I'm making BBQ chicken wings and Emily is spawn camping

That's a cat with a headset.
Huh. All I saw was the dick for a nose

I heard you shouldn't give dogs cooked bones (their jaws can break them), does that apply to cats?
Also, how are you making them when your cat's sitting on the stove.
That's true about dogs, but cats naturally hunt and eat birds and other species with breakable bones, ~~so it's fine for them~~
I'm heating ready made ones in the oven and the scent wafting up from it is attracting her to that spot 😁
Edit: guess being cooked takes them from the best thing for them ever to a major health risk 😞
The bones in the things they catch aren't usually cooked. I thought that was the big danger, since cooked bones splinter more easily and could cause internal injury.
Well, fuck. I looked it up and you're right. There goes one of the favorite things of both Emily and her sister Charlotte 😞
Well, it’s better to learn about it this way, the easy way, and not the hard way.
I used to work in a holistic/froofy pet store. There are a lot of great options for cats. Frozen chicken and turkey necks (raw), smoked bones (the only way to safely cook bones for your pet to eat), cooked tendons (my cat is a freak for the turkey tendons, though she gets so hyped about them that I’ve had to pull whole tendons out of her throat and she now has to chew them while I hold onto one end…)
It’s just not worth the risk from human food bone scraps.
You probably shouldn't give cats cooked bones either.
I'm guessing the wings are in the oven.
That’s right, cooked no raw yes*

Spawn camping?
Refers to a tactic in competitive online games that feature a mechanic where players come back to the playfield a few seconds after they're killed (called respawning). There are usually only a few points on the map where players respawn (called "spawn points"), so some players pursue a strategy where they wait near a spawn point for an opportunity to kill any respawning players before they get their bearings. So kitty here is going to wait for the wings to be done and then snatch them the instant they "spawn" from the oven (or fryer or what have you). (Edited for spelling.)
If they are in the oven or the oven is pre-heating, could Emily be sitting there because of the warmth ?
Possibly 🤷 She IS a big fan of both chicken and warmth. If ever a hen mistakes her for an egg, she'll have it made!
People who let cats on their appliance tops and counters are nasty.
"let"
My cats learned they aren't allowed up there. Though every once in a while when we weren't home I'd catch one of them up on the counter over the security cam. Miss that Lil shit.
Current kitty never goes up on em.
No matter how many times I tried getting my cats to stay off the counter, I never could. When I was out of the room or left the house, they’d go right up. Now, my cat had a stroke a few years back and is partially paralyzed, so she can’t make the jump to the counter anymore. I wouldn’t recommend this strategy, though.
