Be careful with what you give to your cats

(Not like I buy pet foods from pet stores or get that "organic" stuff that I don't even get for myself.)

You buy pet foods to eat for yourself?

I will be more careful to let you cat lick you. One drop of blood on your skin when he tastes it, and soon he will develop this taste further.

if he licked ladygoo blood he would get aids

Ima put this into my, why I like teleskop book.

Ive got 3 cats and they eat "solid" food. I mean that thing that looks like cookies.
All vets recomended it to me and also their shit its less stinky and lever liquid.
Exceptionally i buy the kind you are showing there and i allways use a spoon to remove it. Otherwise its difficult for them to eat.
Have you tried the solid one im talking about?

I'm used to calling it "dry" and "wet" food.

I'm not sure about the vet brands as some of those can get pricy, but the mass market ones usually don't have enough nutrients, missing fatty acids/oils, etc that they get in canned foods. It is supposed to help with hairballs. I always have just fed them a couple of forkfulls (tyically about a 1/4 of a can) and it seems to work without causing digestion and litter issues.

Some vets like to recommend dry food as this gives a fair chance of the cat not ingesting enough water => kidney problems => profit.

I always just fed my cats leftovers, and they were fine.

This is one of the issues i have with the internet. Not so much the act of sharing an edge case like this and announcing 'be prepared' when that's either virtually impossible or utterly impractical (better spend a minute combing this food to prevent the one in a million chance of this happening to me), no that's annoying but to be expected.

It's having the thought processes of people laid bare to you. People can go online and watch someone get smushed by a roadsign while riding a bike without once thinking "man i'll never bike again", yet see something like this and go bonkers over it. Why? I think it's the effort required. Never biking again is a huge change for some people, and huge changes aren't ideal due to the smaller changes they bring about and the required effort to maintain that position. Idly dragging a utensil doesn't require a huge change (within the day-to-day scope the mind is used to), and you get that feeling of "i protected both my cat and other consumers by doing this"

It's very hard to ignore the 'push button, receive gratification' mindset plaguing my species. Protestors shouting slogans and chants they barely understand just so they can record themselves doing it, and get the back-patting and youtube views they crave for doing so. Tweets of "#prayforX" coming from the same individuals encouraging other countries/communities take in as many refugees as they can, and then some. They don't have to do anything extra. They're likely on their phone or a PC anyways, opening a twitter tab and spewing out some hollow platitudes for that brief rush of the warm and fuzzies.

We're all guilty of it, myself included, so don't take this as some kind of us vs. them post, I merely lament the constant assault of information convincing me we're nothing but moist robots, programmed by experience, trapped within the confines of our own minds and how they work.

I wish we were more, but it's just too plainly obvious we're a collection of cells doing their best to keep on keeping on, and nothing else.
