sales. Jewish ppl would love FFs! Mucho
fat. They must raise their chickens on cake and ice cream to make
'em so fat.

Not any more. Sadly they changed it while I was pregnant. I had to stop
drinking it then because I was told saccharine crossed the placenta. I had
to wean myself off of it and learn to like Diet Coke. Then when we moved to
CA and finally stopped breast feeding, I could not find it. Went to some
other city there and did find it. Bought it, drank it and no longer was the
bitter aftertaste I so loved there! Now they put Aspartame in it. There is
still some saccharine but the Aspartame just ruined it for me. Not the
same. :( But not as bad as when they put calcium in it. Oh momma!

Chicken fat can be a good way of getting more calories into the
cat. Ultimately, with my kidney cat, I went the path of dropper-feeding
him. I would make a slurry of water, wet cat food, and vegetable oil
and use a 5 cc plastic dropper. The extra calories definitely helped
the cat thrive for longer.

There's a drug for cats called "Renalzin" that binds phosphorus in the
gut. I have no idea if it's expensive or not, but based on the active
ingredient it shouldn't be too bad (OTOH, it's made by Bayer...) Did
the vet prescribe anything like that?

lying: Swallows tastes more semen in one month than the entire remaining RFC
population combined has tasted in their collective lives!

however on the other hand your avarice for siphoning male ejaculate is

Hate to go back to the OP after such a pleasantly divergent hijack :-)
but I have another answer. Yesterday I purchased a bunch of "split
chicken breasts" They were on sale for $1 per pound and I bought them to
freeze for making chicken soup for our congregation's communal Passover
seder. I had 8 breast halves and after skinning and trimming I froze
(in a separate container) enough unrendered fat to equal 1/3 cup after
rendering.

So that's where you get chicken fat.

Now *that* is a bargain!!!


Cheapest I've ever been able to get them is at $5.99kg, which comes out to
approx $3 per lb.


We rarely see 'unsplit' chicken boobies over here, they are always the
'split' variety.






When I first saw this thread, my immediate response was "Off a
chicken" :-)


I often skin any chicken we get (before the SO sees me doing it and
berates me for doing it!!), and then just throw the skin/fat away.
Rendered it down a couple of times a long time ago to use for roasting
veges etc, but nowadays, I just ditch the lot. There's usually only a very
small amount of 'fat', as I'm careful as to what chicken I buy, so it's
mainly skin that gets thrown away now.


Which reminds me, I might just give the pooch a couple of frozen chicken
frames today as a treat.

Frozen chicken popsicle :-)

Every chicken contains easy to remove bundles of fat... but why would
you want to feed your cat chicken fat... domesticated/house cats don't
need the extra fat. It's not a good idea to feed any cats raw
stupidmarket poultry anyway (feral cats can eat fresh kill they hunt,
they obtain immunity from their mother), and other than fat calories
rendered chicken fat (schmaltz) contains no nutrients beneficial to
cats. And if you buy schmaltz be certain it contains no onions,
they're toxic to cats. Why don't you simply suppliment your cat's
regular diet with some lean roast chicken meat, it will naturally
contain sufficient fat, especially the dark meat... your cat doesn't
need extra fat... your cat gets fed every day, without hunting for
food, it's not feral, it doesnt need the extra fat calories. If you
feed your cat extra fat, especially poultry fat, you will certainly
shorten its life. Your cat will be much better off with a diet of
quality commercial cat food occasionally supplimented with small
amounts of certain table foods... homemade pet foods do not contain
the correct balance of nutrients. And do NOT feed cats dog food. Do
not experiment on your pet, experiment on yourself.

She gets mostly cat food but it is clear that she wants to eat what we are
eating. She comes up to us and hits us with her paw, makes her eyes all big
and cries pitifully. We also don't dare leave a plate or bowl sitting
unattended. And if we throw away a paper plate it must be well rinsed and
put deep in the trash. She has learned how to get things out of there.
