- So we are going to do our iteration
of "Tiny Cooking Competition" that fits our personalities.
And what is our personality?
- Cats.
(cats meowing)
So we are going to make homemade, with love,
gourmet meals for our cats.
- I feel blessed because my cats are so,
I mean they're awesome, but they're monsters.
They aren't picky at all when it comes to eating.
Like, they're not like the typical cat
where you have to, you know,
integrate it slowly into their schedule,
oh no, no, no, my cats are (beep) kitchen vultures.
(cat meowing aggressively)
They like trash, they like human toes,
scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt,
chicken out of the Instant Pot.
They'll eat literally anything.
- Roberta, I think, is quite the opposite.
(both laughing)
- She's so needy.
She's such a princess, I can't with her.
I feed her hard food made with chicken and peas,
that's pretty much what stays in her bowl
and then her treats are tuna treats that she loves.
Like, she gets really excited about those.
So, I mean, you know, she doesn't have you know,
a very diverse meal plan
because you know, she's very happy with what she has.
And also, sometimes things can upset her stomach
so I hope that this will be fine for her.
I think she's pretty intuitive,
if she thinks it's gonna upset her stomach,
she's not gonna have it.
- So we're going to prepare lovingly, home cooked meals.
We're just gonna be like, mommas in here,
just like kneading the dough
and preparing the supper for our babies.
And it's gonna be a competition.
And our babies are gonna be the judge.
- Yes, and we're also gonna make them treats.
- Oh yeah.
- So it's a two course meal for our babies.
- Yeah, wet food and little treats.
- The idea is that since we know our cats the best,
they'll eat and enjoy the meals that we prepare for them.
Gonna put the meal that I prepared for Bert
down for her cat,
she'll put her preparations for her owns cats
and we're gonna see which ones they go to
and which one they like.
- We're gonna go ahead
and start making the wet food recipe first.
It's pretty simple,
you just have to kind of blend
a lot of homemade organic ingredients together.
You know?
So good for them.
- We both have hard boiled eggs in our recipes.
- Yeah, and mackerel and soft carrots.
These blenders are a little janky.
These are also from props and they don't have lids
so we have to.
Oh my God, these boys are gonna be so spoiled.
My recipe is mackerel based with carrots and chicken stock.
- Wait, what are mackerel?
- It's like a fish, it's smelly.
- My recipe is sardine based
and we're gonna put hard boiled eggs,
peas and chicken broth in it.
- Nice.
Just eyeballing this.
Mmm, yeah, that's good.
Maybe that's too much (laughing).
- My cat that I had growing up,
she was 80% deaf so she couldn't hear anything.
Then, Shinobi.
- Oh, Shinobi.
- He's alive still, I think.
- Shinobi is alive.
- And now, Bert, she's fine.
She just has no voice.
(blenders clattering)
- Here we go.
(blenders whirring)
Mine looks like cat food.
Yours looks like baby food?
- Yeah, I don't want it to be too smooth, you know?
I definitely want it to still have lumpy, wet food feel.
- I can tell you right now,
they're gonna eat the (beep) out of this.
- Really?
- Hmm-mm.
- [Jen] You guys wanna taste it?
- Absolutely not.
- I'll taste it.
- I'm stressed by that.
(record scratching)
- You know what, it's not bad.
That's not bad at all.
I'm going in for a second.
Yeah, not bad at all, wow.
They better the (beep) eat this.
Jen you wanna taste this?
- [Jen] Yeah, I can you know, try it out.
- Yeah.
Yeah, just dip your finger in there.
- You know what?
It just tastes like a tuna fish sandwich.
- Yeah.
So we're gonna store these in some Tupperware.
Clean out our blenders
and then start prepping for the treats.
- Yeah, it's treat time.
- It's treat time.
- All right.
- The recipe is a can of meats, a raw egg,
some flour, maybe a little oil
just to like loosen it up a bit,
we're gonna then make it into little balls
and then bake 'em.
So mine's a salmon based recipe,
'cause we're gonna get fancy with it.
- And my recipe is chicken based because Berty
likes chicken.
How many eggs?
- I used one.
Flour.
Trader Joe's really should sponsor us.
- We're not really measuring.
I mean, we're measuring this.
We're just throwing stuff in there.
- Which feels right, you know?
Tiny cooking competition!
(blender whirs)
I'm gonna be real with ya'll.
Our stage does not smell great.
- No.
- I think this is gonna change us.
Now we need to put this on a baking tray, right?
- Yes we do.
- I'm not like super excited to palm this.
My cat's blatantly disrespect me.
I'm sitting here hot boxing myself
making tuna meat cookies for them.
- I feel like that's just what like motherhood is.
- When your kids are blatantly disrespectful?
- Yeah, but you still have to make sure
they continue to breathe.
- Yeah, exactly.
- Don't you want to come to Freddy and I's kitchen?
- What does a meat cookie taste like?
- I don't know.
All right, this is ready.
She's ready.
- Yeah, let's bake these bad boys.
Okay.
So we have our tray of treats.
We have our oven.
And we're going to back at 350 degrees
for 15-20 minutes.
- Set timer for 15 minutes.
Okay, look at these puppies.
I mean, kitties.
Meow!
- Meow!
- Before we take them home
and before we let the boys and Bert try them,
Fred said that she'd give them a little nibble.
- I'll give this one a nibble. - Just a nibble.
Should I take the biggest one?
- Yeah, just a little bite.
(suspenseful music)
- Okay.
- It's good spunge.
- So sorry to whoever is doing sound.
- All right so we have to pack these up. Gotta clean up.
Now we're gonna go see what the cats think.
(jazz music)
Okay, so we're at Devin's house.
We have our food, we have our treats.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Devin!
We need to introduce our first contestant.
- This is Bones!
We had to put his brother in his room.
He's not happy about that.
But we had to keep the test, you know,
equal and fair.
- So basically we're gonna put down both meals on the floor
and see which one Bones goes to and likes.
Okay, Devin's over there with Bones.
- He's irritated.
He's hungry, look at his tail.
- He's ready.
I'm gonna place down these two bowls and
then Bones can have at it.
- All right, buddy.
You ready?
Eat some food!
(quack)
- [Jen] Okay, well..
- Watch this, I'm sure he'll eat this too.
- He might not like that one. Hold on, let's see.
Oh, he didn't even notice.
Doesn't matter.
Oh!
He likes Mama's food better.
- So Devin has Bones.
I think he's very satisfied with his meal
that his Mom prepared for him.
But now it's treat time.
I have my treat and I have Devin's treat.
I'm gonna put them on the floor and see which one he likes.
- Ready?
- The small one is mine.
- Oh, not one for the treats?
Does not like the treats.
Do you see that blatant disrespect?
- Yeah, I mean you know, he's not interested.
Not interested in the treats.
- All right, we're gonna get this show on
the road really fast.
Here's the food.
I'm gonna put it down.
There's the Roberta with the Fred.
- She's stressed so who knows if she'll eat
but we'll try.
I don't think she's--
- Gonna eat right now.
Oh wait.
Bertie.
Where's she going?
- She doesn't--
She has performance anxiety.
- What a cat.
- All right, there you have it folks.
The conclusion is Bones likes Devin's meal
and neither of them like the treats.
- That's okay cause Freddie likes them.
She already ate three of them on the way here.
