Found this one online while browsing for what cats shouldn't eat. However I feel like this area is quite controversial and opinionated. Also feels like half the websites are written by AI and riddled with ads. So if anyone has a good source as to what cats should avoid then let me know.

Anyways, I found this nice illustration, but wanted to hear with you peeps whether you have any experience regarding these food items.

Also what's your take on milk/sour milk for cats? My previous cat loved it so much, and she aged until she was 17 years old, and never seemed to have a problem with it. Also asked the vet at the time and she said it was OK. However every other website I visit tell to never give milk(dairy) to cats. So which is it? Does it just depend on the cat?

That man has been on the right side of every issue forever.

He really has been! I know the comment is based on a joke, but when I learned who Bernie Sanders was when he was running for president I had a "oh shit it's that guy!" moment.

Pretty much any documentary I had watched about any random topic where there was a segment about US government involvement he was always on the right side of whatever was being discussed.

Just imagine what the world would be like if he had won the primary instead of Hillary.

Nope, wait, don't do it. I just tried and it makes the real world even MORE depressing.

It's when I gave up on US politics. If only it was such that Hillary won... and not that DNC actively conspired to make that happen.

As messed up and anti-democratic so many things are in the US leading to "pick one of two things". The whole system is fundamentally broken when the selection of those two things is corrupt.

But... when a person I wouldn't trust to be mentally suited to pack a bag of groceries* or park a car*, is elected president, and gets to pick several supreme court justices... The world isn't laughing at the US. They were laughing at the thought of Trump being in he primaries. They're deeply concern that a complete fuckwit ended up in charge, and what that might lead to.

Democracy (i.e. the system of governance) requires informed voters. GOP (the political party) requires uninformed voters.

The only way you can vote Republican or think that the orange baboon can be entrusted with anything more important than throw feces, is one of two thing (or both): 1) you are an idiot / uninformed 2) you are morally corrupt

*: this isn't a put down directed at people who do these things, but that it requires some mental function in order to not crash the car, or steal some groceries... and I would be equally comfortable with Trump in that regard, as with a 6 year old. Which is to say: not at all. Which puts in perspective what I think of him being president.

Honestly, it probably wouldn't have made a difference. The 'Bernie Bros' that voted for Trump were largely a myth, not really enough to swing the election, and he's far enough left (as far as American politics go) that it probably would have ended up with Trump winning more votes from Dems that claims to be centrists.

Aside from that, he's far enough to the left of most Dems that he probably wouldn't have been able to get the Speaker to introduce any legislation he favored, so it would have been the same kind of compromise bullshit that Dems always fall for.

Now, Gore? If SCOTUS had let the count proceed instead of calling it for Bush prematurely? Yeah, the world would be a very, very different place.

But salami contains garlic, doesn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There are different kinds of salami.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah, I didn’t know that. Where I live, they kind of always do (or did, when I was a child and still ate meat) but Wikipedia days the Italian salami typically doesn’t have it.

That shows the limits of this picture.

Salami is not healthy for cats.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but they can still have a little, as a treat
