After that necessary _duty_ was carried out, the one that a home-little-tyrant boy could never even IMAGINE in his entire limited life, Physfit then got busy with other chores, beginning with cooking cat food!

Cat food companies are thieves, extorting money from cat owners, just like veterinarians. 100% thieves. But among them you can still find one or at the most two companies that put a somewhat more level-headed price on their products if you buy them in bulk. And in bulk, will have to be in the dried form of cat food.
Their largest size of cat food, 40 to 50 lbs, has a price of what other cat food companies offer for their 5 lb bags of dry cat food. This makes the bulk ones 8 times cheaper, and it is still expensive but there is no other choice left for someone with multiple cats.
It the ingredients aren't optimal of course. So Physfit had had to cook and prepare his own version of cat food, along offering the bulk cheap version to the cats.
The most inexpensive form of meat in the USA is chicken. But cats need more than just one type of meet. They need a variety in meat they consume. Pork, fish, liver, etc. And some of the vitamins should be added to their meals as well.
In their dry food, if at all, there's little meat and that's almost always chicken byproducts. It's not bad but it's never enough. And of course there's vegetables and seeds that Physfit had to cook just to an extent that made their structure and nutrients get closest to that which a cat would find inside a mouse or bird's stomach.
So it was involved, but was well worth it. And after all was done, it matched or exceeded the quality of the best and most expensive cat food available to buy, with about a tenth of the price.
So Physfit, got busy preparing cat food, and after that rested by getting on usenet, cursing the motherfucking Nazis in in there who had the nerve to pretend they weren't Nazis.
Right after, he turned and looked at the pendulum clock to see what time it was. He checked it against the time that computer showed at the lower right corner on the screen. It matched perfectly. But soon he got sleepy and hit the sack.
If at the time that he inserted the minute and hour hands back into the clock at 12:00 noon position, the actual time was also 12:00 noon, find out how long it took for him to prepare cat food and curse Nazis in usenet, total.
(not that hard but not trivial either)
