❄️ Scroll 009: Frozen Yogurt & Tuna Pops — The Trickster’s Chill
“Cold paws, sharp eyes, a surprise snack that melts into play.”
For: Cats seeking summer refreshment |
When: A hot afternoon, sunlight sprawled across the floor
⚖ Archetype: The Trickster
The Trickster delights in novelty—a cube that slides, a scent that teases, a chill that turns to flavor. These frozen bites are both game and gift, offering refreshment wrapped in surprise.
🚪 Arrival
The freezer opens with a hum, and out come tiny paw-shaped cubes, frosty and glistening. Inside, tuna gleams beneath the surface, caught like treasure in ice. Your cat circles, puzzled at first, then bats the cube across the kitchen floor. Curiosity gives way to delight as each lick brings the sea’s familiar taste.
🧾 What You Need (Makes 12–16 small cubes)
- ½ can tuna in water (unsalted, flaked)
- Tuna water from the can
- 2 tbsp plain goat yogurt (unsweetened, unflavored)
- Silicone mold (paws, fish, or simple ice cube tray)
📜 Forging the Trickster’s Chill
- In a small bowl, mix tuna water with yogurt until smooth.
- Stir in tuna flakes, leaving small pieces visible.
- Pour mixture into silicone molds, filling each cavity.
- Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
- Pop out cubes and serve one at a time in a shallow dish.
Trickster’s note: Best served on a tile floor—slippery play adds to the fun.
🫁 One-Minute Practice (The Pounce & Pause)
- Set a cube before your cat. Watch the first lick, the paw batting, the chase.
- Breathe in the sound of claws on tile, exhale with their delight.
- Let yourself laugh—the Trickster’s medicine is joy.
