008: TUNA PUMPKIN PATTIES

🐾 Scroll 008: Tuna & Pumpkin Patties — The Hunter’s Treat

“Silver sea-flesh meets golden earth, shaped small for eager paws.”

For: Our feline companions  | 
When: A quiet afternoon, the kitchen warm, tails twitching nearby

⚖ Archetype: The Hunter

The Hunter seeks nourishment that is true, simple, and real. These patties are an offering: ocean’s gift bound with garden’s glow, crafted in small portions fit for whiskered mouths.

🚪 Arrival

A can cracks open—brine scent rising like a tide. Pumpkin’s orange earthiness folds in, carrot’s sweetness joins, and olive oil threads it all. Your cat is already circling your ankles, eyes bright, ears forward. The bowl is the stage, the paw is the applause.

🧾 What You Need (Makes 6–8 small patties)

  • 1 can tuna in water (unsalted, drained)
  • 2 tbsp plain pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp cooked carrot, finely mashed
  • 1 tsp olive oil

📜 Forging the Hunter’s Treat

  1. In a small bowl, mash tuna with a fork until flakes are fine.
  2. Add pumpkin, carrot, and olive oil. Mix until smooth but spoonable.
  3. Shape into small patties (about the size of a coin).
  4. Chill in fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm.
  5. Serve 1–2 patties at room temperature as a snack or topper.

Hunter’s note: Keep extras in the fridge up to 3 days. These are snacks, not full meals.

🫁 One-Minute Practice (The Watcher’s Patience)

  1. Place a patty in the dish. Watch your cat pause, sniff, then strike.
  2. Breathe with their rhythm—wait, then pounce, then devour.
  3. Let gratitude rise: for small mouths fed, for trust curled at your feet.

💌 Your Turn in the Story

Craft this humble patty, and let your cat remind you: simple things—fish, earth, warmth—are treasures when shared. Every purr is a seal of approval.
