Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

When Louis Catorze was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism I was determined to be strict with his diet, allowing zero human food, in order to aid his recovery. However, now that he is chubbing up and doing much better, I have started to feel more relaxed about letting him have the odd treat in tiny amounts.
We don’t prepare celebratory meals for him for special occasions; at most, we give him a few slivers of jambon de Bayonne and of organic aged Comté from the deli. Most of my friends think this is enormously extravagant, and they ask why we don’t just give him supermarket meat and cheese. Erm, because he refuses it. That’s why.
Then my friend Monique sent me this video.
Watching this lady (the one in the video, I mean, not my friend Monique) prepare her cat’s breakfast has made me feel far less guilty about the treats we give to Catorze, yet also desperately negligent and inadequate. Trust me, these two seemingly-disparate emotions really can exist side by side.
(And, no, we didn’t understand “chargers”, either. Is that American for “plates”? US followers, help us out, please.)
Bear in mind, too, that this video wasn’t even filmed during the festive period; this was just a regular, everyday breakfast. We would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when Oscar eats his Christmas dinner.
In fact, we would love to be Oscar, full stop.
