Shrew

A cat owner's plan for the shrew-based treat has been met with approval from some commenters, one of whom dubbed it "mice cream."

"In addition to ectoparasites, shrews can carry many different intestinal parasites and can transmit the BoDV-1 virus that causes Borna disease, which may result in a deadly encephalitis in an unlucky shrew handler," she added. If your cat is one of those who demands the tap is turned on for a drink, then it may be worth investing in a drinking fountain so they always have access to running water." A third, meanwhile, asked the cat owner to "let her know the recipe." "I know they can't taste sugar, so I was thinking of boiling cream and leaving the shrews to infuse at that stage, then making a sugar-free traditional custard (albeit shrew flavoured) and putting that in the ice cream maker." It's a bold approach to matters culinary and cat, and the idea of using an ice cream maker after someone just made some shrew-flavored treats may not sound appealing. "Do you think the cats would like it if I froze them, perhaps mixed with a bit of cream?"
