The rice is raw.

Lol! He has heavier sweaters and more hair this year too!

Max needs ski pants!!! He looks like he could really enjoy the snow if he was warm. I understand that completely. I hate being cold!!!!

It should work.

You can use rolled or Scottish oats too. They do not need to be soaked as long.

Max stays nice and warm in front of the fireplace most of the winter and only goes on the deck or in out backyard when it snows. It doesn’t know that much here so it usually is only a day or two. He thanks you for thinking of him though!

First and foremost thank you so very much for adopting instead of shopping. Max will eventually get used to the snow, just be careful on taking him for walks where they have thrown salt or other chemicals on the sidewalls as the pads of his feet will burn, split and bleed which is extremely painful. Use cat litter after shoveling, it is biodegradable as it is clay and will not hurt any animal.

Now to the recipe. Is it possible to use another type of oat instead of steel cut oats? Thank you.

Thank you on both accounts!
