🐔 Scroll 010: Chicken & Parsley Mini Bites — The Mouser’s Feast
“Quick protein, tiny greens, nuggets shaped for swift whiskers.”
For: Feline companions (treats, not full meals) |
When: Quiet afternoon training, playful evenings, or post-nap victory laps
🪶 Archetype: The Mouser
The Mouser is alert and efficient: no fuss, all focus. These bites honor that spirit—clean protein, gentle bind, the faintest herb to freshen the breath. Small offerings for swift hunters.
🚪 Arrival
The kitchen is soft with warmth. A cutting board whispers under your knife as chicken turns to fine shreds. An egg flickers gold in the bowl; a green confetti of parsley drifts down. Behind you: the quiet pad-pad-pad of paws, the bright question in a tilted head.
🧾 What You Need (Makes ~30 tiny bites)
- 6 oz (170 g) cooked plain chicken (breast or thigh), finely shredded
- 1 large egg, beaten (cooked into the mixture)
- 1–2 tsp oat flour or finely ground plain oats (optional, just enough to bind)
- Pinch (tiny) of finely minced flat-leaf parsley (optional)
- 1–2 tsp water or low-sodium chicken broth (only if mixture seems dry)
Guardrails: No salt, onion, garlic, spices, dairy, or oils. These are treats—offer sparingly alongside a balanced cat diet.
📜 Forging the Mouser’s Feast
- Heat the den: Preheat oven to 325°F / 165°C. Line a sheet with parchment.
- Mix the catch: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken and beaten egg until glossy. Sprinkle in just enough oat flour to barely hold together (you may need none). If dry, add a teaspoon of water/broth.
- Herb the whisper: Fold in a tiny pinch of parsley (optional). It’s for aroma, not salad.
- Shape small: Pinch pea-sized pieces and roll into tiny nuggets (about marble size). Place on the sheet, then press each gently into a coin.
- Bake: Bake 10–12 minutes until set and just turning pale gold. Centers should be cooked through but still moist.
- Cool & store: Cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days, or freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in fridge before serving.
Mouser’s note: Serve 2–4 nuggets per day for most adult cats (treat portion), adjusting for size and vet advice.
🫁 One-Minute Practice (Focus & Purr)
- Hold one nugget at nose level; let your cat scent it for three breaths.
- Place it down; step back and watch the stalk → pounce → prize.
- Exhale with the purr—training is simply play with gratitude.
💌 Your Turn in the Story
Keep a small jar of these in the fridge. Reward eye contact, a gentle sit, a calm wait at the door. The Mouser’s gift isn’t only protein—it’s a language you both learn to speak.
