Cat antics

plonqI am making Christmas brandy-fruitcakes again this year. I mixed up the fruit and brandy yesterday and let it soak overnight, then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fetlock dropped by today to help with the second (more fiddly) part of making them. They're in the oven even as I type, and the whole house smells of brandy and cinnamon. =9 Once they've cooled we're going to wrap them in cheesecloth, soak them in more brandy and wrap them in plastic and foil for a couple of months to cure. If they taste anything like they smell then we're in for a treat this year.
The cats put on quite a show for me this morning when I got up. They're not used to having somebody home during the day, and every time I wandered out to the kitchen, they made a big production about how hungry they were. I was pretty sure thatatara had already fed them, but they were all-but rolling around on the floor, clutching their stomachs and claiming that they were on the verge of starvation. It was a convincing enough show that I emailed her at work to see if she had actually fed them or not. She assured me that she had, and that I was simply dealing with some little furry Thespians who were hoping to scam a second feeding out of one of those big, gullible people they share the house with.
I am not so easily fooled. Not quite.
