That poor bastard has no idea what he's trusting humans for, and he's about to find out what a lifelong addiction to chemically-engineered trash feels like. 🥲😭

One of mine is obsessed with bread. She can smell it the second we get back from the grocery store. She was born with an addiction to processed white bread and only a closed door can protect it from her.

I mean literally cats are carnivores, even the domesticated ones are 100% meat.

So what’s in cat food? Taurine? Arginine? Cats can’t convert amino acids into vitamin A…

Their food is way crazier than ours because we see a fluff ball and not an obligate carnivore.

So what’s in cat food?

Meat or fish is usually one of the top ingredients if you look at the label.

But with a ton of extras… and why?

I should hope my past comment showed I do look at the label… the food is not a straight tuna can.

Last thing I want is to get into a vegan lion argument. What are you getting at?

But with a ton of extras… and why?

Because you can provide the necessary amount of meat for a cat without it being 100% pure meat, and being less than 100% pure meat:

A. Is cheaper

B. Is less calorie heavy (which is a concern with cats getting chonk)

C. Keeps better, like pemmican

Fellow ADHDad? 😉🤪

No kids, but plenty of ADHD.

Plenty of ADHD...

Let's not talk about his dry food then.

Poor little bastard. An unwitting descendent of ancient cats' interest in having humans wait on them hand & foot... Now, cursed with having humans give them everything humans think cats want. 👀🤣

This hat looks shopped 🤨

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

Usually people buy hats from clothing shops, yeah.

Not that one. This one's more likely:

I don't think cat would enjoy having his ears and upper whiskers covered. And the bolo tie helps keep it in place.
