And I’m a cat lover.

This vicious beast has bitten
more pieces out of my cats than I
can count — my vet bills, if totall-
ed, could have taken us to Hawaii
three times.

The black and white harassed
our beloved little Beachball on an
almost daily basis for several years
until the little guy’s already weak
heart failed and he died of a
stroke. He was only five years old.

We had always assumed that
that miserable excuse for a cat was
a true, garbage-eating stray until
he showed up last fall in a new flea
collar. We were amazed that
anyone would waste $3.95 on him.

I have to assume that his owners
are like so many others who
beligve animals should be kept
outside.

Balderdash!

Cats are house pets and deserve
a warm spot by the fire. Then they
are much less likely to spend their
time harassing the neighbors.

I’m sure that everyone knows
my theory about what to do with
leftover turkey — feed it to the
cat.

I’m content with the main event
— just like I’d trash the tree on
Boxing Day if my family would
allow it.

The only reasonable use I find
for the leftover bird is making
soup, and each year I’m amazed at
how many calls I get from readers
asking how it’s done.

There are any number of ways
but this is mine:

Turkey Soup

You’ll need a very farge kettle
for this.

1 turkey carcass — remove most of
the meat, dice and set aside

water to cover — about 10 cups

4-5 bay leaves (count these and
make sure you remove them entire-
ly before serving. They can lodge
in your throat.)

1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

2 tablespoons dry chicken broth
mix

1 large onion, diced

3 large carrots, diced

1 medium turnip, peeled and diced
(Feel free to add any other
vegetables you like but I don’t
recommend potatoes — they can
go mushy.)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
seasoning sait to taste — start with
1 tablespoon

1 cup cooked rice (optional)

Simmer the turkey carcass with
water, bay leaves, poultry season-
ing and broth mix at least four
hours or all day if you have time.

Cool, strain and refrigerate.
When cold, remove any fat that
rises to the top.

Add chopped vegetables to
