    I’ve never understood why cats like tuna. Like how is a cat supposed to catch THIS?!

      They don’t particularly like fish nor do they digest it well.

      It is however extremely stinky and is typically the meatiest, fleshiest material they eat when they otherwisr have a life of kibble or canned foods. And for that reason they tend to ravenously enjoy tunafish.

      The cat in the second picture looks to be roughly the same size as the humans in the first picture, so shouldn’t have an issue catching tuna.

      Humans like a lot of things that we were never supposed to catch. Those two things are just not related

      Wasn’t it during WW2 that they needed the beef to go to troops overseas, so they substituted beef for fish in cat foods?

      I tried to look it up to verify, but search engines are shit and I’m not getting anything close to my keywords.

        Did they have dedicated cat food before WWII? until recently I was convinced people were just giving their dogs and cats their scraps. With cats possibly not even giving them the scraps and just letting them go hunt.

          Kibble was ‘invented’ during ww2 as a way to get around shortages on metal for canning. But it’s essentially pemmican with below human grade standards. Works fine for dogs, manages to work well enough for cats to survive, so an industry was born even when the material shortages ended.

      In the process of domesticating themselves cats forgot to update their software on the size parameter. They still they they age lions. I know this isn’t scientifically accurate in the slightest but don’t let the facts get in the wah of a good story

      It’s probably just opportunistic nutrition, or whatever the term is called when a deer eats a bird…

        When people in Sweden settled an area with a hill it could be called a “Something-bjer”. Bjer means hill and is close to the modern word Berg.

    I’m on the sea food diet: I see food, I eat it— which doesn’t help restrict myself to the sea food diet.
