Expert tips

  • Catherder's pie can be made with literally any cat meat, not just Sphynx. Use whatever you can find. Feral strays and mixed breed rescues work just as well. If the meat’s cooked right, you can’t get sick?

  • Instant mashed potatoes cut a ton of prep time off of this recipe and are good to keep on hand. Try any flavored, instant mashed potatoes – such as bacon jalapeño or pamplemousse – to top this main-dish pie.

  • Castor oil can be swapped out with crude oil.

  • Rock salt can be swapped out with bath salts.
