Does anyone think cats complain when they're fed on a plate I just
used to eat a tunafish sandwich?

I don't bother covering butter in the microwave, I use a Pyrex cup and
set the power on low, melts a stick in about one minute with no
spatter... if not fully melted it's no biggie to give it another 10
seconds. With microwaves a lot of people set the power and the timer
too high and walk away, they deserve the mess... their pots boil over
too.
